Well not a REAL snow day but I have the day off and nothing planned and Izzie was being a total ass so I though I'd take her out to play for a bit at the park.
She also could be a Ruffwear model. The coat fits as if it were made for her and she doesn't even really care that she's wearing the boots, I love this company. If only they'd ship to Canada. Sigh.
Anywho, enjoy some photos because I'm too lazy to actually write any more words haha.
Izzie and I would like to wish you all happy holidays! Hopefully it's not as stupidly cold outside where you are.
Izzie is feeling good. No sign of a limp anymore and she's super feisty. She had a massage last night with the wonderful Sarah and she gave us the okay to do a little more. Izzie can now do some short walks and peanut ball exercises and lots of stretching. Yay exercise!
So we started on that today. We went for a 10 minute walk around a local green strip, then we did some doggy yoga. I'm luring it but also rewarding the behaviours in hope that I can name them have her be able to do some stretching on cue. Regardless her little Puggy downward dog is adorable and I have an excuse to drag out the lululemon yoga mat that's been gathering dust in my closet, it adds a little padding for her on my floor.
Anyway, recovery is exciting and I'm loving working with my dog. It'll be a learning experience getting her conditioned, slow but we'll make it fun.
Izzie is feeling much better. No sign of any soreness or anything. She's back to normal.
Oh yeah I didn't mention it on here. Umm well, she started limping on Saturday at the trial after a couple runs. So I pulled her. We didn't think then, and still don't think now, that it's FROM agility itself but from overdoing it last week on our activities. No heat was coming off her tricep but it was tight and sore, like from after a hard work out. So she's been on rest.
I'll be letting her rest for the rest of the weekend and we'll get back at some exercise and training next week. Haven't decided the exact plan but we'll be taking it slower for sure on the walking distances.
It's given me a lot to think about. This is her first injury ever and it's not really even an injury but it still scared the hell out of me. I don't want my dog to be broken.
I lied.
No substantial blog post today. I don't feel like talking much about the weekend yet. I'd much rather dive into the candy I bought on the way home.
Maybe later this week. There's still lots to ponder.
... And I think it's screwing with my blogging thoughts. So here's a photo of Izzie instead. I should have something of substance up on Monday.
