Big news flash: I just herded a tennis ball really fast! Who sez I can't run?

Oops. I REALLY shouldn't have tried to run yet. I'm on restriction. But suddenly I couldn't resist chasing corgi buddy Jack 'cuz he was headed for the ball. I did a funny little gallup for a few seconds before dog-ma caught up with me and said "Whoa boy!"

This is the first time my back legs have worked this well since before my back went out! My spinal cord is really healing great. Oh woo woo! We're all smiles now. I get to tell my surgeon Dr. Russ Gurevitch the good news today when I go to see him in Petaluma to have my surgical staples removed.

I'm grateful that I can walk and won't be needing a dog cart now. Dog carts work great, of course, but I prefer to herd with my own four legs. Who wouldn't? If you do need a cool cart for a disability, check out the wonderful dog Cart Program at CorgiAid.

CorgiAid is a great organization that helps rescue and foster corgis and corgi mixes. You might also want to check out the Corgis on Wheels Yahoo Group.

This is me, Tilin corgi, in a photo taken on May 30, 2008. I have a 9-inch surgical incision. See where my back is shaved? That's where my incision is.
