Lucie

I talked to Dr. Johnson today and he said that all of her blood work looks good! Everything is at normal levels. Big relief! He basically said to keep an eye on her and check in with him on Thursday or Friday.

Lucie had training tonight with Matt. She is the smartest and sweetest dog EVER! Seriously though, she is a natural. They worked on heeling, sit and started down for the first time. She catches on real quick and was rewarded with belly rubs for a good down. She LOVED that! Dr. Johnson had asked me at the end of the lesson to ask Matt if he noticed anything different in how she was acting. Matt said he noticed that she was lagging behind a bit during heels and that when she would go into a down that she would favor one side. I noticed near the end of the lesson that it took more effort for her to get up from a down. Then while I was petting her ears I noticed the lump on her right ear that was losing some skin seemed much harder than it had previously been. When we got home I took a look at it as best I could, she doesn't like me messing with the lumps. It looked a little discolored. I'll keep an eye on it.

Right now all three girls are enjoying their own Nylabone. Switching every so often and enjoying themselves.

  2. We were wondering how the tests came out. That is all good news. But you know your pups well, just keep an eye on things, maybe she pulled a ligament or something. Hope she is back to 100% soon.

  11. I glad for Lucie's blood works being good but worried about her lumpy.
    Does the trainer train you or train Lucie himself?
