It has been a while.....but...

I know, been a few months since I blogged....my fault.  But...i write when I feel inspired, and this weekend I felt inspired. 
Tangy has been diagnosed with immune mediated poly arthritis.  Basically, her joints are being attacked by her body.  Without pred she is swollen and has trouble walking.  I am doing everything I can for her, and now bringing her to an autoimmune specialist vet.  I miss running her.  I miss training her.  There are so many things I now can say I take for granted.  I would give anything for a smooth run with a knocked bar now.  To watch her in pain and not be able to do what she loves the most kills me. 

Was at the springfield cluster this weekend where Rev (Tang's daughter) earned her NA with all firsts.  I am so proud.  She has been such a work in progress, nothing like her mother in work ethic.  Fast and a much betetr jumper but not serious.  She put her working cap on this weekend and got it done.  After 1 of my runs someone came up to me and said, "that is a Tang daughter, correct??"  Love that.  Another person asked where I got her from.  That is what people used to say when I ran Tang.  Yeah....Rev is looking like the dog I know she can be!

Then there is Kazi.  SHe came out of retirement to run as she is going to the agility invitational in 2 weeks.  She went 3 for 6 with most minor mistakes.  I am so proud of her at 9 years old to run like this.  She was diagnosed with her heart murmur over 3 years ago and is still running strong.  No, I don't run her much lately but she is happy to do whatever is asked of her.  As long as it is her idea...she is a chin first and foremost.  Here she is in the motorhome with Aijou waiting for her dinner.

 

And baby Hype!  He has a blast meeting his family.  Daddy Rush and brothers Bolt and Frisco.  What a crue.  And after watching all of them run, we have lots of training to do, and I am so excited to do it with him.  That pup makes me smile everyday.

So that was my thanksgiving weekend.  Shawn came to cheer us on and we had a wonderful weekend.  I am thankful I have lots of dogs (12!) to love and be loved by.  I have been blessed to be able to run them in agility and have wonderful wins and just as wonderful misses.  Life is good.  I have my home and my friends.  what more can I ask for....maybe the 500million megga millions tonight?
