Update and Some Pix

Sorry Josette and I have neglected our blog. There really is no good excuse, just haven't felt like it I guess.

I have been on rest for almost a whole month now. I must have injured myself, although Mom and I can't figure out when. Every time I lay down, I find it hard to get back up. My back right leg gets stuck in a funny position and I have to limp around for a while to make it straighten out. Even after it does, it's still a little painful so I try not to put all my weight on it. Mom took me to the vet who gave me all this icky medicine to take. YUCK! Luckily I convinced Mom to stop "pilling" me and to mix it in my food, so I do a lot better now. We were all hoping the meds would fix me right up, but that hasn't been the case. Mom made an appointment with a special vet who may be able to fix me up. Mom warned me that it might hurt a lot at first, but if I'm brave and a good girl I will get through it just fine. I sure hope so because now I'm really nervous.

The good news is that Mom is moving home for good soon! It's been a tough year on Josette and I. Grandma and Grandpa are so good to us, but we will be happy to have Mom back full time! Her visits are nice, but we always get sad when she leaves us again. At least she will be here when the special doctor fixes my leg. I think it will be one of those times when a girl needs her mom.

The little brat, Fay, has taken over my agility classes until we figure out my leg. Mom tells her she is awesome, but she secretly told me that she doesn't hold a candle to me!

Josette has had to take my place in our daily walks, which she despises. We've become pretty close this last year, so I try to help her out but she is very scared of the traffic. Mom took her to this pedestrian bridge and Josette really had a good time. You see, it is over water so there are no cars nearby. Josette told me it was the best walk she has had in a really long time!


She also enjoys quiet walks in the woods, but sometimes she can still hear cars and she gets nervous. She takes a pretty Fall picture, though!



Right after I hurt my leg, my agility school had a big Halloween party. Mom said we were not going to miss it, since we had already custom tailored my costume, so we went but I had to take it easy. I didn't win the costume contest, but I did awesome in the bobbing for hot dogs game! I won a squeaky plush fish, which I love to hold in my mouth and roll in the grass with! I also won a squeaky black cat, but Fay stole it from me. (Don't tell her, but I didn't really like it anyway!)



Speaking of Miss Fay, she had to go to GEB for her yearly shots and Mom took me along for the ride. At first I was afraid that she was taking me back because my leg was busted, but she assured me that I wasn't going anywhere! I did see a lot of my old trainer friends and did my best Irie-wiggle for them. It sure was a nice visit, but I was glad to go home with Mom.

As I'm sure you all know, the holidays are coming up. For Thanksgiving the family is going away. They can't take all of us, so Fay and Josette are staying behind with sitters. Indiana and I get to go along to visit Aunt Wendy, Joey, and Chandler! I wonder if Mom will sneak us a little turkey??? I don't think we have any plans for Christmas, but I heard Mom ordering presents the other day. She's being quiet about it, but I just know I'm going to get something awesome. I always do!
