The boys and I headed to Dubuque this weekend for the DockDog event there... the weekend was a blast! The weather was a little suspect Saturday morning, but was very nice the rest of the weekend. Made me realize the boys and I all need to get used to the heat/humidity and get into shape!
Dylan had a very good weekend... he did a few Big Air waves and 1 Speed Retrieve wave. For Big Air, he had a jump over 17' that put him in 1st for the Amateur Finals in Big Air. In the Finals, he ended up in 2nd place by 1". I was so happy with him... another jump over 17'... what a good boy.
Rumor also had a great weekend! He had some descent Speed Retrieve times, but his 7.363 second time wasn't enough to get him into the Finals. He did, however, have a new personal best in Big Air of 22' 7" -- woohoo! Seems like the little man has finally figured out what's going on. He had a couple jumps over 20' and a couple more over 21'... but only this one over 22'. The good news is that put him in 8th place for the Pro Finals. That was Rumor's 1st time in the Pro Finals. It was very exciting, but he was definitely the underdog. He jumped just a bit over 21' and ended up in 7th place, but I was very proud of the little guy. As it turns out, the Semi-Pro Finals were much more competative and had numerous dogs jumping 22+ and Vader jumped over 24'.
Overall, it was a really fun weekend... now it's time to get back to agility :)
