Wednesday Woos

Finally got some sunshine yesterday - and LOOK - the plants are thriving.



Ciara is not a happy camper as she is confined to house arrest or allowed outside only on leash or under the watchful eye of the Momster.



"Don't worry, Mom. I will stay right here with my brother.
But do I really have to go inside when you do?"



"I am just hoping to find a good spot here for a sunbath and snooze."

Note from the Momster: Thank you all for your suggestions and opinions on Ciara's situation. After careful thought, I have decided not to take her to her obedience class. I have done many classes with the other dogs and will continue to work with Ciara at home. I hope to find another good obedience class opening in early June so that we won't lose any valuable learning time. The class she was enrolled in may not have another session until late summer or early fall, and we won't wait that long. If I can't find a good one that starts soon, I will pursue private training.

Ciara is being very cooperative. The boys are also behaving. Thunder seems oblivious (or maybe clueless) to what is going on. Phantom, the old man, is doing lots of sniffing but so far I have seen no misbehavior toward her and no sign of rivalry between the boys. But I will continue to be very vigilant.

Ciara did manage to sustain an injury. On Sunday she got her front leg under the play set in the yard as she was contemplating some digging. She may have pulled too quickly when she decided to get up. She was exhibiting pain Sunday night and Monday. So off to the vet we went AGAIN. Vet checked her over and thinks she has a sprained shoulder. She is on Deramaxx for ten days. The one good thing about it is that it seems to be keeping her a little quieter than her usual exuberant way.

Thanks again to all for all of your thoughts.
