I growled at mom this morning when she said it was time to go to work. The only way was agreeing to this ridiculous idea was to leave the house with my "stogie" in tow.
And then at work, my co-workers put up my "anti-jump shield" on my stroller. Seriously, rainy days are the worst!

Ready to head into the work week!Happy Monday everybody!

It's snowing!! ❄ I played and played until I couldn't run anymore. But don't worry ...it wasn't because of surgery. It was because the snowballs got too big! 😆 The snowballs were bigger than my head!

I'm still going to rehab, and I'm feeling great! This time I tried surfing! Dr Mary says we have to strengthen my core muscle to help my back muscles. The back muscles are still a bit twitchy and achy. So instead of doing sit ups, I'm surfing. ...but in reality, this kinda feels like a bath, and you all know how I feel about bath time. 🐶

5 months after surgery and my back is still tight and spasm-y. Dr Mary says it might be because I race through my exercises too fast just to get a treat. Maybe some truth to the that! So I have some new exercises for my core muscles.
After my exercises, mom massages my back while laying on the PEMF mat from . I don't understand why people don't believe me when I tell them my life is difficult when I beg for belly rubs!🐶😆

Uuno is returning to his position as Bravery Assistant at Dexter Dental Studio!

Rehab has been going well and he continues getting stronger every day.

His return will begin with a few restrictions. To reduce the risk of Uuno falling or jumping, he will not be sitting on patient’s laps in the dental chair.

Uuno will be back in his palace at the front desk, ready to greet you; or you may just find him snoring!

Mom made me take a bath today. 🛁🧼 As you know, I hate baths. But she said I can't go back to work smelling like a dirty dog!
Yep...medical leave is over (with restrictions) and summer vacation is over. Back to work!!
I get to see all my co-workers and my friends who come to get their teeth cleaned! ..so I will forgive mom this time for putting me in the tub.

Birthday presents 🎁
Birthday presents 🎁

On my birthday, mom still made me go to my physical therapy rehab appt. Geez, mom!! But somehow they knew it was my birthday and gave me a present! That made my belly happy!! #birthdayboy🎉 #nodietingonbirthdays Thank you to Dr Mary and all the nurses at ARF! 🐶🥰 #BraveryAssistant #goodboy #IVDDawareness #IVDDsurvivor #dachshund #dachshundsofinstagram #dachshundlife #DentalComfortDog

Today I got to hit the big boy trails!! Mom has been making me stay safely on the neighborhood sidewalks. The big boy hiking trails have bicycles, joggers, and other dogs 🐕...lots of traffic, she said. I walked faster on the trails and lots of sniffing, too. I walked 15 min before I sat down to rest. #summerdays🌞 #hikingadventures #BraveryAssistant #goodboy #IVDDawareness #IVDDsurvivor #dachshund #dachshundsofinstagram #dachshundlife #DentalComfortDog

Trying to get dry after my first bath after surgery. Mom was worried my zoomies would be too fast. My legs are tired, but I'll take a nap. Naps are my specialty! #ihatebaths🐶 #BraveryAssistant #goodboy #IVDDawareness #IVDDsurvivor #dachshund #dachshundsofinstagram #dachshundlife #DentalComfortDog

First day of freedom!! I have been released from crate prison! I got an excellent report from Dr Sara @holistichealingandchiropracticcenter This week I started being able to walk in a straight line. This is important, because I love to walk on the curb! My back legs only swing and drag toward the end of my walk when I might be a little fatigued. I am getting stronger and stronger! Thank you for cheering me on! 💕🐶💕 #BraveryAssistant #goodboy #IVDDawareness #IVDDsurvivor #dachshund #dachshundsofinstagram #dachshundlife #DentalComfortDog

Rabbit hunting
Rabbit hunting

Good morning! 5 weeks after surgery, and I'm moving around well! My right back leg has a gimp, but it isn't slowing me down, and I'm not afraid of it. Mom doesn't let me run yet, but I still need to hunt for the rabbits. 🐇 They better hide, because one of these days I'll be coming for them!! #BraveryAssistant #goodboy #IVDDawareness #IVDD #dachshund #dachshundsofinstagram #dachshundlife
