I also refuse to walk through dog crap. All in all I think she’s doing pretty well. You don’t need to be so down about her. While leg injuries aren’t something to celebrate, they aren’t anything you need to stress about. She’s a dog not a horse, leg injuries don’t mean the end of her life. If that is your biggest concern with her at the moment, I think you’re doing pretty good. There’s a dog, Miko, that Bear and I saw every day. Miko was a 12 year old malamute who had been paralyzed in his backend since he was 2. He was still living a pretty good life all things being considered. Don’t let the small things distract you from your bigger victories.
