it's more about the "journey" and less about the "destination".
Charlie is quite a character! A wise character indeed who understands the importance of enjoying the journey 😉 She'll be able to continue to enjoy the journey more and more aooner than later.
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!

Yep, learning to discover the right amount of walking distance takes time. We messed up so many times with Jerry and Wyatt. All you can do is try your best to keep things short while still allowing her enough of a journey to get into 
mode. Maybe set a timer on your phone, so you know about when she almost starts to show tiredness (sitting, slowing, buckling on her remaining leg). Next time you go out, walk just under half that distance one way so she doesn't overdo it on the return trip.
YAY FOR !!!! Don't furget to celebrate!
