Too Much Bouncing

Harrison does not walk to get from place to place. He bounces, leaps off of things and pretty much looks like he is always doing parkour. From the floor to the back of the couch to the coffee table over to the armchair... He loves to move and thanks to his crazy long legs he can leap to just about anywhere. Combine that with his love of zooming around the back yard and leaping of our 2 foot rock wall at full speed and he has somehow injured his right rear leg.

Harrison, getting some lap time while he rests his ankle

At first he was holding it really high and now after a day of rest he is using it but mostly just to balance himself when standing or walking. Because he seems to be getting better fairly rapidly I am making him rest, limiting his running and jumping and watching him closely. Since running and jumping is how Harrison normally moves through space this is not easy on either of us. And since he has to be on leash when outside it's not going to be fun tomorrow when the predicted rain and windstorm hits us.

He is mostly managing his leash time well but most feels the pain of restraint when Chima and Sal are zipping around the yard hunting critters and he desperately wants to join in, crashing through shrubs and leaping off walls. Here's to hoping that his leg heals with miraculous speed.
