Well, with the warmer weather it means it's time to get Loki back to the lake. If it stays warm like this hopefully he'll be swimming this Friday. Even though he hasn't gone swimming since it started getting cold, he hasn't really gained any weight back, and still doesn't have much trouble with his leg. Hopefully he'll remember what to do when he gets to the park!

He looks like he got smaller? wish my dogs liked the water

He's lost 15 pounds since he started. Which doesn't sound like much to us, but considering he started around 75 pounds, that's 20% of his body weight. He used to be pretty fat, now he's much more muscular and has some actual muscle tone to him.

Loki's not asleep, just pinned.

HA! Looks like me on Friday nights. Loki sure doesn't seem bothered at all by his situation.

Loki begging. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

Loki is looking great! thanks for the update hope you had a great turkey day

Thanks! We absolutely did. When my parents brought him out here this time at first I felt like he was significantly smaller than I remember him, then I realized I was right - He's now at what's considered the perfect weight for his breed as opposed to when I remember him, at which time he was quite a bit overweight. He's extremely energetic, hardly ever limps, and has gotten to the point where he will continue to try to get us to throw a ball long after our arms have gotten tired. When the weather's warm he swims every day, and in addition regardless of the weather he gets to play fetch twice a day. He's becoming one fit pup!

Yay! Congrats on Loki's health! That's awesome

Glad to hear you're doing well! We miss you around here....

Gettin' his paws wet at the Arizona dog park.

...No words for this one.

Wow, that's an enormous water feature for a dog park! Lucky Loki.

Yay Loki! Lookin good!
