Our next competition, IWPA - Friendsgiving in Knoxville, is right around the corner! This will be our first time hosting IWPA!

IWPA has some different rules than our usual W3PO, so please take some time to review them. Also please be aware IWPA requires a membership for dogs pulling pro (regular or provisional), which can be acquired on their website or at the pull.

Provisional Membership is $5 per dog, per pull. These teams can earn event awards but do not earn any IWPA points.

Thanks to everyone who came out to support Grimm's Pull of Horrors W3PO Rails & Wheels. We had 12 dogs pulling on Saturday and 20 dogs pulling on Sunday for a total of 22 different dogs entered over the weekend. The dogs all gave great effort and there were a number of new personal bests, finished titles, and goals met.

Our Halloween costume contest each day had some very impressive entries with the Grim Reaper & Cerberus, The Sugar Skeleton Crew, Jurrasic Bark, Little Red & the Big Bad Wolf, Stitch AKA 626, a Halloween Pumpkin Butterfly, and the *real* Nosferatu all making appearances. We did not take photos of every dog pulling this weekend, but there are some of Rofi, Dresden, Frost, and Momo. There are a number of candids and accomplishment photos. No charge for pictures, they can be accessed here:

As usual, please feel free to share them. Just tag the club if you do!

Our AM pull on wheels for Grimm's Pull of Horrors W3PO Rails & Wheels today is concluded. The handler meeting for the PM pull will begin at 1 pm. We post poned our costume contest for today to the PM pull. If you are entering, handlers should come to the meeting dressed for the costume contest. Dogs will have time to be dressed at the end of the handler meeting for judging and then removed from costume to compete.

Happy pulling ya'll!

Few clarifications for this weekend at Grimm's Pull of Horrors W3PO Rails & Wheels:

- The premium and RSVP forms are incorrect and have caused some confusion. We will be pulling wheels on Saturday and rails on Sunday (2 pulls per day).

- There will be 2 costume contests hosted this weekend, one during each of the AM handler meetings on Saturday and Sunday.

Picture of some of the finished event awards for the algorithm.

Exciting updates for our upcoming pull: Grimm's Pull of Horrors W3PO Rails & Wheels

There will be a costume contest each morning during the handler meeting! Show up to the handler meeting with humans in costume. Dogs can have 5 minutes to get dressed after the meeting for judging and judges can make the rounds to vehicles if need be to make sure our spicy friends can participate safely. Prizes will be handed out for best costume in three categories: best dog, best handler, and best combined (handler and dog(s) dressed as a matching set). You may not win twice in the same category, so if you win in best dog on Saturday, you only have the possibility of winning in best handler or best combined on Sunday. You are welcome to change costumes between days if you want to dress up one way on Saturday and another way on Sunday. This will replace our usual Judge's Choice Award for each day. Costumes will be removed from dogs to pull.

Also, this pack of skeledogs showed up on my porch and volunteered to dress up for the occasion. They're looking for a permanent place to crash with the dogs that earn MWP and MWPP. They've been really patient as I put their harnesses and signs together and were very good models for a sneak peak progress picture.

We will have turtle awards for this pull, one per day. Dog with the slowest successful pull will win a cute turtle dog toy.

Really looking forward to an exciting weekend!
