Happy Monday!  Jax has had a great week.  He has been going for short walks around the block (sometimes it takes a while) but he tries.  He was so excited when I said walk last night that he actually tried to run!  There was some hopping involved.  It made my heart happy to see him get so excited.  He has been eating fairly well so I think we have kept his weight stable for a month or so now!  Yippie small victories to celebrate.  Time for some snuggles with the fur ball.

 

Jax had an adventure this weekend!  He went to Sugarloaf ski mountain with us for a night!  No snow yet but the foliage is amazing!  Jax was so excited to be there his nose was going crazy with all the smells!  We took a little walk down the mountain near the condo where we were staying and he had to lay down!  He loves being outside but the walk was really difficult for him.  We didn't go far from the condo at all and took our time outside letting him just rest in the grass!  I wanted to cry!  It is tearing my heart out watching him try to do something and then fall, trip or lay down because its too much.  I think back to this time last year and he was chasing the kids in the leaves!  Here are some pictures of his trip.

Jax had a rough time last night at the field.  I took him in the car to see my sons flag football game.  He was so excited to go!  He was so happy!  When we got there we took a slow short walk around the field.   He fell down a few times so I had to help him get to a standing position.  Poor pup!  He was so happy to see all the kids and be out with everyone.  Today he got to rest and lay on his bed!! He ate well yesterday and today...yippee!  I feel so glad when he eats his food.  He has gotten so skinny!  He looks so snugly in this picture!  I think I need some cuddle time!
