My hip hurts my glutes hurt i spent 45 extra minutes on my walk trying to catch a loose dog while walking my big dog. As i have been warned off running (hip) i was walking as fast as possible. I got within INCHES of catching him but he was terrified and kept running. He was headed for busy area and i see another dog walker guy and im hollering “catch him catch him!!” And then i lost track of them the guy turned around and started running after the dog who was running (and had just gotten out of the street facing oncoming traffic). I had also wrangled in 3 youngsters (probably 12-13) on bikes who almost caught dog also but he was too strong and got away. I have been so worried for him. He was a mostly white Aussie mix and then on the neighborhood facebook page i see they found out he is chipped and has a name. Gizmo!! The guy i hollered at and the 3 kids and another guy cornered him and sweet talked him and were able to catch him. I knew they had caught him as the kids kept riding around till they found me to let me know he was safely leashed. Humane society called owners but got no answer. Hoping by tomorrow he will be safely home. I think i did 6 ish miles in my pathetic rescue attempt but my leg sure was throbbing from the fast as possible walk for so long. Not the distance that got me just the speed and probably the worry. All seems to be ending well tho. Who said kids are not amazing?! These were the best kindest kids ever. Reassuring in a world where humanity sometimes seems lost.

I'm glad after all that, the dog was captured! Hopefully, he's reunited with his owners, soon. You take care & rest up!

I can imagine in a high traffic area that would have been frightening for all involved in the chase. Like you I can’t run or speed walk so catching a running dog for me would be a futile attempt. I hope the owners appreciate the help from others in keeping him safe. Good job !

So glad Gizmo was caught. The prosthetic hip thing is a bugger. My stretch class stretched me in ways that my hip was not happy about. Although I told the trainer knows this is an issue and tried to modify accordingly, the pain the next day...yikes. Am hoping that it is a case of scar tissue breaking down and not damage.

You are such a. good person! I would've done the same, probably injuring my knees but you gotta help the animals! Did you do any stretches after you got home? That sometimes helps my hips. 🩷

Honeebuns he was just two blocks from a busy busy road where speed limit is 45 but so many young people drag race or just plain speed 65+ and there are 4 lanes of traffic. I had such horrific visions of seeing him get hit and then he changed direction and bless that boy on the bike he almost caught him also and then he ran past me etc toward yet another high traffic street. We are in a community that is about 4000 homes with a towne center, gas stations, banks, restaurants, grocery , pet pros and so much more including my physical therapy office so there is just a lot of of vehicular traffic. Wish i could accept good job but i failed at the capture tho wrangling those kids in helped in the final rescue as it turns out.

Annisworkingonit-do you ever get the heebie jeebies that the pain is the new hip failing? Every time it starts throbbing like pre surgical repair i get nervous. That pain i lived with was unbelievable and im afraid of it returning.

Diana i dont know how good of a person i am tho i try😂 i just have a deep love for Gods animals. I should have stretched didnt even think of it. We came home and had to go thru the probate appointment directions that came today then ran to Costco and some other errands and before i knew it it was 11 pm. Tried to go to sleep but got maybe 2 hours. Hip and leg are throbbing from my adventure. Small price to pay if i was in any way helpful in getting him rescued but dang i need my sleep. How are you doing?

You are my hero. And everyone else involved. I hate to see dogs in danger like this. WE both know what can happen.

Sure do get the heebies. Weirdly the pain is a bit different from when the hip was degrading, but unpleasant nonetheless. I've always got it in the back of my brain that in my lifetime provided it's long, I can only have one other replacement (maybe). Same no running issue (albeit I did once when I saw that somebody had left my gate open and all three of my furbabies were out in the outside yard. I booted it then as my littles are well, little and with coyotes and cars adrenaline just kicked in and off I went. Did you check into the squat movement yet?

Annisworkingonit-nope not yet my follow up is in a couple of months so i will then. I think because i spent so many decades in the gym i have some kind of core memory thing going on so i dont really think it will be a problem. I did dial back the leg press tho and will talk to him about that. Im doing 180 pounds on both legs instead of 200 and 100 on single leg. It’s pretty easy for me but I’ve been thinking I should verify it’s okay. I have jetted a couple of times for a few hundred feet just because i wanted to see how i felt and i felt fantastic but a few hundred feet vs miles on pavement i understand is a no go. But yes, if needed as in your case, boogie right.
