Luka stood herself up tonight......and then stood all by herself...steady as a rock!!!!!!!!!
I was helping her do poos.....she was standing with her back legs stretched forward like she always does. I put my hand under her to support her while she does her business. Well I grabbed a baby wipe to clean her up and she took one step forward, brought both hind legs under her and then stood there all by herself....!!!!! Now this may not seem like much to you folks but to me it is a huge deal. Usually I have to help her to stand up, then she will stand there with me supporting her to get the clean up done.....well she just plain did it by herself tonight. She was so non challant about it.... We did our usual u-turn and with me under her belly with my arm, back into the house we came. Me yelling at hubby about what she did and she just having a smug look on her face... I don't know if she knows she did it or not, all I know is that she did it...and I am praising the Lord a plenty right now. And so excited...
Ok, calming down. She had her walk today and she trotted going and coming. A friend stopped by just as we were coming out. He has been gone for a couple weeks and had only seen the pics of her in an email. He pulled into the drive and sat there until I got her hooked up. Then he got out and called to her and she trotted up to him just happy as all get out to see her friend Chappy...he likes her a lot so it was a treat for him to see her all happy and moving again. We did hellos for a min and then she was off on her walk. When we got back, our friend and my hubby were discussing building a ramp for her so we can just hook up inside and then down the ramp and off to our walks. We have some 1 inch pressure treated particle board and 2x4's so tomorrow we will make her a ramp. Our friend is loaning us some cutting tools to get er done. I figure he will stop over and help probably.
It has been an exciting day and evening. The weather is turning colder. Hoping to have her skis and boots soon. She needs the boots as she is starting to fight the stirrups more. I will call Leslie at Eddie's on Monday and see if she has heard anything. If not I will figure out something till they get here......
