Lots of stuff!

Cindy Hickey visit went really well. I was pleased with our visit. Current speculation is a carpal problem. As soon as I start my new job (hopefully soon!), Bailey will be going in for carpal xrays. She had a very long and intensive massage. She was a VERY good dog for it too!

I have a whole slew of stuff to do with her, starting Sunday. She's been moving well still, not very stiff at all, which makes me happy.

I was a 'good trainer' today and worked Buzz on weaves with a target (trying to get his focus in the weaves and not on me... so target at the end... it seems to be working so far) and he was a good boy! He was also working on his long sit maintain while I was setting the weaves up and he was excellent then too!

Bailey-boo dog ran two tracks (I swear, she's understanding it more and more each time we track... so fun to see her work). We also worked on article indication and it developed into her laying ON the object and facing me... we'll see how well that actually works. I also did some go-out/away work for Utility.

Note to self from GP/KV- FOOT TARGET! hehe

Picked Jeremy up from the airport today, I've missed that boy a LOT. So much fun to chat again. I'm excited he's home for the summer, even though not really because he'll be at camp, pfft! AND, he'll be in CHINA next fall! Super cool for him though, great opportunity!

News from the vet!

Bailey's anaplasmosis titer and her bloodwork showed her body is doing just fine with the anaplasmosis and the vet opted not to treat with antibiotics! That's good news! Her body CAN do something right!

Dr. Enochs was happy with the bloodwork of both dogs, so that really is a relief.

I'm almost done with school! YAY! We're hoping to start tracking next Wednesday (gonna be a busy day but so worth it) and then Bailey has her appointment on Thursday morning.

I'm not quite sure when agility will start yet.

Bailey- the broken dog...

Bailey and I went to the ACTS CPE trial. She was limping slightly the night before, but seemed fine in the morning. Turns out she had two subluxuated disks, two very tight quads, and something wrong with her elbow. She saw the massage therapist who helped her immensly, but she was pulled for the weekend and hopefully we can get her fixed up soon, and learn how to prevent future injuries.
