Flyball

We have been learning to play flyball, particularly learning how to turn on the box.  This is our first full run without netting

Grumpy

Shortly after getting rid of the cone Molly started to get really grumpy especially with other dogs - especially Chance :(

A blood test suggested this was pancreatitis flaring up so I tried to modify diet to make it even more low fat but she was still very grumpy and not her normal self at all.

More blood tests revealed SIBO and very low B12 so she had a month of antiobiotics and lots of B12 injections.  Thankfully this worked pretty quickly and I soon had my happy girl back :)

Cone of Shame

For some reason after a walk Molly started to lick her leg obsessively and as ever with Molly it became a problem.

The following day she had managed to make it really sore looking and would not leave it alone so we ended up at the pet shop as soon as it opened to buy a cone.  Several frustrating weeks where I tried a variety of shirts and more comfy cones to protect her leg and she defeated everything but the proper cone so ended up wearing it constantly for a while!

Her pancreatitis ruled out using steroids or metacam but thankfully eventually things resolved and she could be trusted without the cone.

5th birthday

It is Mollys 5th birthday today.  She would probably prefer a muddy run around the fields - but she hurt her eye yesterday so I would rather be more cautious and we have done some training and put it together into a video.

The video is not perfect - but I love her happy tail and enthusiasm.

Clicker fun

Molly likes to do her physio exercises - she usually balances the wobble board with her front legs but decided to try with her back legs this time

Chance meanwhile is learning to roll out a rug - I am sure Molly will take full advantage when it is rolled out.

Agility

Chance and I are making a serious attempt at agility now.  We have had another one to one session and have lots of homework and I was lucky enough to find a few jumps for sale at a reasonable price.

One of us is really quite good - and the other one needs to work out what they are doing with arms and legs and which direction we should be going in!!

Self control

Another of Molls slightly bouncy moments is when putting the lead on - so we had a short self control session to try and get this under control - not bad for her first try.
