Mollie Update

Mollie is 12 now, and showing signs of her age with arthritis in hips and spine, also wrists. I've gotten a ramp for the car so she doesn't get hurt getting in or out. She has both Metacam and Tramadol daily, which helps her stay active. She is not able to do long or hikes, but manages quite well on flatter trails. We walk at Riverbend Park most days and stay under an hour, which is the time limit the vet says she should be out.

Here she is enjoying a hike on the mesa last week. We do go beyond the 1-hour time frame sometimes with no adverse effects.

 

And Riverbend Park on Sunday.

You will be surprised at what a DNA test showed Mollie's heritage to be!

Thanks to Gerry for the update!
