Sadie waiting for her turn on the dock….
Well Sadie’s weekend at Door County fair isn’t turning out as planned. She got “limp tail” (I have witnesses) yesterday so I pulled her from her last wave. This morning I went back up to scratch her waves & pick up my canopy, etc. I get home & this is what I see…. Fastest limp tail recovery I’ve ever heard of. That’s my Crazy Sadie!
First dockdiving event outside is always Bergstrom Subaru Loves Dogs, with DockDogs. Its fun, its great to see many friends, its nice to see new people getting started. The weather was bee-u-t-full by the way. Sadie didn’t do all that great but as I’m reminded, “she’s just coming back from injured reserve.” At least she had a Speed Retriieve time in her division. Next week… a NADD event!
Three videos of working in rehab!
Somedog went to rehab & went in the underwater treadmill for the first time. She didn’t understand 1) Why can’t I jump in? 2) Why is it so small? 3) Why is the floor moving? 4) Why is the water only halfway up my legs? 5) Why can’t I swim? BUT, peanutbutter during laser & when I do other things is GREAT! Mom…. When do we go back?
While Sadie is on restrictive activity, “No Wake Lexi” takes over at the pool.
Sadie already has the recommended straight line running down!
Backyard play on Sadie’s 6th Birthday...🎈Sadie gets to swim tomorrow!!
...and this is how it all started. Very first time ever in water, 4mos. old!
Well, crappy weather, two days, four fast CAT runs & only one time on the books this weekend. The first run she noticed the grouping of people but finished her run. Three times down Sadie saw the group of timers & admin people next to the fence & decided... “Oh, NO! They aren’t going to catch me & take me off my fun time on the course!” She does a turn-around & races back to the start, to the line where the lures come back.... they will come back to her, after all! (She’s NEVER done this in the past). Sometimes its soo frustrating to have a dog that really thinks.
At the end of day one, after Air Retrieve Sadie volunteered to pick up the bumpers..... she just had a hard time putting them away!
Sadie’s video is in slow motion, wait for her!
