CREAKING BONES

Tonsils goes from his favoured Trap 1 on Sat night in an S2 sprint. He has been off since May 24th for a long rest, and just small niggly problems. He is a dog that gives me everything in his races, so I am hopeful of him showing himself in a good light once again, and for me hollering OI Oi at the run in. Alas it was not to be. Badly bumped at the first bend, and out of the race. He finished last for the first time in his life, so retirement may well be on the cards. He had an x-ray to see all was in order, and it was confirmed that he was OK. He appear to have abone growth on top of his metacarpals, The Vet had seen dogs like this before, and we have all decided to give him some treatment and try him in another couple of races, before any decision is taken on his future.
