Day #4 Rehab

We did about a 12 minutes warm-up walk on level surfaces, followed by 7 or 8 repetitions of going down and up a 30 degree grade (20 yds of incline each).  This was followed by a 5 minute walk back to the house.  Two repetitions of five each (flexions and extensions) followed by six reps sit-stand exercises.  He did the first three for 5 seconds each, then did 4 seconds on the last two.  We followed up with another 10 minute cool down walk on level surfaces.  I'm pretty sure we'll get another evening walk in.

Observations:  Zio is really enjoying the walks and has a bounce in his step.  We did come upon someone's "outside" cat and he was really driving with his back legs to get to the cat.  Good thing he had a leash on!  He appeared less sore today than yesterday morning, so I'll keep hoping that we're making progress!
