Another shot of Chance with one of his black playmates.
While they weigh about the same, Chance is much taller.

Here is Chance with his Christmas marrow bone.
That's what Tulgeywood kids gets for Christmas every year and there are no complaints about the same boring present again.

No PT this week. Dr. Starr is spending the holidays with family in Ohio.
Progress is slower now and I hope in another week when we go back, Dr. Starr and Kirsty will see improvement after nearly 2 weeks off.

Back to the warm sand bags. Chance is markedly calmer than he was when he started PT.

Not the greatest picture, but Dr. Starr wanted to show Chance's chest is now normal and the flattening is gone!

Chance has grown so much taller since his last visit, he is too big for the blue ball.
Everyone was amazed at how big he got over the holidays.

Here is Chance working on the ramp. You can see he is alternating his rear legs.
When he runs, he more often bunny hops.

Something new has been added now that Chance is moving so much better.
Chance quickly got the hang of the Cavalettis.

Back at PT, Chance meets Boomer, Lucy and Theo who are boarding today.

Chance gets a workout on the ramp. Here he is going up the ramp.

And down the ramp. I had to hide so he'd stop looking back at me.

Wet Chance getting dried off after his treadmil work in the water tank.

Just hanging out under the kitchen table.

Sneaking a snooze in Bogie's pen. Without the camera's flash, you could hardly see him.

Here is Chance working on the incline. It is easier going up than coming down.

Here you can see that moving forward brings his front legs together.
The rear legs still have a way to go.

Look who has graduated to the bigger yellow ball!
Chance is finally putting on some weight.

Still not thrilled about the water work, Chance is happy that he doesn't have to swim, but is only required to walk on the underwater treadmill.

Poor baby! This physical therapy is hard work and a guy can get really tired.
