Good news is that 'Winking Shrewdie' will be returning to action, hopefully as soon as next week so long as he grades in OK on his comeback trial tomorrow.
Shrewdie cut his web in his paw when on a little upward curve, and has since had to have 6 weeks off. Maxine has said she has got a couple of gallops into the boy and hopefully he can grade back in and win some more races round Romford very soon.
It has been about 3 weeks since Bobby injured himself in a trial, and for the time being he has been taken out of the kennels to rest his leg. He is walking fine and is no longer tender to touch, however he kept getting too excited bounding about in his kennel everytime the other dogs went out for a walk.
He is currently at my house (Ben), living in a makeshift kennel in the back garden, and loving it. He is such a well behaved dog, who I have never once heard bark - and hope not to! He sleeps like a baby at night, which i'm sure the neighbours will be thankful for!
Bobby will return to John Petersons kennels on the first week of July, for a checkup, where we will be able to get a better idea of how well his leg has healed.
I will leave you with a picture of Bobby, taken on the travel back from Bicester when I stopped in a Tesco carpark, the white mark on his back right leg is where his hairline fracture is.
