Where we are now

I should have known that trying to lay any kind of plans for the next 6 months would end in disaster! It appears that Dylan has come down with Kennel Cough** which means we won’t be competing again until after Christmas. The girls are both currently fine — in fact, Mollie is high as a kite and completely bonkers at the moment, and Kim isn’t too far behind — but I am slightly concerned about them getting it at their age, and with Kim already being on daytime walks due to her being stressed during the evening thanks to the fireworks.

I can only assume Dylan caught this at Hare’n’Hounds, as the incubation period is usually 3-5 days and he started coughing yesterday (Tuesday) morning. Jet, thankfully, appears to be completely fine and can continue competing at flyball at least.

I’m disappointed that I’m going to miss the Christmas Hare’n’Hounds, which would have been Kim’s first Grade 6 show, and mostly Wyre, where I never win anything but I haven’t missed it in 5 years, because it’s such a great end to the season. Having said that, I mostly just hope all the dogs have minor symptoms and stay happy throughout what will hopefully be a minor case.

**Notice how Dylan always gets it first? In fact, notice how the girls never had KC until we got Dylan? Just commentating, not trying to imply Dylan has a manly weak-immune system or anything along those lines.
