Whaia back on his feet
13 October 2018
Greetings everyone
All the external fixators are now removed from Whaia’s foot, the cast is off, and he is going onward towards full recovery in leaps and bounds. Phil and Suzy and the vets are pleased with his progress and it looks like it won’t be long before Whaia is back into a routine of walks, runs, whai and other exercises.
The next part of the journey is going to be about putting back on all the condition that he lost while lying around with one foot in a great big boot. Judging by his playfulness and energy when we called in to visit, he can’t wait to get on with it!
I snapped a picture of Whaia with his uniform on for the first time in months; check it out.
A heartfelt thank-you to all you 197 wonderful people who have raised over $8300 so far, for Whaia’s vet bills. We are really confident that he will be back on duty next winter ready and willing to do his job.
2018 has been an awesome winter at Ruapehu; the best snow cover for 10 years, and associated with that some pretty interesting avalanche activity. It’s not over yet, and with spring conditions upon us and summer just around the corner, take care out there in the mountains.
Kia Kaha te Whaia
Goody
