Keeping busy

Hello,

A lot was going on in the last few weeks.

I was baby-sitter :). I was really proud of my task and I was doing a great job :).

My protegee was Drum. A border collie of two months, and I must say she really needed some Belgian Tervueren education :)

Petra said that I was acting more like a puppy than Drum was...but she didn` t know it was my secret method.

1. you have to hide all of your toys
2. you have to chase her around the apartment until she falls down
3. never let her eat you bones and chewing stuff - you have to remove them from her mouth immediately
3. you have to eat all the food they give you

Because is was so exact in following the upper rules I gained some weight - from 14 now I have 15 kg. Finally I`m not all bones ;).

Me and Petra started with some agility training - the slalom. They say it`s the most difficult obstacle in agility to learn, but I`m having a great time doing it.


I`m doing a little frisbee catching too :). That`s really great. I took a while for me to figure it out but now I`m catching it at the speed of light - although Petra is careful and she is throwing the frisbee in such a way that I don`t have to jump (because of my leg - you know).

Regarding my leg. Some not so great news...I need an operation. They have to take the metal plate out...probably next week already. So I will be taking some time off before I get completly well and we can forget about this nasty accident that spoiled Petra`s plans...

We started RO training again and I`m loving it. We plan to keep on with the easy training while I recover from the operation. Petra says that keeping in touch with other dogs (even if not working so seriously will help me get over the thing.

However the vet said that once the metal plate is out and the holes are OK i will be able to jump and run normally.
I really hope so.
