3 and a half weeks after Vader started limping we were back at the forest this week. Although the puppies have had some long walks they don’t run about as mad in the local parks as they do in the forest, even Chewie runs a bit more.

We had a great time walking for just over 2 hours and took a slightly different route than normal. We did get muddy but the puppies had a swim in the pond to clean up before coming home. The puppies love it in the forest with all the different scents and as it is so vast that they run for miles.

My main concern was the effect it could have on Vader and I was so relieved that he showed no signs of stiffness or limping the next day. It looks like the 3 sessions of acupuncture are working and we have had 3 sessions left. As you can see from the photos they have a completely different way of travelling
