Yesterday my foot and I made our debut into the show ring - first time since my second (actually 4th) surgery on it.
It was obedience weekend but one dog is lame and the other is possibly pregnant so had no dog to do obedience with! So I entered a breed show instead with the pregnant one (breed shows are the 'beauty contests' like Westminster you may see on TV).
I had to run around the ring with my dog (and a friend's dog) at least seven times and the foot felt great! I was actually concentrating on my mechanics to be sure I was striding right and not compensating. I really didn't think I had any chance to win with my girl so I was really focused on my foot during the show.
No pain. No compensating. It felt GREAT!
Plus we won the points which is a huge big deal in terms of my girl getting her championship. But the second best news was that my foot felt and acted perfect.
Whew!
