Maya Retires!

March 13

Our class this week took a break from the Kathy Keats program to practise contact equipment for the trial most people will be at this weekend.

Apache is not ready to go back on contact equipment, so I left him home and brought Maya.

Maya has hip displasia, however, she has been completely asympamatic until last fall. I decided to give her a long rest over the winter. Boy, oh boy, was she ever excited to see everyone and visit with her doggy friends.

I set the jumps at 12" for her and at 21" tall that shouldn't be too taxing for her. She ran like stink for the first 10 obstacles and then came up limping. I let her rest and then we tried 8". She was very hesitant and reluctant to jump.

So, Happy Retirement, Maya! Now you just get to visit with people which is the real reason she wanted to go to agility anyway.
