Good News


So this week we've actually had some good things out the way and just some general good news. Rommys back is finally better! YAY! The whole thing has been going on since November and he hasnt done any proper training since October! It has been a very long time and I have been working really hard with him and he seems to finally have worked :). Cant wait to get him back out there, with any luck the break will have done his brain good. We've done a lot of heelwork in the meantime which have already really helped his focus so we've definitely got some positives out of such a long injury! The other good thing is I finally got his second measure done. We went with Rhoda and Dolly over the weekend and they both measured medium :). Apart from all that Rommy has absolutely loved all the snow we've had, spends most of his time eating it and trying running around like a crazy thing. We went for some very nice walks with friends even though Rommys legs did snowball really badly he still loved it. 


with all the snow and ice we did some of trick training, I decided to try and teach him to get into a suitcase.He was a bit confused what the hell I was trying to get him to do to begin with but he actually loves getting in or on things so he picked it up really quickly in the end :). Managed to get a video of it thanks to Hazel. 


One other thing I've decided to work on is retraining Rommys A frame to a running contact. With all the back problems hes had over the last few months I felt it would be better for him, so they're should be a few videos to put on here in the next few weeks. Heres a quick video of his second go at running on a plank, the plank isnt very long and Im working on getting a long bit of carpet at the moment :)

Horrible weekend

We had pretty horrible weekend to be honest. Our lovely Lily cat passed away saturday evening. We love and miss her very much, the house is not the same without her there. There will never be a cat quite like her.

The good and The bad

Hello, so I hope if anyone's reading this that your having a good 2013 so far and it's bringing lots of good things to you :). So far as far as Mr Rommy is concerned its good and bad. His rib injury is fingers crossed all better now but bad that hes still got a few little tweaks to clear up. Although I am very pleased that he is very nearly there and we've got a lot of fun strengthening things to do. 

I am very excited about this year of shows and training, a lot to look forward to! Lots of work to get him back into agility and also decided it would be best for Rommy to retrain his aframe so fingers crossed that isn't too bad! So hopefully ill have a few training videos to put up in the next few weeks. 

And just because he's very cute here's a picture of rommy having a nap with his fave Christmas toy!
