A year ago, this 11 year old had issues with his strength, endurance and balance. His activity was therefore limited and his health was not up to par. But his *mother*, Gladys, verified with routine vet-checks that there were, and are, no active disease processes or any other issues that might be affecting his function.

Together they embarked on an individualized home program that included specialized exercise and activity which we “tweaked” along the way to account for all their hard work and progress.

It shows! Look at that smile! That perfect “square” sit!

Today, Buddy is taking long walks around the neighborhood, swimming, and is doing his daily exercises! I think he actually is having FUN as well as revelling in the attention and increased abilities! Gladys is relieved that, “He acts like a very young dog, (with) no pain or aches at all.”

And, as the great picture shows, he’s is back to being able to do the stairs!
