More tales from flyball:

--------------------

Our dog is fat

This isn't news to us, we've known it for quite some time now. Cassie is a little chubby. Basically, she was growing at the same time she got her winter coat last year. But when she shed it, we noticed that she was still pretty big.

But now that she's in "training" for flyball, her weight is apparently an issue.
I got a lecture yesterday from the flyball coach. Cassie needs to drop some pounds or she'll never make it in the sport, is basically what I heard.

So now she's on a diet. We're subbing green beans for some of her food. She's loving the green beans so far, so I guess it's not so bad. Better her than me.

On a happier note, she did great in class yesterday, even though she's fat. :)

Oh, and she turns to the right. Does that make her left-pawed or right-pawed? I don't know. But anyway, when she runs away from you and then turns to come back to you, she turns to the right.And she jumped over all four hurdles yesterday!
