Lance is back!

Lance is feeling so much better!  Ever since his last agility trial where he was again creeping down or bypassing some of the contact obstacles I had been wondering if he had a physical issue or if it was a training problem.  So I took him to a wonderful chiropractor for an assessment and it turns out Lance had a billion things that needed adjusting.  Since she did SO much she wanted to see him a few more times so Lance has now gone 3 times in the last month.  And by golly he is a new dog!  I don't think I had realized how much Lance had slowed down his activity level until it has suddenly come back.  Of course he's still no Vito, but the corgi does have some attitude!  He hasn't been to a competition since he's been going but I'm hoping that we see some improvement.  Lance is now on a maintenance schedule and will be seen every 3 weeks and hopefully we can gradually add time in between visits.

Snarky bastard.

He even won sometimes!

Lance also had dental surgery last week to remove a chipped tooth.  Before the surgery they took x rays and found that the tooth had probably been injured about a year ago, it just cracked recently.  Unfortunately it was badly infected and spread to another tooth so Lance lost 2.  I knew his tooth had been bothering him recently as he hasn''t wanted to retrieve anything the last month but I wonder how long he's been in pain and just didn't say anything.
