Peanut wins!

Peanut won 3 ribbons today at the Flyball tournament! The first ribbon was for Flyball dog 20 points. The second was for receiving 100 points for the title of Flyball dog excellent! The dogs earn points by how fast the team runs in each heat. If the team runs under 25 seconds each dog earns 25 points, 28 seconds each dog earns 5 points, 32 seconds each dog earns 1. Peanuts 3rd ribbon was for being a rescue dog, the judges picked a few of their favorite rescue dogs that ran. I was disappointed there weren't more rescue dogs there.

Fetch n Fly Flyball Tournament

Peanut and Big Peanut~ Both rescues they look so much alike!

Peanut was in her first official Flyball tournament this weekend in Henrietta. It was a small tournament but it was still loud enough for me! All those dogs in one place can get pretty crazy.

Finally off of Pred!

Peanut is finally off of Prednisone!! She has fully recovered from the steroid responsive small white dog shaking syndrome. She does still however have some of the side effects lingering from the steroids. We have three dogs total and Peanut has always been top dog. With the steroids she started resource guarding. Specifically guarding me and food. I had a trainer come to the house that I've worked with before and trust. One of the big changes we have to make is keeping Peanut off of the furniture and off of my lap. She also suggested a few exercises to practice with all of the dogs, only giving her bones in her crate, and increasing Peanut's exercise. Since summer has come early in Rochester I've been walking Peanut every single night. She is slowly improving but it is taking time.
