Animals!

Chey has been having some little issues lately. Sometimes she seems like she's having bladder issues, but I've run her to the vet a couple of times, and they say there's nothing that the can find (ran urine sample, palpated for stones and the like). Still, sometimes it seems like she's trying to go and can't. I opted to add some celery to her food (it's a natural diuretic), and give her a cranberry supplement 2x a day. Her favorite is the plain yogurt I've been adding, but it really doesn't appeal to me at all! It seems to be improving her situation though, but at her age, it still makes me nervous. She may not look 11 years old, but she is. I'm hoping nothing more serious develops, she's such an 'easy' dog to live with (compared to the other two anyway).

Side note, the Collie puppy has grown and is a sweet, but hard headed boy. Hormones seem to be coming into play, but hopefully, we'll stay on top of him enough that it won't be too dramatic of an issue. Conformation training for the show ring is really different, but it's fun and I'm learning a lot from the not so little wild man!

Chip is improving slightly on his regular obedience. I still hope to get his CD this year. Friends I trust tell me he'll be fine, but I'm still not so confident or sure. They can make you crazy (or crazier)...
