1st Dock Dogs event of the year!

Dock Dogs held their event at the Chicagoland Outdoor Show again this year. It was definitely smaller than in the past, but was still a lot of fun. I was only able to attend Wednesday and Thursday, but that was probably a blessing because the water was SO COLD and Rumor had a tough time with it... jumps were definitely shorter than usual. Dylan could have cared less... shocker :)

I was thrilled because Rumor actually successfully competed in Speed Retrieve for the 1st time! His best time was 8.345 which put him in 2nd for the wave. The waves weren't that great. I believe he did make the finals on Sunday, but I was just coming home from the airport so we didn't compete. His jumping was definitely shorter from the cold water... his longest jump was less than 16', which isn't like him. Oh well, he had fun and still did a great job.

Dylan had a blast, as usual. He could have cared less about the cold water... he just wanted to play! Dylan got to do Speed Retrieve both days... on Wednesday he had a time of 8.723 seconds... Thursday I tired him out a lot and his time was in the mid 9 second range. For Big Air he was jumping under 13', but had a blast -- what more can I ask for???

Chris, Katie and Andy were nice enough to take care of the boys while I was gone for the weekend... so Dylan and Rumor still got to enjoy the event :)

Congrats to Fergus and Ollie! They both did great in the Semi Pro division! I believe Ollie got 2nd and Fergus got 4th... awesome job. I missed their jumps, but Marley and Frankie also had a great time this weekend at the event... always a good time.
