Back in the Saddle, Part II


Here we are!  After settling in this summer in the new country house, we're beginning to get back on track in terms of agility training and outings in Ontario.  Chip seems to have whipped the whipworms, but not without some difficulty.  Anyone ever seen explosive doggie diarrhea?  Wow.  We finally had his DNA tested by the nice folks at Washington State University (see http://www.awca.net/drug.htm) for the gene mutation that would keep him from taking the ivermectin he needed.  Turns out he doesn't have the mutation, so he's on Sentinel now and we're hoping whipworms are a thing of the past!



We took Chip swimming this morning at a nearby provincial park -- here are the pics.  He's not been swimming very often but really seems to love it!  We'll be doing this more often...


Note the photo with the dog-mom happily wading in the water with Chip.  Guess who forgot her iPhone was in that side pocket?  D'oh!
