Doctors and Dancing


Today we paid a visit to Dr. Jen for another laser treatment.  She suggested we come in as often as we can; even daily if possible.  While daily is out of the question, we may be able to come in weekly.  I don't know that we will need much longer though, but you be the judge from these pictures:


Laser Treatment, Left Hind






   
Skip checking to make sure Krista is doing it right.   Thanks Krista!

Here is what they looked like 25 days ago immediately following his laser treatment:

Do you think he will need many more treatments??

Thank you Jeanie for paying for his treatment today!  That was a wonderful surprise :)

And thank you Dr. Jen Powers... you are the best.


Now, I am going to tell you something, and please don't laugh: 
It seems that when you put a Parelli training stick and string in my hands, turn me loose in a pasture with a horse (where nobody is looking, of course!), I suddenly get this notion that I am an Olympic gymnast with one of those long streamers in my hand.  My old ballet training takes over and I end up twirling the string, and myself, all around that boy!  I guess you can call it my version of the Parelli "Extreme friendly game!"  By now I am sure you are thinking I am a bit "odd," shall we say, but it is amazing how much a horse and dancer have in common. 



 Oh, yes, and I use him for my personal ballet stretching bar too:


He doesn't even flinch when I raise a leg up and put it on his back.  What a good boy!

Of course, if you still think I am crazy, just remember that I am trying to desensitize him to as many unusual things as possible!  :)
