It is way harder to keep up with a blog then you would think! I just have so much to do everyday there is NO time at night to write about it. Well the last few weeks have been very busy, working 6 plus days a week is good money but shitty free time.

So eme has been progressing nicely. We work tug and retrieve daily as well as hikes almost every day. We went swimming and trained tuesday at the “unofficial” dog park. She worked 3 short run aways including one where Pat was hiding in a tree! She worked very good, played tug with her toy afterward and made me proud!

Bo has been working on his play drive. We will most likely break out the HRD next week depending on how he does.  He goes crazy for the tug rag and will play and engage for awhile. He will also search it out if i throw it and hide it in the backyard. He will search for a minute or more till he has sniffed it out! Now of course i hope we can transition that to other places and keep the toy high on his list!

Valentine is doing well, pissed as hell at me for still being in a crate but oh well. Olive is getting older by the minute and it kills me. We are changing her meds around in hopes that it will help her hips but we are in a downward spiral and i must come to grips with it.

Team training saturday, will hopefully have a post and pictures up after!

I week post injury and miss eme is actually doing pretty well! The crate rest is a bitch, and well mom is pretty bad at it i try instead to just hold the 30 pound puppy and keep her quite, hahaha doesn’t work well huh!! Yesterday we did some tugging in the backyard, nothing to hard she just sat in the same place and we worked on getting a nice good full grip. She is great she will not let go first and she loves her new squeeky bumper from elitek9! She is so full of energy., not going for a hike this last week has taken its toll on her. Shes so funny to because when i let her out of her crate she comes flying at my pants and attempts to rip them off she is so pissed off at me for being in her crate for so long! Another week or so and i hope that we can hit the ground running again.  She hates being separated from her brothers and sisters and just wants to puppy rough house!!!

My poor girl is going to Colonial tomorrow morning to meet with a Board certified Orthopedic surgeon to look at her right rear leg and tell me what he thinks. Fingers crossed we are not looking at major surgery, anterior cruciate ligament tear, or worse. I hope the xrays show nothing major and we just need to cage rest with meds for a few weeks. Of course keeping her quite is impossible the poor girl doesn’t understand why we are not hiking, swimming, training, and playing ball. I’m a seriously distraught mom.
