Week 3 - Hydrotherapy!

So this week Brooke bean started Hydrotherapy on Tuesday. To say she was not impressed initially was an understatement! It was a good 20 mins before she moved a foot in the water! Katrina was brilliant with her and took loads of time building her confidence up. We discovered that corned beef was the thing to get Brooke walking!

To have a look at Brooke on the treadmill click here which should take you to the Hydro-Mac facebook page.

She looked quite stiff after being on the treadmill but I guess it was the biggest workout she has had for well before the pups were born!! She looked ok walking the next day though which was good and hopefully it will be the start of her getting stronger.

Its a hard life...

We actually managed a family photo for the first time in ages!

Which I had to take very quickly as they weren't very patient!

A new exercise for this week is getting Brooke to stand on two wobble cushions so she has to keep her balance. She found it really tricky to start with but is only allowed to do it for a very short time. Brodie wanted to be my assistant :-)

A really bad pic but the other thing I have done this week is fed Bean out of a lotus ball a couple of times. I can see this being useful for the future as when she is finally allowed off lead she will go nuts if its not set up as an exercise so thought she could learn to go to a lotus ball rather than a cage ball which would send her scatty!!
