Gotta' Love a Golden

Posted by Picasa What a great dog! She is our oldest Golden Retriever and in this photo is getting her Agility Championship, or MACH - Master Agility Championship.

The thing that is cool about her is that she is 10 years old. She would have gotten her title sooner except she is a pistol to train.

Her basic problem is that she has an agenda running that doesn't coincide with the one of the trainer, my wife. Needless to say, it was a long time coming but now that she has it, she is retired - kinda' She will probably do some more agility but in a class for retired pros call Preferred.

The bad news about her is she has a nasty ulcer in her left eye that has hung on for the past month. So now we are taking her to a specialties in Milwaukee for treatment.. As a result she had a simple operation where they scratched the eye in a cross-hatch to stimulate the healing - I hope it works,.If not, we will have to have it cut out.
So now she has to wear the E-collar for two weeks - it isn't too bad to see her struggle around the house when you think about the alternative.
