What would you do with my Mum? Right up until Monday she was limping and our Mistress was worried about her leg. Even at the show on Sunday it was obvious that she was limping and standing in a weird way. Then all of a sudden since she\u2019s been home it has got much better and now she\u2019s barely limping at all. She is even jumping into the car and not asking for the ramp, which after two months of struggling is an amazing turnaround. She\u2019s had some nice long walks again and even went for a run on Thursday. She was a bit tired from being out of condition but suffered no other ill effects. Now she\u2019s working on getting her fitness back in time to mate. She\u2019s started reducing her pain killers so hopefully that won\u2019t lead to any flare up. What a shame she wasn\u2019t better a week sooner so she would have looked better at the show. I said that to our Mistress, but she very gently explained that our mum isn\u2019t really a show quality dog and despite her lovely smile she was never really likely to do well. Isn\u2019t it odd how she\u2019s managed to have such good looking children?<\/p>\n
One really exciting thing that I\u2019m looking forward to is that we have been asked to test a new tracking device that we wear on our collar and Alfie says I can do the testing. It means I will actually have my own mobile phone number so you can call me. I can\u2019t promise to answer if I\u2019m in the middle of something important, but it\u2019s very exciting. I shall do a full review for you when I\u2019ve had chance to try it out and see what it can do and how much it costs to run. Apparently the battery lasts for 880 hours. I\u2019ve not worked out exactly how many days that is, I ran out of toes, but it\u2019s quite a lot!<\/p>\n
