Getting into shape
Don't think that one hike per week is enough for us… After conquering St. Jacob with the Swissy gang we joined forces for some water fun in Iški vintgar (a nice, smallish gorge near Ljubljana, with a little river and lots of shade, suitable for hot days) and on Saturday Gregor took us to Limbarska gora, a hill 20 km from Ljubljana :) .

Back in action
Some time has passed since our last report, but by now you know that doesn't mean nothing has happened. They removed Sambo's stitches after 3 weeks and it was obvious by then that all healed amazingly well; now, after a month, I can only say Wow. Judging by the way it looked after the operation I would never even imagine that it will be barely noticeable. You can see from a front view that his face is a bit 'bumped in', from the profile it's quite visible under certain angles, whereas under other angles you can't see anything at all.
Otherwise Sambo's feeling well, he's in a normal mood – therefore hyper, neurotic and giving big grins all over the place; he has an unusually big appetite, so I finally managed to convince him to put on some weight – because of his problems with his hind leg and lower back we visited a physiotherapist and she was a bit shocked because of his figure (she probably though I was kidding when I told her we didn't need to do an Xray cause he has nothing to hide…). I told her that this was a nicely slim figure for him and that until a few years ago he had 4-5 kg less and that he has had problems with low weight his entire life (actually, to be completely fair, he couldn't care less, I considered that a problem). Anyways, he did need a kilo or two more and now that he's gained it I'll reduce his meal a bit, keeping the treats for clicking and we're increasing the activities as it is, so I hope we'll get to a state when he's neither too thin nor too heavy for his joints.
And some photo documentation of recent trips from this month:
Beautiful winter in Bovec
Hike to a nearby hill, St. Jacob
Doesn't look bad at all for a post-cancerous almost 10-year-old with half his nasal bone missing, don't you think? ;)
