Who's Going to Cyno?

[MickeyD'sMom]

Who is making the trip to Phoenix this year? If your going where are you staying?
Jim & I will not be able to make it this year. Hopefully it is going to be another huge turnout. Hope everyone has a great time! This is such a fun event and it is unfortunate that we can not make it!

[stinkymig2009]

We'll be there!!!

Heading in on Thursday to get a spot in the crating area for both SplashDogs and Flyball since we will be crating together.

Just did my reg for Sat/Sun this am. Will do some flights Thurs/Fri to get him used to the dock.

Ready for Mig to break that 23ft mark!! :)

Can't wait to see everyone there!

Melissa

[Sassy Girl]

I think you already know but the Kinley/Plevney Crew will definitely be there participating in not only Splash Dogs but for the first year FLYBALL!!!

We are staying I think, at Extended Stay America. My flyball teammates are coming as well and staying at the same place along w/their dock jumping flyball dogs!

[SplishSplashCrash]

Crash, Cricket, and I will be there!

Crash will be competing in the Junior division for the first year ever and Cricket will be competing in her first cyno event and will be trying one last time for a 6 foot vertical grab before finals!!

Crash and I will also be playing flyball for the first year as well.

It is going to be so much fun :)

We are heading up Thursday and heading home Monday and we are staying ag the motel 8.

[Sassy Girl]

Sarah - we are looking forward to running flyball with you and Crash! It's going to be a blast!

[Team Double D]

We wouldn't miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dakota & Diesel are ready for a great w/e - we are also (hopefully) going to try to get a 6' grab from Diesel on Fri.
Can't wait to see all our friends in AZ!
Going out on Thurs. - Mon.
Staying @ La Quinta, same as last year.

[MickeyD'sMom]

Well I am pretty sure more than 3 or 4 are going so where is everyone?

[Tinka's mom]

Well if I can keep Tinka healthy and fit, ( this past two months has been a little hard on her- she got her leg ran over/ stitches ensued on that one-but no breaks which was sooo lucky), then she just spent last Tuesday in the doggie hospital ) BUT aside from that she is really looking forward to another fun time @ Cyno...
See all of you there!!
Suzy, Tinka & Mr. Joe
P.S. Jim too!!!

[MickeyD'sMom]

Oh no how did she get her leg run over?

[LoveOurLabradors]

We had so much fun last year at Cyno, but won't be able to make it this year. Looking forward to hearing to hearing about the awards and seeing the photos. Stacie/Suzy/Urs -- have an extra margarita for me!

[Kruml's Rudy]

The sometimes "flying Chihuahua" and Aussie will be there. Oh yeah......their family too.

[dove]

Tonka's ears looked GREAT, I have the time off, and everything in the works to go. I've been going out to the lake and a friends pool getting her in shape, and perfecting her fourm ...

Up until 2 weeks ago, on our last day of play & jumping at the lake. I noticed Tonka holding her back left leg up when she was walking, and when she was standing, only the tip of her toes was touching.

Off to Dr. Paws we go, and he diagnosed her with a partiaclly toren ACL, putting her on 'Couch/Crate Rest'. She just now got the okay to go for short walks, with no stress on her, or jumping.

We will be there in spirit, and looking forward to seeing pictures. ~ Deb & Tonka

[ssejrnv]

Hope Tonka heals up soon.
I would love to go but just can't do that long drive by myself.
Anybody have room for me and 2 dogs? They both travel together in a 300 crate. Anybody interested give me a shout as I and especially Page would love to go.

[hershey kiss]

I too will only be there in spirit as Nevada is on rehab for a torn CCL too. I have a really great forum for you to go to for support it's http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConservativeManagement/ They are a wealth of support and information in doing CM rehab properly. I do hope that you have Tonka on supplements as it is very important in the healing process. OMGosh Deb... 2 weeks is way to soon to be introducing activity. Nevada is in week 9 of rehab and is still on house arrest meaning no activity. She is allowed to swim only which is good but absolutely no jumping or twisting and no walks yet. Please, Please do not increase Tonka's activity too quickly or you are going to be looking at a full tear and possibly meniscus damage which would require surgery. I have become very experienced with this injury and would be glad to share with you what I have learned in the past 9 weeks. Email me at LadyDancer@sbcglobal.net

[Barbadler1]

Tess and I will not be going either. At present, she's been diagnosed with elbow dysplasia and has to be "kept low." Taking her for a second opinion on Monday before dong anything surgical.
Wish we could go but, hopefully next year. We'll be there in spirit though and thinking about all of you. Have a blast!
Barb & Tess

[Tinka's mom]

Deb, Shari, Barbara & (hopefully no one else) ! Very sorry to hear about your injured dogs, hope they all heal quickly and get back on the ol' doggie trail soon. I know how hard it is to have your kids hurt. Having had a couple of rough months recently with Tinka, it is NO fun at all. Here's to good wishes being sent your way !!!
Suzy, Tinka & Mr. Joe

[Barbadler1]

What a sweet message! Deb, Sheri, I'm sorry to hear about your kids too. I hope we all get better quickly!

