It’s been a rough summer for Rozzie: a surgical implant in June (not my decision, but her breeder’s), absorption of the puppies by July, a pyometra scare in early August and a course of antibiotics. I scheduled a spay as soon as she recovered, just in case we had any left-over problems. So Rozzie has spent a summer highly restricted and in discomfort. Thank goodness it’s all over now and Rozzie can just be a working girl. To celebrate, I’ve been trying to get her out doing what she loves most in the early fall weather: swimming and retrieving.
Today we were at Cherry Valley, and while the ponds were too low for any real swimming, Rozzie got to get down and dirty with her new love, a plastic orange bumper.
Gael got into the action too:
Things got a bit swampy at one point:
But the run back to the car was as merry as the run out. It does my heart good seeing Rozzie back to herself.
