"She makes Torsten look good"

The title from today's post is a quote from Nola. We loaded up tonight and Monty got to visit one of her favorite people and all her friends at agility class. Monty actually did some of the training obstacles and was very confident. She was able to do a small jump, a walk-it, a teeter, the tunnel and the sit table. The weave poles were a bit challenging, but she never did like the weave poles, so it's no biggie. She was so happy to be out there, it was very obvious! As you can see in the tunnel picture, she is able to get around really quickly!





Before taking her to see Nola, we took her for a walk to the park. She was sporting her new red Ruff Wear harness and had a lot of fun. She was running all over, so we were resting with her on the grass when she decided to play with Torsten. One of Monty's cool "tricks" is that she can play very aggressively and then when you tell her "okay," she turns it off immediately. She loves to wrestle and jump around and is always excited by her leash!

I forgot to post yesterday, but Monty saw Dr. Stramm and Dr. Stevens. Both thought she looked really good and she's going to go back in 3 weeks. Dr. Stramm did a little acupuncture on her back and also did this treatment on her immunity points. To do this, she withdrew blood and then injected her blood back into those points. It was weird! She explained that her immune system would "attack" the injected blood, but since it was her own, it wouldn't cause any harm, just give her immune system a good jolt. I'm probably not explaining that quite right, but it was pretty interesting. Dr. Stramm had just attended a conference on Bone Cancer in dogs and told me that there were really good results with giving them high levels of fish oil. We already have her on 1000 mg of fish oil but are going to up it to 2000 mg.

I think that's all to report for today. I did want to include a couple of current pictures of her incision site. It's all healed up and her fur is growing back nicely. Most likely, there won't be a lot to report for tomorrow as Montana will probably be wiped out from all of today's activities. She'll probably fight Melvin for her pillow all day!
