Emily, thank you SOOOOO MUCH for sitting on the ground in the heat ALL WEEKEND to capture the dogs in action!! I can’t wait to see them all!!!

08/03/2024

Before I babble on: the first dog is on the line at 8:30AM again tomorrow 😊 I might do a short briefing at 8:15

At the beginning of today, we had 204 runs scheduled, and I wanted to start the day at 8:45, and end the day by 6 — even if I had to put off awards until Sunday 😳

The first dog was on the line at 8:35, and when I went to my car after Awards, my phone said 6:00!!! And we had AT LEAST 15 extra runs added…

I have THE BEST volunteers and judging crew a person could ask for! There is NO WAY today would have run as smoothly as it did without every one of them!

Please take a moment tomorrow to thank them for the amazing job they’re doing:

In no particular order:
Judge Jayme, Alexandra, Heather, Bekah, Melissa, Rebecca, Ryan, Brittany, Nicola, Shelby, and my husband, Pierre, and his parents, who ran the bbq.

Because of the people above, I actually had fun today playing with my own dogs…it’s been a few years since I’ve said that at my own trial, as my focus is always on you guys having fun. ❤️❤️❤️

Get some rest, and let’s do it all again tomorrow!

A great weekend on the dock when Andy from Aqua Terra Kennels came to work with our intermediate dock dogs to progress their technique!

Even though the weather was less-than favourable on Saturday, we adjusted and moved into the arena for an impromptu throwing clinic…

Sunday the sun was back, and we were able to spend the entire day at the pool with ten more dogs 😊

Thank you, Andy! We always love having you visit and leaving us with things to work on over the upcoming summer season!
