Ocala Shows

We showed in Ocala Friday and Saturday. Second in his class Friday (2 dogs) and first Saturday (only dog) but nothing else. He injured himself last weekend and was on crate rest/leash walks all week. His movement was still a little choppy and short up front. The most important thing is that he had a wonderful time, loved on everyone he met and took all the new experiences (a hotel stay, elevators, stairs, sleeping in bed with me) in stride. I even got some comments on how absolutely wonderful his temperament is.

He also got a chiropractic adjustment from Dr. Gerald Johnson and it was amazing to watch. He was very sensitive in his mid-back area and was flinching and twitching the skin. He adjusted his ribs and instantly the twitching and flinching stopped. I will definitely look up Dr. Johnson at future shows.

Lemmy at 9 months

He’s been looking a little bit gangly to me the past week but he’s still coming together nicely. He has wonderful curves, front fill and moderate rear angulation.

Race practice

Lemmy attended his first race meet at the lovely sand track in Jacksonville. He went to practice on Friday and it didn’t take long for him to figure it out. The first two tries he wasn’t sure what was going on and didn’t chase the rail lure. The third try I ran 1/4 way down the track and he ran to me as the lure went by. The last time he totally ignored me and blew past me following the lure. When we practiced on Sunday I was able to release him and he was going nuts wanting the lure and followed it all the way around the corner. Many thanks to Mike Hattery and Allie Smith for helping me get him started. Box breaking next!

Lemmy 8.5 months

The pictures could be better – he was tense because he thought I was going to toss him in the pool.
