Well, he seemed stiff coming down the A-frame, but I only noticed that cuz the person taking the video pointed it out. But if he’s 9, he probably does get stiff.

I think you know best.

You might want to put him on glucosamine chondritin (spelling?) the same supplement people take. We have two fosters that take it and it made a huge difference within a few weeks. Ask you vet. Charless last blog post..Looking at the Las Vegas Real Estate Market

Not sure if Tammy, Kim’s friend, said something to you after your run. But we did see his rear being stiff. Tammy knows a lot about horse confirmation. It is a bit different than dogs, but when I heard Edie talk on the video, that is exactly what Tammy said.
Is Levi more muscular in the front, neck, chest, legs? That usually indicates compensating for lack of the ability to use the (in his case) the rear.

Only you and those who know him can really tell, but the girl who shot the vid nearly had me in tears! Levi looked like he was having fun, though!

I think he looks okay. Some dogs just have a stiffer gait than others. Probably wouldn't hurt to stretch him and see how he is moving!! Christys last blog post..More sleepy dog pics from a different day
