Lawn Chair Agility

I try to get out every  day to work with Belle so that when I can stand on two feet again, she will be in tiptop condition.  I do a lot of tennis ball flinging for her--not an easy feat given how many trees are in the yard beyond the patio.  I actually managed to get a tennis ball stuck in not one, but two different trees.

Belle does really well when I try to do agility with her.  She's getting used to having to ignore all the conflicting body language and depend more on the verbals.  Here's a short video from yesterday.  I was very proud of Belle when she turned after the last jump and ran to the table.  Belle has also gotten very good about dragging my pillows from the bedroom to the living room so I can prop my ankle up.



Two more weeks before I go to see the orthopedist again. Hopefully, the x-rays will show I'm ready to start bearing weight on my left leg.