Liz & Bill

[Tinka's mom]

Barbara, Thanks for asking and yes she is getting back to her ole self again. In fact took a couple of practice jumps this past Sunday. She was pooped that night, but is trying to get in shape for Cyno. She 'said' she will be @ Cyno come hell or high water!! (won't make Capitola though)..
Once again wishing all the dogs speedy healing !!
Suzy, Tinka & Mr. Joe

[DogMom]

Have you RSVP'd for the Awards Dinner - need to by tomorrow 10/27!! :)

[Tinka's mom]

Yes indeed I have !!! (er,, well were you asking me or was this to everyone??)
Sorry just got a little over excited :)
Suzy, Tinka & Mr. Joe

[DogMom]

Thank You Suzy!

[Howie and Maxx]

I'll be there--I'll be offical photographer again for entire event (3rd yr in a row), but I'll get over to Splash Dogs as often as I can! Can't wait to see you all!!

Howie

[Sassy Girl]

YAY! Howie is coming! Congrats on being the official photographer for the third year running Howie!!

[Sassy Girl]

ONE WEEK AND COUNTING until we leave for Cyno! I am looking forward to seeing everyone there. If you haven't registered you need to ASAP so we have a reasonable count for the championship t-shirts!!! Get your registrations in!

[Sassy Girl]

I just realized there is a special little puppy who will be celebrating his 1st Birthday at this year's Splash Dogs Championships. Sniper will be 1 yr old on Sunday 11/15 and will be celebrating by jumping in his first Championship! Sniper's brother Switch is also coming out and hoping to qualify.

Where has the time gone...he's already a year?!

[Ms. Talladega]

WOW....did not jump into this link till now and read from start to finish.

As a late bloomer I will not stop my reply that I am so thankful all the injuries are not permanent. All I knew about was Nevada and I am very proud of Shari for taking those patient steps with her. Good to know she is swimming!

I am feeling worried about all of you now! I hope all injuries are continuing to heal and that all mom's have not lost it yet trying to keep those competitors down.

Miss all of you and am wishing EVERYONE good luck. Sounds like there is going to be a fierce 6' competing SV event. Dega is dreaming about it now, and will pray she is there striving for it too next year.

2010 is our goal to attend, till then please travel safe and HAVE FUN!

Gianna & Dega

[ssejrnv]

Well Thanks to the generosity of others looks like me and my minimized pack of two will be travelling down to cynosport. Can't wait
JJ and lucky Page and Riot

[MickeyD'sMom]

JJ that is great news! Who are you traveling with?

[Sassy Girl]

Yeah! Awesome JJ! Is this your first trip to Cyno?

Actually if you want to get technical his birthday is the 16th ;) I know cause I was there fretting and panicing ALL NIGHT LONG :eek: Karma is going to miss celebrating her birthday with her baby brothers. I am very sad to not be going to Cyno this year but with Nevada's injury and little Karma not being quite ready to compete I thought it best to stay home. I expect to be on the phone with Barbra lots for updates on how all my special friends and their pups are doing.

Happy Birthday to the boys from Auntie Shari and big sister Karma (kiss kiss)

Love ya all.....

[Sassy Girl]

LOL, so true Shari - though the litter registration says the 15th - so we'll stick w/that and just enjoy telling the story...You and the girls will be missed at Cyno but everyone knows you will be there in spirit!

Gianna & Dega

Gianna... Lets make a pack right now that come 2010 Dega will most certainly be doing SV and that Nevada will heal and can compete again in SV (it's iffy for us :eek:) but either way I am truly thankful that they are alive and well. Nevada has become a happy little house dog laying around chewing on her kong and playing by herself with her toys. She has not been swimming much as it has become cold and the cold water is not good for the leg but regardless she is doing famously :D 10 weeks with no limp or inflamation. Just to be safe I am still going to wait a few more weeks before I start slowly edging her back in to sports. I am one of those freaked out mom's now and panic every time I see her pick up speed faster that a trot. Eeek!!

To Barbara, Suzy and Deb.... Glad to know that your pups are healing. Keep up the good work and remember healing is always SLOW and STEADY.....

Gianna.... you still owe me a phone call ;)

Everybody have a wonderful time at CYNO, jump big and of course most of all HAVE FUN!! and Barbra keep that phone close please.

[NevadaPuP]

LOL, so true Shari - though the litter registration says the 15th - so we'll stick w/that and just enjoy telling the story...You and the girls will be missed at Cyno but everyone knows you will be there in spirit!

I wondered if his B-Day was the same as the other pups :confused: I am sure that that is not the first time it has ever happened with pups being born. Majority won out so he gets the same B-Day as his brothers and sisters who came before him. Hehehe kinda like people or pups born in a leap year.

