Judy, I haven't gotten my test result back yet. I guess that means that it was nothing to worry about and my doctor will probably just talk to me about it at my next appointment in September.

Layla is doing so well now. Yesterday she didn't need help walking again. Her vet brought her out for us and told us that she has been just so motivated lately. She took video of her on the treadmill and on the exercise ball... she said Layla is the only dog she's had who has so much movement in her hip flexors on the exercise ball so that's really exciting! So her vet is getting video of that to document it.

I asked if we could see a video of her walking, since we don't see that at home and it's kind of not real to us yet. I know she's doing it every day, but I don't know what it looks like or anything. So she said "Well why don't you just come in for a rehab session with her?" and that's what we're going to do on Tuesday afternoon! I'm so excited to see her moving again!

I just want to share something that I think is so cute. For the past few weeks, when Layla runs out of water in her bowl, she will flip it upside down so we know. If we just glance at her from across the room, we know she needs water if her water bowl is upside-down. It just made me giggle because I was talking with a designer while she was eating her kibble, and when I turned around to check on her before continuing with work, her bowl was upside down and she was sitting there beside it, patiently waiting with a "please, mom?" look in her eyes. I just love her to peices!
