We\u2019ve had the full report on Shadow\u2019s back and leg and it seems to be all good news. She doesn\u2019t have a slipped disk or any other structural problem. What she does have is an enlarged nerve root and a suspected but unidentified soft tissue injury. Of course that doesn\u2019t mean she is feeling any better, but to our Mistress\u2019s relief it does look as though it is not going to be a long term problem, as long as she is careful and it should mean she is fine to have another litter of puppies. Our Mistress found herself feeling much more optimistic as a result of that as I think she\u2019s been getting a bit broody. Anyway, given that Shadow is still on restricted exercise she\u2019s not as happy as we would like but we\u2019re trying to cheer her up and encourage her that it won\u2019t be forever as long as she\u2019s careful. She\u2019s asked if she could try swimming and our Mistress is going to find out for her. She\u2019s been to watch me and Aristotle a couple of times and said she was quite tempted to get in then. She thinks she might be a bit nervous on her first time, but having seen me overcoming my fears does make it much easier for her, which I thought was a nice thing for her to say. It probably means that she will be the one to go on the trip to the Dutch Club\u2019s 40th<\/sup> anniversary show as she can take part. It would be her first show, but she says s she\u2019d like to give it a go. I guess if she\u2019s still limping then she will be marked down for that, but we\u2019ll wait and see. I don\u2019t really mind her going as I went last year. I\u2019ll just stay at home and look after Aristotle \u2013 although you\u2019d think now that he was big enough to look after himself.<\/p>\n
