making progress one paw at a time

Boomer slowly continues to make progress with that he can do. Monday he was able to walk about 1/2 of our usual walk on his own.  Of course, this is with me picking him up and getting him to the sidewalk.  He still can't do stairs and I'm afraid for him to do the stairs.  But he went outside and was able to do a lot of the walk on his own and when I went to put the sling underneath him, he would stop and wouldn't want to move.  He wants to do his walking unassisted. I'm glad he wants to make all of the progress on his own. He's a good little dude.

He also is a bit more sure of himself when he is downstairs in the house.  I was in the fridge getting my lunch together and I had left him on the bed about 20 feet away from me.  All of the sudden I saw him at my feet!  He is wanting to get up and walk around downstairs.  He's really good on the carpets we have down, but the hardwood floors make him uneasy.

He wants to be able to do what he used to be able to do, like go under the coffee table, but I've now yelled at him for that.  He doesn't understand his staples and that's a hard thing.  But, he's making more and more progress.  His walks do seem to tucker him out.  For example:

We're happy that he's making so much progress.  We'll continue to update as things get better.  But for now, here's a picture of his sleeping quarters:
