Hi Jeff,

Sophie is doing wonderful. She is quite happy to wear her braces! She will go stand by them in the mornings, for me to get them on her. I have to say, she has played more, and also is more bouncy now as she's noticed they must help her. She will run some out in the yard now again, and nearly jumped over a small bush in the yard, so she is gaining confidence that the braces are giving her stability in her hips.

When I took both dogs out to the Vet for nail trimming last week, (Dr. Pat was on vacation), but on the way out of the Vet office, Sophie didn't wait for me to put her ramp on the Tahoe for her to walk up into the SUV, she actually jumped up and in. Before her braces, she refused and couldn't jump in any more. So, I have to say, she's being helped by having them! Also, Sophie has not been having to take pain medications, except once, but that a couple of weeks after we received her braces, so she was in her worst pain still.

I am so pleased with the braces!! She feels so special because when I put them on her, I tell her how pretty she looks with them, and she's just very enthused with them.

Cheers,

Harvetta
