Racing on the River

We had a wonderful weekend racing in Memphis! We won first place in division 3 on Saturday and second place on Sunday. Our best time was 20.4, but we had a ton of room to improve on our passing. Zio's turns get a mixed review. In some races, he did his turns correctly, but in others he had almost reverted back to stabbing the box. Overall, it's improvement, so we'll build on that.

He has some irritation between some of his pads on all four paws, so I'm limiting his activity until it can heal a little. Not sure what happened... hot pavement, stickers in the grass, rocky terrain, swimming... just not sure. Susan took him to the vet and had her check him, but she thinks were doing all that needs to be done. She did say that his body type (narrow, deep chest and a small waist) are prone to stomach-flip. I had never heard of the terminology before, but it sure is scary to read about it. I will be ever vigilante to the symptoms now.

Of course she said he is gorgeous and has the heart of an athlete! :D
