Therapy Dog!

This morning Jonah was a Toad for his physical therapist. All he would do for her is cry. After a good long nap he was much happier! This afternoon after working Jonah hard in the walker I put him on the floor to play with his toys while I folded the laundry. As I folded I noticed Jaxton (our yellow lab) was frantically searching for something. Finally he comes running to Jonah and throws him a miniature tennis ball. This is the only dog ball that Jonah can palm and throw so this is the one I always have Jax find when he wants to play with Jonah. Jonah smiled and rolled to his side. He grabbed the ball and threw it, as best as he can, to Jax. Jax grabbed it and threw it back to Jonah. They played this way for a few minutes until Mommy intervened. In physical therapy we are still working on strengthening Jonah's trunk while sitting so I went and got two big pillows to prop Jonah between. The video tells the rest of the story. They played like this for nearly 15 minutes. ...
