So it turns out this was the training pool for Splash Dogs (Dock Jumping - http://www.splashdogs.com/ ) and Dad was just trying to cool me off. But apperently Retrievers chase their toys into the water - FOR FUN! They must be crazy! I wasn't going anywhere near any more "pools." - though mom has promised she'll take me to the lake and teach me to swim properly.
The next day we did more of the urban-mushing demos and then (to make up for the dunking) Dad took me to do the COOLEST THING EVER!!!!!!! Lure coursing.
No, no, you heard me right - lure coursing - the stuff they do with Jack Russels and other small rat terriers. But the group that does it here sets it up like an Agility course with a foxtail that we chase around the course. MAN OH MAN I WANT THAT FOXTAIL! GOTTA GET IT GOTTA GET IT! I took off and 18 seconds later I was done - I didn't even miss a tunnel! Wow was that fun! Can't wait to go again! I'd post a picture, but the video is SO much more interesting.

Sounds like your fair had a lot for the fur kids to do. That coursealure sounds like something that would go over big around here too.
ReplyDeleteI was shocked at how much D loved it. I was sure it would be Windy we had to tear away from the course, but she was pretty uninterested in anything that day except pulling Brad around the arena. D was a terror though - I can't wait to get him out on it again. This week is a new adventure though - our very very first Rally competition. I'm really nervous for my part. and as long as I don't have many stay's D will do awesome. :)
