Well, I cannot complain, if I started it would take an hour....:O) hope you and the family are doing well also...My blind, deaf arthritic dog goes to the chiropractor once a month and it sure helps her...My vet just got licensed to do chiropractic on dogs....he is a sweetheart of a guy.... He and his assistant also stretch her (like traction) I swear she can be stretched 2 inches, then they hold and let her go back to normal and do it again...for this they muzzle her, but she never has growled at them...she has a disc problem that you can see on the Xrays....

As long as she eats and wags her tail we are doing fine...once in a while she gets stuck in the corner of the small bathroom. Nose in corner and if she trieds to turn her head to get out of the corner she either bumps into the sink cabinet on one side or small table on the other...I have to grab her tail and pull her out...its funny as the dicken, she just stands there and waits for me to find her...her other problem is she has learned to walk the walls to get from one room to another, but once in a while ends up in the middle of the living and comes to a dead stop...doesn't know which way to go, patiently waits for me to turn her in the right direction to the kitchen....but does the steps to go outside great, can find her poo place without any problem and also finds her way back to the garage....amazing dog...

LOL...I can relate to that. Sounds like your dear pooch is doing well with all her health issues. They have a sense unlike we humans to begin with so it isn't surprising.

Perhaps when they do the stretching on her, she is aware of it helping her in walking. Might even feel good to her, or, she isn't feeling it at all. Too bad she can't communicate her thoughts! :)

They are amazing creatures!
