Toned up

Molly strained a muscle in her back leg a little while ago, she got checked out at the vets and we were told on lead walks and it would probably take up to 6 weeks to heal completely. During this time you could tell that her muscles were becoming less defined and generally decreased in size etc

Now that she is back to full strength we have been playing fetch loads again and walking her off lead, her muscle tone is increasing by the day. I'm so imrpessed at the speed she has regained her fitness levels!
