Guess what?

My dog has a "messed up leg"

news flash!! nobody ever told me about that before!!

*sigh*

I took lexx to training tonight against my better judgement. Surprisingly good focus considering he hasn't done ANYTHING all week...

definitely no improvement on the sitting front... I called the trainer over and said..

"look.. i need help with this. He just doesn't seem to be able to do it".. I got the TYPICAL answer... don't worry, he'll get it eventually..

yesh..NO..NO HE WONT THERE IS NO EVENTUALLY HERE... Every trainer assumes that this is the FIRST time you've tried something.. well i've been trying to get lexx to tuck sit for over a year, through 4 different trainers, multiple methods and NOTHING works.

then the inevitable "yeah.. his leg does seem strange.. have you asked a vet about it?"

no.. no of course not. I just let my dog do whatever, he actually never sees a vet for anything...

Maybe its a cruiciate (sp?)??? I think thats a ligament? is that something a VET should know about? because nobody has ever mentioned it to ME... maybe it is.

maybe he's MORE broken.. hell.. who knew? my dog isn't perfect?

Everyone thinks that their dog is the best dog, the most perfect dog... me on the other hand.. I have a broken, "neurologically damaged" "not quite right" dog.

thanks.

I feel defeated. I dont' know why I keep trying to make something happen when deep inside I know that it never will.

Leanne. your dog will never compete in obedience. Repeat. Leanne. Your dog will NEVER compete in obedience. Leanne...
