Much Better Now

Kearney - Although I got better all day long, TM took me to see the chiropractor.  While she waited for him to see me, she massaged my neck and back.  I got 25 minutes of massage.  YUM!  When the Dr. came out, he watched me move, then I went back onto the table where he started adjusting me.  I was out all up my spine, from the croup on.  When he finished he had TM move me again.  WOW, I felt so good.  My reach and drive was smoother and longer-strided.  Everything moved like it was supposed to.  Then they put me back on the table and made a few more adjustments.  I am able to run again.  I am still guarding my back a bit, but with more massage, I will be better than I was.

TM and the chiropractor discussed what had happened overnight.  The doctor did not think it was caused by my back.  My recovery was too fast (before he even got to touch me).  He thinks I had an inflammatory response (allergic) to something.  He liked that I am on a raw diet, but couldn't offer much more.  MP had suggested an allergic response earlier in the day.  TM is going to document everything she can think of that happened so they can maybe figure it out if I ever do this again.  All I can say is that I feel pretty good tonight.

Scary Day

Kearney - no show for us.  I had a bad night and scary day.  When TM let us out this morning, I could barely move.  She was very gentle and helped me out, but I didn't want to even stand up.  All my legs were involved, but one front and one rear in particular.  TM put me on the table and massaged me.  Ohhhhh, that felt good.  She kept Lowri away from me and just let me rest.  Of course, I ate my breakfast.  I am a Corgi after all!

Apparently I did this once before, right after my brother, Angus, died from lymphoma.  TM doesn't remember it, but MC does.  She told TM all about it.   I don't understand how human minds work.  MC wasn't here and she remembers it all, TM helped me then and doesn't remember it at all.  She tries to remember, but just starts to cry.

Anyway, there was nothing to be found last time.  TM gave me a Rimadyl and did lots of massage.  We go see the chiropractor in about an hour.  I am feeling much better already and can move around pretty good.  MC is going to the show by herself with Chase and Treasure.  I sure wish I could go.

Lowri - TM went to MC's to give her back all the show equipment and brought Monroe home with her.  WOW!  Monroe is famous!  She won Best Red Bitch at the Megan a few years ago AND also is an Award of Merit winner at the Nationals.  I want to be like her!  TM and MC both say she is a princess - I don't think it is the Xena type.  I am going to try to find out what she does so I can be famous too.

I was a little upset this morning with all the fuss with Kearney.  I am so glad he is feeling better.  I love him!

Day Before Leaving for a Show

Kearney - We are going to a show tomorrow.  I get to be in it.  I know 'cause TM gave me a bath.  I feel all nice and clean - and not very smelly at all!  I can't wait.  It is fun going with TM and MC. 

Lowri - TM mowed the lawn today.  Kearney and I both got to run around like crazy.  I was Xena, Warrior Princess.  I chased him and stalked him.  When he wasn't looking, I tackled him.  It was great!  Then TM called us in and gave Kearney a bath.  I went over to the tub and put my very green feet up on the tub so I could see.  TM just laughed at me, but I didn't get a bath.  I watched for quite a while to see what she does.

After she dried Kearney off with a towel, she put him in his crate.  I got put on the table and was fed a hotdog.  I LOVE being on the table.  TM cured my peds while I was up there.  I didn't like that very much, but I am a delicate princess (when I am not Xena).  We princesses need to have our peds cured on a regular basis.  I got more hotdog afterwards.  It is good being me.

Lazy Wednesday

Lowri - I didn't get to be Xena, Warrior Princess yesterday.  Instead, Papa Ron came over and we watched TV in the sitting room.  I got to chill out on the sofa with TM and PR.  Sometimes Aidan sat with us.  He sits ON PR's lap.  That looks silly, he is a great big dog!  When we would go outside, Aidan would make a beeline for MY ducks.  He would bark and bark at them.  I don't think he has good guest manners. 

Kearney - Daisy came over too.  She as been chasing me around doing rude things to me.  TM says her hormones are up probably because she is sick.  PR took her to the vet yesterday and got her some pills.  I hope they fix her, 'cause it is embarrassing!  I mean really, she isn't even a girl anymore.  PR had her spayed.  I was going to say she was fixed, but right now, she is broken!

Herding on Sunday

Lowri - Here is another picture of me herding on Sunday.  If you look closely at my feet, you will see that I am mud up to my armpits.  The round pen has wet weather spring runoff going through the middle of it.  It is really, really muddy.   You can't be a princess if you are going to be herding!  Unless you are Xena, Warrior Princess, as my friend, Renee, says.  I think that should be my new name.  Xena...yes, it sounds like me.  I think I could have good adventures as Xena, the Warrior Princess.

Kearney - Oh goody, now we have to deal with a warrior princess.  I bet I can still win the game of "roll Lowri in the grass."  In fact, it rained today and I definitely won that game.  The Warrior Princess was the Wet, Bedraggled Serf (snicker).

Kearney on Lambs

Kearney - Finally another picture of me. I was learning to hold the lambs on a straight fence on Sunday. TM insisted that I stay back and hold them from a distance. This picture proves that I CAN.  I made them stay right there on that fenceline.  TM would make them move around, but I held them right there.  It was fun.

Lowri - TM told Kearney that he was awesome.  He has been working so hard on learning how to do the advanced work.  I want to be a good herding dog like him when I grow up.

I can herd

Lowri - I got to herd AGAIN!  Mama Cheryl took video of me.  I had so much fun.
