Cole's Graduation

Exactly 4 months ago, Cole started physiotherapy at Auburn University Small Animal Clinic.
5 months ago, he'd undergone TPLO surgery to stabilize and resolve the torn CCL in his knee.

His first knee surgery performed at another clinic had failed (miserably) and I was determined that this one would be successful.
First order of priority:  rest.

Cage confinement for a month.  Then he was released into the care of the physiotherapist three times a week.

Liz Creamer is now Cole's favorite person on the whole planet... even if she makes him swim in the wave pool.

From this:  1 month into physiotherapy:

... see the atrophied right hinny?

To this:

Symmetry and MUSCLES!  I admit to spending an inordinate amount of time staring at his butt.  It's the view I missed the most since his first surgery in December.  
He's back now!

Two steps ahead of me.  All is right in the world again.
Heart felt thanks to Liz for her dedication and expertise.
Today, Cole was given a graduation party.  Check out his Auburn University bandanna!

I imagine this is the face Cole will have on Friday morning when  I tell him he's not going to his Spaw Day at Liz's place.

Some people just do their job, others put their hearts into it.
