Not so much the Physio ball - for that we need two additional favorites (Cheryl = chiro and Mary = PT) and rabbit in a tube (Bug's new addiction - he might need a 12 step program).
Ike is the first dog that is purely my own. We have overcome some big hurdles with his fear of people (how can you avoid them!) and continue to work on building our confidence in the sport of agility. Ike takes life at a much slower speed than I do, which is a challenge. My goal for our partnership is to figure out a sport or joint activity that Ike and I can enjoy equally and excel at together. This would be in addition to Ike's #1 sport, lounging on the couch; which I don't really enjoy or excel at.

Carmen is a 9 yo salt-n-pepper Miniature Schnauzer from the same breeder as Ike. I started working with Carmen in the winter of '08 after my DH told me we could not get another dog until the end of 2008 (enter Bug 5/08). Little did I know how much joy she would take in agility and what a spitfire she would be. We are having a ton of fun working together. Unfortunately, Carmen was diagnosed with PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy) in 10/08 and has been retired as her vision continues to change.

What's rabbit in a tube?
Oh, Bug getting his PT therapy. Too cute.
I've been thinking about ordering some of those PT balls to use at home, when Oreo is given the OK to start some strength training.
Nancy, I bought the re-usable camping/squeeze tubes from Clean Run (They are $3.95 for 2):

Then I put Evanger's 100% canned rabbit in it. Bug thinks it is the nectar of the dog gods!
Sara, we have a ball at home and Bug LOVES it! I have to leave it up off the floor or he would try to hop on it!
I LOVE the tubes, they save us, we have liverworst in a tube, but rabbit in a tube sounds marvelous! The PT therapy looks great, lucky bug!
Wow, the ball is huge! He's being a very good boy.
