Updates

Charlie's go with my crappy weave poles on Wednesday morning.



Fletcher finally saw an eye specialist today and I was given the bad news that he's got no vision in his right eye. The eye's small and while being fully formed something is funky with the wiring between the right and left eyes and the right eye and his brain. Either his optic nerve or the retina isn't quite right, so he can't see. And he won't ever be able to. So there's nothing I can do, nothing anyone can do to fix it, but at least I have a definite diagnosis now which makes me feel so relieved. After three and a half months of maybes and possibilities I have something concrete. He copes fine- having it since he was born has definitely helped him, since he hasn't known any other way of living and getting around. He's still going to be doing everything I had planned for him and I think he'll be fine.

They're both booked in to the chiropractor for next Friday afternoon to get their hips tweaked- Charlie's been a bit off his usual self lately, and Fletcher keeps sitting crooked- and then next Saturday we have a trial. Fletch is graduating from OB1 next Wednesday, and then the Wednesday afternoon he's getting snipped! Then the Saturday after that we have another CCCQ trial.

Commando and the demo class are starting very soon- I think Commando is starting on Sunday morning, if I remember correctly; demo in the middle of March, but I think I'm missing the first week because of the trial on the 19th. And Fletcher will be starting Rally One in a few weeks.

Very busy month coming up for us three.
