27. First Time Trying Water Therapy With S’mores

I’ve been wanting to try water therapy with S’mores ever since her accident but haven’t been able to work up the courage until now. (new things are scary!). The goal here isn’t for her to attempt to swim and kick her legs like you would expect from traditional water therapy. Rather this is only to make her wet so she engages in self groomin. The idea is that while grooming herself she’ll instinctively flex and move her legs to clean them. Eventually giving them more mobility over time. This method was developed by Peter Gurney.
