Blink

22/05/2025

Once again, the Blinkman stuns everyone! My recheck MRI says the suspected nerve sheath tumor is no longer there - no idea what did cause all that pain & lameness but thanks to Kate's great care (& maybe some good drugs), I have been painfree & back to normal.
Feel free to send food & toys to celebrate my recovery :) Ha ha - just kidding!

So, you may have heard things are going to be a tad rough for the Blinkman. A nerve sheath tumor has been found that is causing me a lot of pain in my right front leg. Luckily Kate is on top of this & with some help from a nice neurologist & an acupuncturist I am currently on lots of great meds & feeling better.

Some dogs need to live a long time in an attempt to be special (think of some of those nasty little dogs who live to 18+ & never achieve anything!). Others, like me are exceptional right from early on.

Starting out at Coyote Run South, with Deb, I attained great honors. I earned my TD having to swim Lake Champlain (Deb edit here - there were a couple puddles, no lake involved). I was a superb herding star, including RHIT at a trial with at least a thousand runs (Deb edit - not quite that many, but a big Northeast trial nonetheless).

My breed CH required the help of a few friends like Janet O & Mary C. Rumors of me "melting" on the exam table are just that - rumors. The sort of thing that follows every super star.

I taught Deb to watch for ears doing barn hunt & earned my barn hunt CH. That training is now helping Deb with Ms Mac!

It wasn't easy, but between Kate & Deb I managed to keep them in line to earn my CD. I am so versatile I did rally with both of them.

I moved to Coyote Run North when it became evident that the house down south wasn't big enough for two amazing dogs like Doc & me. Kate has been my agility partner & she wasn't half bad. Kate managed to hold it together to earn my Masters in rally.

I have been a superb companion to Lynah & have done my best to be a good influence on Bruni - not easy at times!!!

I am the "good dog" who does duck chores. I learned to paddleboard & have even done a bit of swimming! so, ha ha!, "Blink Sinks" doesn't fit any more!

I have trained up Mike to be a pretty good Corgi slave. He was actually a pretty quick study. His whole family plus all the staff where Kate works basically worship me - deservedly, of course.

So, the story isn't over yet, my friends. Corgi Strong, Corgi Tough!

Today sucked. First Kate gave me my Adequan injection, right in the butt! Then she took me to work, where she poked me twice more with a vaccine and to exsanguinate me! Final insult? She FORGOT ME when she left!!!

Please send cookies. There is only so much a Corgi can take.

Blinkman to the rescue! Kate was trying to herd the ducks with Lynah, and managed to get the ducks stuck under our bushes. Naturally she called on me to save the ducks and get them back to their pen.

Oh man - this is what happens when you aren't the baby of the family anymore! I do hope Kate gets her act together tonight for my birthday!

Went to work with Kate today and got to be the office therapy Corgi for the day (the receptionists showed me where the treats are stashed!). I am negative for heartworm and tick diseases according to Kate - I could have just told her that if she had asked me instead of stabbing my leg with a needle! Rude! I also got my bordetella vaccine and helped one of the receptionists/assistants learn how to dremel nails.

Took my ducks for a walkabout today! It was hard - they are very used to their habit of going back and forth to their shed. And a couple of them are pretty slow. But I got them off their usual path and we circled the garage! It was fun!

Today was my first CPE agility trial and I was awesome. I got 1st place in all three of my classes, though I didn't qualify in Jackpot because Kate can't count or something. It's ok, I still like her.

I had a lot of fun at our agility lesson tonight! Last week was waaaaayyyy too hot!

Found out why the people have been cleaning like crazy - we have company again! This has been the best summer ever!

I have been learning about paddle boards this summer! At first I thought Kate had lost her mind, but I’m getting the hang of it. Just another way to reach my fans out about town!
