It's a bird, It's a plane, its....Nathan RUNNING
Not sure if you can really judge just how fast Nathan is running. You can kind of tell by how fast I'm moving and by the sound of Frankie's panting in the background.
Nathan you must be so pleased with yourself! Go baby go!
Nathan, how does your mommy wrap your toes? My name is Cher and I had surgery four months ago and am now just starting to walk. Problem is like you I flip my toes over and drag the middle two down to the quick.
I buy 1" fabric bandage tape. I cut off a piece about 4 inches long, then split it lengthwise so I get 2 4 inches pieces each 1/2 wide. Then I wrap that narrow strip of tape around the bad toe on each foot. Be sure to get between the toes and wrap tightly (not too tight that it would hurt). Tape should stay on pretty well because at 4" it makes about 2 rotations around the toe. As long as the ground is not wet, it stays on. If its wet, it will fall off.
Thanks so much. It has been really encourging to see Nathan's progress. Cher walk is just like Nathans when he first started to walk. It just took Cher a litttle longer. A toast to our two amazing Doxies!
YAY!!!!!!
