Hendrix had a good time at Christmas.  My daughter dressed him up with holiday ribbon.  He spent the day with everyone, getting lots of attention.  So much attention that he finally fell asleep in his basket under the dining room table.

Holly has a home in time for Christmas!  Maybe her name brought her some holiday luck!

Jasper is staying with his foster family - forever!

Look at that handsome face!

Bungee is in great shape, all muscle!  He can scale fences and tries to escape, so he’ll need a savvy GSP lover to adopt him!

Mary met Hendrix today and I wasn’t sure she was going to let go of him!  Mary has adopted GSPs from us, and she just loves them.

Here Hendrix is balancing over a small bolster while Krista works with his rear legs.

Now he has to try to get the hamburger toy.  Krista is supporting his back legs to help him try to push.

Krista tries him out in the therapeutic pool. What’s going on!?!

Here he’s able to work his back legs since the water helps support his body weight.  What fun!  By the end of his session he was all tired out, and had a good nap.

Striker is safe in rescue now, settling in at his foster home.  He was neutered this morning.  More pictures soon!

Here’s Teal, in her holiday garb!  This sweetheart is one of the mellower puppies from Miley’s litter, and hopes to find her forever home very soon.  Seems she has mostly lab temperament, with a little GSP energy from her mom tossed in.

Hendrix had his first physical rehabilitation appointment today.  This is his therapist, Krista.  She’s doing an assessment, checking out his range of motion, strength, reflexes.  She’s seeing if he can use his back legs when his body is supported.

She feels optimistic that he can make some progress, because he does have some voluntary movement in his rear legs.

Hendrix gets some electrical stimulation, getting the message from the muscles to the brain and back.  We also got a home program with lots more things to work on at home.  Hendrix was exhausted at the end of his session - that therapy stuff is hard work!
