Sorry - no tour update :-(

[Cornelia]

We are back to where we've been twice before and can now lock outside and enjoy the beautiful weather from the sofa. Since her small accident last Autumn (one nail got caught in the frame of our garden door; all healed properly), one part of Joy's paw seems to be stil more dry and prone to tears, especially in cold weather or when absorbed in play and turning on her backhand. Itchy as a small and near unseen tear is, she did most of the damage herself by biting part of the sole off in the middle of the night. I caught her at it but the damage was already done! 

This time she was in pain the next day and I went to the vet to rule out the possibility of a foreign matter or of being fungal. They said it's all ok and I just have to keep up the good care, so I bought her new shoes, because the old ones did not last all our wear and tear and I will try now with a different creme to keep that sole soft and flexible. I know that the Setter will soon run over the fields again with a shoe but the vet advised to keep the amout of k's down for the time being - so we're in for a relaxed weekend.

I just wanted to let you know, in case you wondered, where we are on our tour through Switzerland...

Oh no bad news! All 'athletes' get injured and need to let their body heal - swift recovery Joy! 

[Virginia Thielsen]

Oh sad news, I hope the new shoes and cream do the trick.  I love seeing your pictures and reading about your tour, but it wouldn't be fun with a sore foot.

[Chantal McIlveen-Wright]

Quick recovery Joy!!!  ok your sock/shoe is beautiful but I am sure without it is still much better, so I wish you a swift recovery.  There is plenty of terrific time ahead waiting for you ... and us waiting to read about   :-)

Cornelia,

   I know it is hard to keep Joy inside and off her paw!  Poor baby ....cute foot but trying to figure out how you keep her from taking it off?  Hope Joy is soon back on her paws and you again get to post your wonderful pictures of her adventures.  Hugs to Joy from our Molly.
