Another 0-fer at Hounds!

So this past weekend was supposed to be a lot of fun for me. But, it started out pretty badly for everyone's favorite F Dog. I woke up on Tuesday morning and my left eye was swollen shut. Then my face swelled up and my ears swelled up and my paws turned red. I was scratching a lot and made my eyebrow bleed. The food people took me to the vet right away. I was very scared to have the vet poking around in my eye. I was very nervous. The food lady took really good care of me though.

We left on Wednesday night for Milwaukee for a really fun 4 day agility trial. On the way up though, my ears began to swell again. The next morning when the food lady took me out to do take care of my business, I was really sick. There was blood in my poop. The food people immediately took me to a vet and he said I was having a reaction to the Rymidal. I felt awful. Everyone gave me lots of pets and hugs and told the food lady I would be OK. The food lady was very sad and cried. She hates when I don't feel good.

I didn't get to play any agility on Thursday and that made me sad. I rested up and hoped that I would be allowed to play on Friday. I wasn't feeling great on Friday so the food lady and I just had a good time.

Saturday I ran really nicely. I am still having weave pole entrance issues though. I wish the food lady could figure it out. Sunday morning before our standard run, I saw the food lady give the food man some cheese. I was really naughty and decided that the cheese was more important than playing with the food lady. She marched me right back to xpen. I am hoping I learned my lesson: I left mama, so I didn't get to play agility, no one pet me or told me how great I was and I didn't even get the cheese. Those are all things that I love. I made up for it in my last run of the weekend. I was such a good boy for my JWW run. I ran fast, I didn't knock any bars and I tried really hard in my weave poles.

Lots of my friends were there this weekend too. Abby got 4 QQ's, Remi finished his NA and his NAJ, Rumor finished his NA. Rainey was a very good girl too. Also, Scout and Zane and Wisp were all good doggies too. My friend Sheff got a QQ and Rival also tried to be a good girl.

I am still not feeling super. My ears still hurt a little. But I hope to ready for this weekend. We are going to stay with Thunder for a few days!! That means a huge yard to play in and Ryder will be entertained by Neo. Flash is going to Long Beach for the AKC Agility Invitational. So for once, the goldens will outnumber the Border Collies!!!

Our next trial is over New Year's weekend. I have heard rumors that someone else might be playing agility that weekend too. I better be a good boy or I may lose my rockstar status at our house.

Merry Christmas to everyone!!!!!
