Out in the Cold

For those that don't know, we are a two dog family - Labrador Retrievers to be exact. Our first was my present to Greg as a welcome to his second life after his transplant. We always spoke about getting a dog but my only requirement was that Greg's lung had to be good enough to keep up with the pup and be able to take care of it. Well, after 2 long walks in the cold with both of our lab pups, not a wheeze came from him. He was able to walk fast, keep control of our 85lb beast and even jog a bit when we parted ways for a while (our little one cannot walk as long as the big one). And, to top it off, he has a ton of energy tonight and hitting the taxes without so much as a little nap.

It wasn't that long ago that he would have to take a number of naps throughout the day because of his lack of oxygen. Even with 4 liters of oxygen, Greg would get winded at the slightest of daily tasks. It is times like these that I can only sit back in awe of this miracle.
