Hanging Out

Life is a bit slower when recovery from cruciate surgery is the centre of your life. We walk 3 times a day, but we walk slowly. We do exercises on Elliott's leg, and we do them slowly. We spend more time just hanging out together. English Springer Spaniels are often caricatured as crazy, busy, insanely overactive dogs.

Here is an example of our fast-paced life at the moment.
