Woof in Boots

Dazzle blistered and then cut open her pads while practicing agility the other day. Poor thing. I knew full well that keeping her inside until she was fully healed was not an option so off to PetsMart we went to pick up some booties.

She actually doesn't seem to mind them at all, as long as she got to keep playing!

If anything, I think she was playing harder than usual.


Now, overshooting the ball is normal - but to do it every single time? Good grief girl, slow down!

It looks like she managed to get this one right? Nope. She just couldn't quite slam on the breaks fast enough.

This one?

It ended in her doing something resembling a summersault....and still missing the ball. .
.

Despite the impressive air display on this attempt she was, yet again, a little over the top:


Surely you can guess by now, but in case you still need help - no. she did not catch this one either.



Then, right as I was beginning to loose all hope, she made a catch. :)

And boy was she proud of herself!



With that catch, we decided to quit while we were ahead and turn back to home.

Better luck next time!

Wow, I hope Daz is okay with those paws! I have a blog too. I don't really have many photos just yet, but I'm working on it. Nat has a blog here too. Mine is way2run.blogspot.com and Nat's is dreamdogz.blogspot.com. Keep in Touch!

You and Dazzle make a great team. My golden " Bailey " are still on leash and we placed 4th at a 4-H agility dog show and we got 15 faults, but he still did good. It must be fun to do agility off leash with a border collie. I love border collies!!
