Paige

This was Paige enjoying a play date ....

Paige runs Running with friends at "spring fling" held at Trifecta Kennels.

and this was Paige five days later....

Paige hurt
Ice pack on hip, leg elevated, pillows to keep her comfortable (and thus still), Paige snoozes.

Paige was running with a few other dogs and and slammed into a tree while playing. X-rays showed that she cracked her ilium (wing part of the pelvis). While waiting for our consult with Dr. Zolton at Round Valley Veterinary Referral Group in Lebanon, NJ, Paige was confined to a crate or gated area.

The bad news is that Paige will be restriced to four weeks of leash-walking only, no playing with other dogs at all. The great news is that we cand walk her 20 miles a day if we wish, and we can go back to our training classes on Monday!

It was a scary week waiting to find out what Dr. Zolton would determine. Who would have thought dogs playing could end up with such a bad injury?

Paige prefers the laps of Mom and friend Susi to the cold, concrete floor.

Paige, my friend Susi, and I attended the Expo in Allentown today. The picture shows Paige deciding to find a more comfortable spot to snooze on than the cold concrete floor ... the missing part is the photographer, who had Paige's legs draped across her lap.

At nine months old and somewhat skittish around children, Paige did
*exceptionally* well today. She backed away from a few people, but for the most part was completely relaxed in the pandemonium of people and dogs everywhere. She had a blast with all the attention!

Paige earns her Canine Good Citizen (CGC).

Paige was nine months old in this photo. We're one step
closer to Therapy Dog! She needs to be a year old before we can test for that title. Paige tries the A frame for the first time

Paige isn't allowed on the furniture, but found a way around that! Who can resist an armful of loving puppy?

I never expected an email to MAGDRL's PA Coordinator about Jewel's ill health to result in a new addition to our family ...
