    I got my needed "cookie" today at PT

    One of the hobbies I'm looking forward to getting back to is training my dogs. The pain of my "old" knee took too much out of me to be a good dog trainer. But when training dogs I used rewards like toys or treats, the often gets a "cookie" for hard work. My progress from my LTKR has been good...

That said! I know have an almost 10"...
