Thank you so much everyone. I am trying to help Graham as much as I can, but he keeps doing not so smart stuff. He jumped the baby fence again ...so now he is crated during the day and when I can't watch him. I am beginning to wish I had never put him through agility, because he seemes to have very little common sence when it comes to his limits. He learns tricks and obedience and agility quickly, but he seems to not know right from wrong. It's frustrating. He's miserable in his crate. He has not been in a crate since I first got him (with exception to when I would take him to our performance shows). He has seperation anxiety when he is locked in his crate, but I am so fed up with him doing dumb stuff and hurting himself. Depending on the outcome of the ortho surgeon appointment, I will maybe lock Graham in a room so he does not have to be in his crate.

His appointment with the ortho surgeon specialist is tomorrow (Saturday) and I will let you all know how that goes. I know it's going to be very expensive, but as long as Graham dosen't mess up the work that the doc does by pulling any more foolish stunts, I don't mind paying. Graham is worth it. Even thought he is making me worry beyond belief, he's still my best friend
