Hopefully, she's okay ... and hopefully, you're feeling better, too, Noah.

Her injuries were either joint stuff or muscular, too many limping episodes for it to be just nothing, so i am leaning towards desexing her. I am slowly putting the money together to get her xrayed to know for sure, if it is a problem then she will not be able to competitively trial either, so she will just become a normal pet *L* Regardless i love her to bits.

Worst comes to worst i'll get a pedigreed male dog to trial with and she can be the companion. Dunno depends on the xray results really.

And well my crap just seems to be neverending at present *LOL*

Anyway we made it to class tonight, was only a short night due to storms and rain in the area. She did far better than i thought she would actually, we went with the beginners, after class we were told we will be in Class 3 next week *L*

So this week we will be out training, and to get the bit of excess weight of her from lack of work (know the feeling *L*) and get back into the swing of things.

Took Nika into town this morning, she was soooo damned excited *L*

Dropped Bilbo off at work, she proceeded to whinge because we left him *L*

Drove and parked downtown, went for a walk, gawd if every second person didnt compliment the dog *L*

A wee little girl wanted to pat the pretty puppy *L* so i gave her a piece of food and she not only patted, she fed the pretty puppy and walked off a happy little camper.
Didnt get pics here, damn camera batteries were flat and nothing was open for me to buy more!

We sat and waited for my eldest son to go to an appointment, while sitting got more compliments and Nika scored many a pat *LOL*

Son came out and drove to Queens Park to have a look at some of the flower beds, sadly many of them were dying off, but i got a couple of pics here.

From there we drove to the duck park (cant remember its proper name) and Nika wanted to jump into the water and chase said ducks *L* A woman with a dog asked if she could come over, Nika is not dog aggressive, but as the other dog was approaching its hackles went up and she took offence. Parked herself fully in front of me and stared this other dog. The silly lady kept coming. Anyway when Nika gave a small warning lunge, she stated oh your dogs not friendly. I stated back yes she actually is, asked her if she could see her dogs hackles up, yes she said. I told her that is considered a sign of aggression and Nika just went into guard mode. I told her when approaching other strange dogs her dog needs to learn ettiquite, charging (with owner in tow)at them hackles up is not going to get a good reaction the majority of the time. This is why i am an advocate for compulsary obedience training for dog owners. This womans dog ruled the roost. Very proud of my Nika, she put herself between myself and the strange dog and she was standing her ground without being overly aggressive herself.

From the duck park we drove out to a pet store that allows dogs to go in. Nika loved that *L* The 2 staff members jut loved her to bits, Nika loved 1 of them, well more to the point the $1500 tame bird on her shoulder *L* Never took her eyes off it the entire time. The girl went to squat down to say hi to Nika, i quickly got her up and said that putting the bird in Nika's grab space would not be a good idea. A VERY expensive chew toy!

Nika had had enough by this stage, she is a dog that flatly refuses to either drink or pee/poop while out and about, and it was quite a warm day. So home we came, with Nika absolutely slabbed out on the back seat *L* She loved the whole trip though, and took all the strange situations in her stride.

I'm one very proud mum!

(pics will come, but being on dial up i am having trouble uploading them)

Nika in the car....watching everything *L*

Another in the car....this one cracks me up :D:D

Lake Annard (duck park *L*)

Honey bunny what great photos I have enjoyed this whole thread!
You take great shots!
Love the story of Nika chops and this lady and her dog.. ducks huh hehehe.. her mother was the same anything that moved was a chasing object anything that wasn't firmly in the ground became a toy and anything that was planted firmly soon became dislodged lol!

Nika looks great!
I cannot wait to see your new tank look and the work you've put in it. Well done bub you have a brilliant imagination love it!
MWA Keep the photos coming!

Yay there she is!!! Missed ya matey!

Glad ya enjoyed it, there are a few other critter threads around in here.

Yeah the tank has been fun, next one though i'll try incorporating the filtration, waterfall feature etc into the background, bit more of a challenge.

Love your photos.. I'll have to look around that's for sure!
Cant wait to see your new tank set up, you always do some great stuff and in real life even nicer!

A new passerby, grabbed some pic of it and yep it was not in the least amused.

I also learnt something new today, beardies have teeth, i mean real honest to goodness teeth, and they aint afraid to use them. Thankfully this was something i learnt after having my fingers and camera within millimetres of its face!

Some more...i love lizards, even ones with scary teeth *L*
