Pure Chaos.

Just checking in! Tractor is still going stir crazy.. with no agility and no classes. This week, I am dogsitting for a past rescue dog, Makena, so at least he is getting LOTS of play time. She is a bundle of energy and its nonstop bitey face here.
Here she is in a rare moment of quiet with the rest of the VP.
Anyway, she's a really neat little dog, and I'm going to try convincing her parents to get her into dock diving when they get back. It'll be a crazy week, but at least everyone will be tired by Saturday!

Other than that.. nothing is really new here with us, we had a mini dock practice to help some people brand new to dock diving out.. and that was a good time, despite the heat! (Right, Britt? ;) ) We got to meet a few more really nice dogs. I cannot wait to see what this dock club grows into.


This weekend is laying low, we'll have some swim time on Sunday for sure, getting him some more practice in before Rockford. We leave next Friday morning for that event, coming home late Sunday. The weekend after that, we are headed to Katy, TX for another event. I'm really excited about this one, because we'll get to not only finally meet Kari and Finn, we'll probably get to see Dhana and her family if they can make the drive! It's going to be a busy couple weeks.. but it'll all be worth it. I'd really like to get him titled in Big Air between those two events, so we can compete in BA at Nationals. After we get back from Texas, we'll start up with agility again - because we have to prepare for two AKC trials coming to Vegas this fall.

One last bit of good news before I sign off.. our dock dogs event (first official one for the club) was approved! It will be a regional event in November at the Strut Your Mutt event!! We'll have EV, BA and SR. I can't wait!!
