We took the right paw boog the chocolate lab to physical therapy this morning

The menace to society the knucklehead is ten he has a bad hip. We have him on medicine. He knew as the boys and I turned down the road towards the pond it is a old rock quarry that filled up I was told in the 1930’s. He was shaking and shivering whining with excitement I know this place it is fun fun place.

As soon as the door was open he was off. Like a chocolate rocket well now at a fast hobble. He Flys off the dock and splash and the ducks we’re flying off. Starts swimming and smiling we joined him swimming we would go swinging off the rope he’s like physical therapy with the man and my boys is awesome he is like great belly flop boy 2. I hope it helps him with his arthritis and keeps him limber.

He really is a load our one son was on a float raft. And he swam over like come on boy help me up I need to lounge with you. And his human brothers helped him on the raft. And pushed the big chocolate load around the pond.
In these times of turmoil I’m laid off collecting unemployment no whine. My wife is working from home. Rumor is call back July. Maybe ten years hope take my union pension. But moments like this morning I’ll take them. Boog is out he’s exhausted my boys out playing basketball in driveway. There is a formula to his physical therapy first we swim then we stop and get ice cream.

I love your stream of consciousness writing. It carries me along and I see what's going on.

Beautiful!

Good luck with the PT for boog and good luck with the job coming back.

Almost every country town had one not far away, as limestone was very common there in middle TN.


What a great therapist dad Boog has in you!........

Best of luck with your call back to work.
