I can't believe I haven't updated in almost a month! Good grief!
Well in fantastic news it seems that Flirt's palate surgery was a success and and when we had her rechecked 3 weeks after the surgery everything looked great! (Knocking on wood) she has not had any more nasal infections and no complications from the surgery. The surgeon would like to sedate her and exam the area one final time when she is done growing to see how things look. I am just thrilled that she is doing so well now!
Flirty is growing by leaps and bounds although she is still much lighter than the other girls in her litter. She is only about an inch shorter but more than 15lbs lighter!! But the other girls are BIG girls too so it's not just that Flirty is small.
We have been having so much fun in puppy class and working on conformation training. Wow-wee I was SO lucky to have Famke as my first conformation dog (she seemed to naturally know what to do) because Flirty things this standing still training is silly. Actually she is doing pretty well with the stacking portion but the gaiting portion is a total riot. She leaps and spins and twirls and sasses me. Yeah I have my hands full. LOL
The AKC is now offering a "beginner puppy 4-6 month old class" in conformation now for the babies and Flirt is entered in a show in Michigan July 7th. Her breeder and her litter sister will be there as well which will be wonderful. I am excited for the breeder to see her and for the girls to see each other again. It is an outdoor show, which will be mighty interesting as well. LOL
