Dock Dogs - Eau Claire, WI

Rumor got to play at another Dock Dogs event alone while Dylan is finishing up his "time off"... the good news is that Dylan finally got the "ok" to start swimming!

We went to Eau Claire, WI for our wonderful weekend of fun with friends. Sadly, Katie/Andy and Whitney/Grant weren't there, but the boys and I had a great time with our WI friends and everyone else at the event.

Rumor started out with a bang and in his first wave he had a new personal best of 19' 3"!!! Wooohoo He was jumping a lot of 16' and 17' jumps for Friday and Saturday... on Sunday he slipped on the dock in the morning and his jumps definitely weren't so great in the afternoon. Rumor did get into his 1st ever National Finals... he was 8th in the Semi Pro Finals. So, for my little baby boy who was barely jumping off the dock at the last event, I was thrilled.


Dylan had a wonderful time of swimming laps around the pool during open dock... D couldn't have been happier just to be playing again!

We are really looking forward to Rockford in 2 weeks... all of our friends will be there... old and new! Fergus/Ryder, Abby/Alex/Remi, Ollie, Marley and a new friend Tractor coming from Las Vegas! It should be a fantastic event.

Wow!I thought only Cattle Dogs could blog. I found you guys by accident. You kinda sorta know mw. I am Zip the Wonder Dog. Maybe you know my good frined, Racer, and his mom, Beth. Anyway, I know you! That is great! You guys were at Mc Cook last weekend and so were we. We also know a lot of the same people, even train with some of them.

Good work on the Dock Dog stuff. Me, personally, I dislike water. Not the BCs though. They love it.
