Just an Update

Trio is making good progress, now over 3 weeks since her injury and she is coping ok with having to have a quiet life.  We have had a few problems with her toes being rubbed by the cast, and with a bit of creative remodelling this seems to be under control.  It's amazing what is kept in the cupboard of the surgery!!

She is now weight bearing on the affected leg again, we spent nearly a week hobbling due to the sore toes but all is looking positive.  Still on weekly visits, and this is likely to continue until the cast comes off in another 3 weeks.  We are now counting the days down after reaching the half way stage.

Not to be outdone by one of our dogs, mum slipped last week and has broken her leg.  Some of you will know mum, she's my right hand woman!  first to call when dog/puppy sitting, let all child sitting! Do feel like sending Trio over to her so that she would be in good company.

We did manage to go to Pembrey Agility last weekend, part of the Dogs Day Out organised by Burns.  Sadly the weather didn't stay dry for long, and we all got pretty soaked by the end of the day.  Maddie was affected by selective deafness in the first class, yes it was another tunnel!  So was eliminated.  She did however win the Helter Skelter, she was the 2nd dog in and held the lead to the end.  It was rather fraught as I was helping out with the scoring thinking every dog was going to beat her.   She was also eliminated in the last class, part of this was due to being left in the car and then having to go straight into the ring, again I was helping on the ring and didn't have a lot of time to sort her out.  She picked up 5 faults on the seesaw, she was blown off balance as it tipped and so jumped off.  She then lost attention and was eliminated in the weaves, my lovely naughty munster!

Maddie's lovely trophy

Yellow with smiley faces this week, cause she's such a lovely happy girl!
