decided to encourage Gavin going through the trash. I figure the balancing is a good core workout! So I let him see me putting the yummy recycling food containers in there. It sure keeps him busy

I'm sure he's quite happy to do this kind of work-out!

Great idea Cindy! At his age he may as well do whatever brings his enjoyment.

I am using the food ball again. I figure nosing it around is a workout, right?
we did a normal potty walk this AM and while he enjoyed it (at the beginning at least) I can tell it tired him out.
SO this evening will be a whellchair potty walk.

In general, Gavin has been pretty perky so far this week. I have been sticking to wheelchair potty walk once a day. and balance exercises are pretty simple right now. I basically pick up one of his front paws and pull it up and forward (so he is balancing on one rear and one front leg). I let him put weight on it, but it shifts his balance and he (hopefully) uses his core. I do it a couple of times a day, for a few seconds with each front paw.

Well...Laddie says tearing up paper is one of his favorite occupations and a few lemon square crumbs for dessert make it an extra sweet deal!!well, my 'trash' is the recycling bin.
