Freya is headed back to group obedience classes tomorrow. We took a break and skipped one eight-week session, but I think our lives are all better when Freya has the structure of a class setting at least once a week. I’m also thinking of taking her to a Tuesday night class as well, but I haven’t made a final decision on that. The extra cost factor would be minimal (it is an obedience club class with a reduced price for members) but the distance is a little farther than I’d like. I definitely want her to be ready for the next UKC Rally Obedience trials coming up in the fall, though, so I’m leaning more towards doing the class.
Freya also has a vet appointment immediately following class, so it will be a busy morning for us. She has a small lump which I originally thought was a scab from overly rough play with Axel. It doesn’t seem to cause her any discomfort, but it isn’t going away, though, so it’s time to check it out and make sure it’s not something invasive or dangerous.
UPDATE 8/22/09: Thanks for all of your Freya love! It was a cyst from an ingrown hair and nothing more serious.

I hope the lump turns out to be something of nothing. I hate the vet as much as the dogs do I think!!

Thank you for your good thoughts! It turned out to be something minor, a cyst from an ingrown hair.

Welcome to ICLW. As much as I love it, I also dread it because it does ugly things to my blogroll like making it swell to unmanageable proportions…LOL.
I love your rottie’s name. Freya is such a cool name. Do you enjoy doing the obedience classes with her?
kathi says
Thanks for stopping by, Kristin! I think I am seeing what you mean about the ever-expanding blogroll (and feedreader too)!
Freya and I both enjoy obedience classes, you could tell she was glad to be back after our break. She is from an “F” litter and since my husband is of half Norwegian ancestry it seemed only right to name her after a Norse goddess 🙂
