So it really has been a while since I have sat down to write a blog entry. Obviously the world has changed quite a lot during that time and so all our plans for the racing season, all our plans for training Raven have gone out the window. For the…

It is hard to believe that it is a year on from Raven's spinal op. Don't get me wrong it hasn't all be easy going and she still isn't 'normal' in fact we have the physio coming out to see her tomorrow but all in all.... she has a pretty…

Paul chilling with the dogs behind the stand at KCI So we are 7 months post spinal surgery. We have just got back from the Kennel Club International Agility Festival. It was interesting compared to normal being that the random weather meant that two days were cancelled but the two…

We always try and get the dogs to the beach when they are puppies. It is a big vast open area which blows their minds a bit. Dill had several trips during puppyhood that nearly ended up with him going back to the breeder! So we really wanted to get…

So Raven is doing well. She is starting to get some muscle mass and is getting fitter every day. We have to watch that she doesn't do too much as she can easily over do it. It's the struggle of having a 9 month old that has the fitness of…

Four months post op and our little puppy was at the National Dog Show for her first show. Showing is something I don't take seriously, I don't think I ever could for so many reasons but it is good for pups. I showed Dill, only I think three shows in…

Imagine spending all your life restricted, not being allowed to do anything. You don't spend much time outside and when you do you are restricted. You want to go run around with your friends but you aren't allowed. You have to watch though all you want is to be running…

Three Months on…

Three months since she had the op. Can't believe that it's been that long. It seems like forever ago whilst also being so recent too. Since the physio came we have seen some serious improvements in her. Her 'wonky' leg is straghtening up, it still has the odd moment when…

So... we saw the physio last week. She was also impressed by how well Raven moved and that was even after I told her that she seemed to move better than anyone expected. So that was good news. Raven felt good around her surgery site, there was no heat or…

So Raven turns 6 months old tomorrow. Time is going quite quickly though also not really going quick enough. She is still going to work with Paul, mostly because she is screaming if we try and leave her in her crate home alone, even with the other dogs about. I…
