New Bolton's recommendation makes sense to me based on the rads, the lameness evaluation, and the therapeutic shoe he is wearing. Also we can arrange for 'quiet turnout.' Bob has not been to see Riley since early October--he said it was too upsetting to see him confined. I'm hoping that the both of us will soon be watching him enjoy the out of doors. If all goes well, he'll be on 1/3 an acre turnout with a baby-sitting oldster by Thanksgiving. But he has to get his ya-yas out first, and stay injury/lameness free. Here is our first session...
