I think work is perhaps eating me up....

I am so sad that I only seem to get on LJ for MOMENTS at a time to read other posts, and then those visits are of the 15 minute variety, not the long, leisurely stroll through other people's thoughts, lives and dreams. I love my leisurely LJ strolls, sigh

Nice to hear from the apparently aptly named Lost Coast. Hooray for fun and fast agility runs. Boo for too much work and split stop pads. Hope to hear more...

bahahahaha. Good one!

you're a funny girl! yes, aptly named.

Come back to us, we had you for such a brief time this summer. We miss you.

Freddie had an issue (still does at times) with his pads. He would burn them off sliding down the contacts, yes, the rubberized contacts. He has been known to takes chunks out of his carpal pads, but never showed anything was wrong until after we were done training. I have been known to wrap the carpal pads in vetwrap and tape prior to activity, it helped a lot.

London's are misshapen and heather at one time filed them down because he had the same issues.

Luckily they heal quickly.

Woot on the trial! Would love to see video;) She looked so amazing last time I saw her in Hood River.

Hope to see you soon.

I miss you too!

Yes, Flyte had chunks missing, gruesome. And then when they've sort of grow back they are all lumpy and she is NOT a happy camper. I am going to wrap her in vetwrap. Well, when she lets me touch her again.

This smorning she came out with me to get the dog food and as she was sidling in closer to me she must of tapped the folding metal step and it crashed down near her. Again, I did this to her! Won't have anything to do with me, again. Sigh. So, changing the vetwrap on her now is going to be a chore.

AS Heather would say, .... girls.... such drama.

The vet said that I could use wart remover once they are healed to get rid of the lumpy extra tissue. So, I might try that. I can't imagine she'll allow me to file them. DRAMA!!!!

And yes, my goal this week will be video :)

Work! why does it butt into our lives so damn much? grrrr...

miss your posts!

[teaguestoy]

Miss you too! And yeah, what's with this work thing? Frick Frack!

Thanks for checking in! Sorry your life is crazy, but glad you get to fit in some fun with the pups.

EMT Gel is reportedly great for fast healing of pads. I've also heard that Tuf N Up will help to make the pad tougher. Good luck!

Hopefully it's fulfilling work, if you're working that hard! And good you still have time for the pups. ;-)

London did have quite an issue with ripping his stop pads on the contact equipment, I eventually would just file them down all the time and then put bag balm or the like on them to try to keep them from cracking.

With Haku's foot I've been using vetericyn, and no idea how much it helps, but he seems fine now. Apparently it requires no cleaning of the wound and doesn't sting, so maybe it would help with drama Flyte if she lets you near her. London required constant stop pad maintenance in his agility years, we would do it every week, just part of our routine.
