Sony and I have a lot going on since last post. after another visit with Melanie She has started a little bit of jumping. and she is allowed to do the DW and Teeter. the jumping she has only done a few times, but seems to be doing well. it is just a low jump grid to help her use her hind end. I was in PA last weekend and she got to do a nice little hike in the feilds with Mary Ellen and her 3 dogs. what a blast that was !!!
yesterday she was not jumping very well and I could not figure out why, obviously something was bothering her but It was not her knee, she never limped , even after rest. I gave her some medicam with dinner. I later went to melanies Class and after I brought Sony out just to visit and finaly noticed some heat in her back. it would explain her funny jumping.
So today instead of jumping work I took her for a walk on the rail trail. I kept a close eye on her and she seemed ok, (remeber I gave her some medicam last night:)) so or walk ended up to be 6mi! not until the last mile or so did she appear to be tired. I did fine some water on the way for her to lay in a cool off. the trail was a bit more busy that it has been when we walk but Sony was an angel. I was able to keep her off leash and just made her lie down when people and bikes were passing. she is so good she could really care less about chaseing them. I noticed her gait not being totaly normal near the end as she got tired so tom I have to work half a day for Kelly so I will bring her to the office and Have Dr Couret adjust her for me so she can go back to jump work. Her fitness is getting better but she still lacks the muscle for jumping so we will keep up with the grids to help her. I might have to get her adjusted a bit more often as she comes back until she gets the musce to hold everything in place. we are home this weekend so I hope to continue with Sony's grids and do some more training with the yong girls.
Although I am not trialing as much as usual I am really enjoying working the girls. its like having 3 dogs to train !!!
