It was nice while it lasted

I spoke too soon, Blitz is not getting better. Instead we have a scary new development. I went to the Lawrence, KS obedience trial to visit friends, watch the show and socialize Moto. When I came home Blitz was so up and happy and gave me a vigorous jumpy greeting. Then he produced a tug toy begging me to play and of course we immediately began a fun game of tug. Then I noticed there was blood on my hand. Thought he'd somehow nicked me then I saw blood in his mouth. Checked all his teeth (fine) checked gums (nice and pink) and just thought it was a fluke...maybe a small cut from playing. Today when we went outside to play a good game of fetch Blitz started sneezing and sneezing, then the tip of his nose started bleeding and there was blood in his mouth. I brought him inside to check him out and he was acting like "what is all the fuss Mom?" He obviously was in no pain or distress and once he quieted down he stopped bleeding. This cannot be a good sign. Tomorrow, I pray his specialist is in town so I can speak to him. I just gave Blitz a hug and said "well at least it was a great couple of days".
Moto training diary:
Moto did great at the Obedience trial. Was well-behaved in his crate and never uttered a sound. I was free to walk around the rings without worrying about him barking. He met many children and people and never once balked at being petted by a stranger. This dog is unflappable! I checked in with my friend and trainer Kathy to see how he is progressing. She gave me some good pointers (do not yo-yo treats, do not present treats until work begins) and DO NOT PUSH TOO HARD. I am not patient. He is doing GREAT, he just turned five months this weekend! She also gave me some good lateral exercises I can build on and I am excited to start teaching this. Kathy is my inspiration - she's been to Crufts twice, won the NOI and had the #1 Obedience dog, all breed, in OTCH points. No one person has ever achieved all that. She is in the AKC hall of fame. One can only hope to be as good! And....she's a nice person too!
