MY FIRST AKC Q!

Mommy and I went to an AKC agility trial last weekend. I did good. I stayed in the ring, paid attention to Mommy, and finished all 4 of my courses! I also earned my first Q in Novice JWW. Mommy was so happy!

People who hadn't seen me run agility in awhile couldn't believe how good I did.

My new agility teacher thinks I have incredible potential in agility. I really like agility and I really like my new class.

NO FIGHTS!!

I have been a real good girl lately. I haven't gotten in any fights in a long time. Nobody in my new agility class keeps their dogs away from me. They are all nice to me. So I don't feel like I have to be snarky. Mommy says this is where we need to be now for my agility training. I really like it b/c I'm not the "bad girl" anymore. Mommy says I need the structure that our new class offers.

NEW MANNERS

Mommy is making me mind more. I don't really like it. She won't let me get on the sofa anymore. If she catches me on it, she makes me get off. When she goes to work, we all take turns rolling on the sofa. She also makes me sit in a stay when Molly practices her weaves. I don't like to wait, I want to go weave!! I kinda like the weaves now!

SNOW

I have had a lot of fun playing in the snow. Mommy has taken us on walks and let us play. I even went for a couple of swims. I like it when Mommy throws snowballs at me and I catch them. I also like running fast in the snow!! I hope it snows lots more!!

NO MORE AGILITY

I had to go back to the vet last week. My hips were really hurting and I couldn't hardly walk. They did Xrays and the vet said they were bad. He said I couldn't train or compete in agility. He also said I needed surgery on my hips. Mommy was real upset. She had to withdraw me from the agility trial. She also had to call my agility teacher and cancel my private lesson. Molly got to go to the agility lesson in my place. Missy and I went and watched from the car.

I go tomorrow to another vet for more Xrays and a second opinion. I hope my Xrays are better!!

HURT KNEE

I hurt my knee yesterday. Its real sore and I have to limp when I walk. I had to go to the vet today to have it looked at. He said antibiotics, pain meds, and rest. Mommy is worried b/c I have an agility trial next weekend. The vet said I should be ok. I also have an agility lesson this weekend. I hope my knee feels better by then!

MEDICINE

I have to take lots of medicine for my tummy. It feels better but I don't like taking the medicine. Mommy has to chase me sometimes so she can give it to me!
