Duncan is allowed to start walking a bit! The latest x-ray shows the break healing very well. He's supposed to walk slowly, not running or jumping or twisting. Ha! He's much better at running, jumping, and twisting than he is at walking slowly, and I'm sure he thinks we're the meanest parents ever for stopping him, but it's one step closer to normal.

| Awkward things, leashes - always in the way! |
To encourage walking, we started working on the "heel" exercise we've been learning about at school (really more walking on a loose leash than a formal heel, but it sounds good.) We lured him using a smear of peanut butter on a long spoon, which he quite liked. But then we broke out the good stuff - a jar of beef baby food - and he thinks that heeling may possibly become one of his favourite things ever. Look at those eyes!
