It dawns on me as I’m filming Lloris on our mornings walk, that in all honesty I've lost my perspective on his progress.
I can’t actually recall what his walk looked like before his IVDD injury! I know he didn’t walk like a wobbly snake and randomly fall over but what did his stride actually look like?? How far ‘off it’ are we?
I’ve spent hours this afternoon searching though old videos on my phone in pursuit of some good walking footage I can use as a comparison.
It would seem way back then in our perfect life way before this trauma hit, that filming Lloris just randomly walking along wasn’t something I seemed to do!
BINGO! I finally find some footage from August 2019 that shows his walk perfectly!
Take a look at the comparison between then and now …
I suppose when the two are put together his wonky walking is quite clear, but it has also given me hope. We are not a million miles off of where we need to be!

I knew yesterday was too premature to be popping the champagne on his toilet habits and of course I jinxed it and today he has let me down.
I leave him for a stint home alone whilst I go to work and arrange for his Nanny not to come and babysit.
As I arrive home his gorgeous little face is staring out of the window at me. I walk in, all is well, no accidents!
I then get hit repeatedly with his red ‘Christmas Croc‘ he stops, looks at me right in the eye and let’s out a piddle.
I clearly have been told of his disapproval !
It‘s a battle of wills this evening as I scold him and throw him out in the garden where he is supposed to do his piddling!
He’s soon right where he wants to be though… cuddling in my arms on the sofa. The cheeky little devil! 1 - 0 to Lloris
Well 5 days dry is our record, we are right back to the start. Let’s see if tomorrow can once again be Day 1!
