Shipps Corner, Training Facility

10/16/2024

For anyone going to NADD Nationals volunteers are needed. Volunteers get snacks and waters during their shifts. The best part of volunteering is meeting other competitors and their dogs and making friends all around the country and Canada. If you are interested in something more tangible, volunteers earn raffle tickets for raffles that are just for volunteers. Facilities, NADD, vendors, and individuals send raffle baskets filled with wicked awesome things including free splashes, boos, canine massage, and so much more. I personally have won televisions, an underwater camera, and many other smaller ticket items.
This is the link to volunteer and if you have any questions about what each one entails please let me know.

Most everyone knows I own a kennel and running a kennel can be extremely tough, presently I have been trying to hire another groomer, pay is good but unfortunately we just haven’t found the right person, so I am reaching out to the facebook world to see if there is a groomer out there who might be looking for another home. So if you or someone you know might be interested please pm me!

Debby Downer is not competing at Shipps Corner’s Aloha Luau but we are! We jump in rain and wind but not lightning. If we have lightning within 10 miles we will have a mandatory lightning delay. The Friday forecast is calling for rain in the morning and storms moving in for the afternoon. Saturday is looking great for diving. Sunday morning light rain and chance of storms in the afternoon. Let’s get jumping until Mother Nature tells us to take a lunch break. See you at Shipps Corner, where a splash is a blast!💦

Daisy Chain and I took off on a quick Team Shed Happens girls dock diving trip up to WestWind Diving Dogs in PA. Daisy has loved having her mommy snuggle sessions without her 5 month old sister jumping on her and playing bitey face. We celebrated Sharon Yon’s boy Louie’s 8th birthday today and had a great time competing and having time to actually talk with one another without me working an event. Here are some photos from today by Oliver C Archer I love Sharon’s face in her first photo. Thanks again Chuck and Tara! Thank you Thirsty Farmer Brew Works, I can’t wait to come back for growler refills and try more food off of your menu.
Now it’s time to head back to Virginia Beach to train dogs and get ready for our 🦈 themed event Shipps Corner, We Need A Bigger Boat 7/19-7/21. No rest for the weary.
