Crazy Spring

Well lots to update on. First, on Tuesday we almost lost Lola. She wasnt in season but was dripping, we were very worried so took her straight down the vets. She'd been acting weird a while, we thought it was just her missing Max, but once this happened we knew it was more than that. In the end she ended up having a womb infection, and has not only been spayed but had her whole womb removed. We were very lucky, we could have lost her. She had to stay overnight, and that was awful, we had gone from 6 dogs down to 2 in a few weeks. But shes on the road to recovery now, shes not allowed to jump, run or anything, and she definantly disagrees with that =]. Were having a hard job stopping her jumping on the sofas, jumping at us when we come in and coming upstairs. Yeah, she sure does love to jump! But at least it shows shes happy and not letting it stop her. She is finally starting to act back to her normal Lola-self, and its great to see =].
Indi's doing great. He is now almost 100% trustworthy around small dogs. He still barks initially, and is very boisterous but is now no longer aggressive at all. I also did lots of training around the bigger dogs using treats, and it worked brilliantly! Before, he would just completely ignore treats on walks and around other dogs so this is an amazing improvement! He really is getting so much better and it really is starting to show!
Well we have a tonne of new tricks to show. Our main one is a hug trick, where Indi actually hugs Ernie =]. Its very cute! Indi has also got an absolutely amazing weave using the fence, its fantastic! He goes right ahead and I cant keep up with him! Other good news:- we may also be starting real agility soon as my nans trying to get us into agility class! =D.
So, now things are finally returning to normal. So for now, here are some pics taken down the beach today and Lola, the day after her op. Looking very sad. Poor girlie!