Oh yes... I will most certainly be there in spirit AND ON THE PHONE WITH BARBRA... Hehehe do you think she gets the point now that I have said it a million times :rolleyes:

I will so miss being there but "sh*t happens" and you just gotta go with the flow. Ho hum!!! I will say again though. I am SO THANKFUL that Nevada is healthy and this injury in not life threatening. I think my patience will win out in the end and Nevada and I can be back up on that dock again someday entertaining and doing what we both love.

[Barbadler1]

To Barbara, Suzy and Deb.... Glad to know that your pups are healing. Keep up the good work and remember healing is always SLOW and STEADY.....

Thanks Sheri!

Tess has "been through the mill" With CT Scans, Bone Scans, etc., etc. Been keeping her low for awhile now. She won't have her surgery for another 2 weeks. HOWEVER, the CT Scan showed a very mild case (she has a fragmented coroniod) so the prognosis is very good. Yes, the healing is slow. But, she's being really good about it. I'm like you though - "a freaked out mom!" Constantly got my eyes on her and watching every move she makes!

Thanks for your concern and good wishes. I send them back to you and Nevada! I think all of us should organize a "healing party" to celebrate when all of our doggies are better! ;-)

Absolutely... although I will need to keep snarly butt Nevada away from the other pups. I have a new friend too that I met through the CM forum. She has an Aussie that tore her CCL at 5 months old :eek: Jewelz is now over a year old healed and learning herding. Linda healed her without surgery through Conservative Management just like I am doing with Nevada. We are going to plan a CM party once Nevada is healed.

Ahhhh I can so relate to the watchful eye...... Poor Nevada can't make a move without Mom telling her what to do. Thankfully she is so well behaved that she has learned what she is allowed to do and what she can't.

Wish Tess could heal without the surgery too but I know what she has is different than Nevada's injury. I do think you could benefit greatly from the CM forum during Tess's recovery. You should check it out. I posted a link to the site in an earlier post but here it is again for easy reference.
http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/ConservativeManagement/

Good luck and keep us informed with Tess's recovery.

[Katiesmom]

Katie and Sir William are going to make the long journey down south

We look forward to seeing everybody

Its sad that some of our friends will not be there

you will be missed

Good Luck to everybody and safe travel

[InaBlinkofaneye]

Well another team Utah will be going and might even be attempting some jumps but it's not certain yet.
Just add Blink to the infirmary pool. He has not had any good jumps since spring when his seizures flared up. The rear is going and he has a hard time with the take off.
He still gets into it, so I might enter him just so can go in for some of his latest 'nose diving' jumps.

Gosia and Blink

[fyremanvan]

Team Double Trouble was planning on going but due to a family illness we will be cancelling. Good luck to everyone and don't drink too many margaritas (Urs, Stacy, Suzy, etc.)

[SplishSplashCrash]

Crash, Cricket, and I had our bags packed and all the reservations made but due to finances we are no longer going.

Super bummed, but their is always next year.

Have fun everyone!

Oh Gosia this breaks my heart. I had no idea that Blink suffered from seizures. I am so sorry. Please give him healing kisses from me.

Hey nose diving isn't so bad. Nevada has been doing it for years ;)

Hope you are going to the dinner cause you just might have a nice pretty little present to take home with you. It should help you to put a smile on your face no matter what your boy does. :D

[NevadaPuP]

Crash, Cricket, and I had our bags packed and all the reservations made but due to finances we are no longer going.

Okay I need to quit reading cause I am getting all depressed :( I am so sorry Sarah that this sucky economy is screwing with all of us. I know how much you were looking forward to going to Cyno. I tell ya even if Nevada didn't have an injury I would have had trouble getting the finances together to go this year too but like you said there is always next year.

[Sassy Girl]

You gals (Barb, Shari, Gosia and Suzy) keep your heads up and do what is best for your dogs...I've been on the rehab road a few times with Gunner and totally know what you are going through. Crate resting a high drive dog is not easy and sometimes you almost can feel their insanity. Stay strong and focussed.

Shari - I'm really glad to hear about Nevada's progress. I know she'll be back to herself in 2010!

Suzy - looking forward to seeing Miss Tinka in Scottsdale, did anyone tell you about the dog Tika in Capitola, I kept announcing her as Tinka, we really missed you at that event but I am glad to hear that Miss Tinka is going to Cyno and is feeling better.

Barb - we've had our tears together in LA. I hope that all is getting a little easier for Tess...I know it's hard but keep your chin up

Gosia - OML - I didn't expect to hear this about Blink, he looked great in Utah a few weeks ago. Nose dives - you gotta love those torpedo BCs!

Sarah - you know I am bummed you aren't going to Cyno - we were going to be running flyball together and who knows what trouble we were gonna get into (the LA County Bear Posse was going to be in the house) but you do what you can during hard times and times are definitley hard for a lot of people right now.

Jeff - I'm so very sorry that you guys cannot make it down. Please send your entire family my love and hugs. I know this is a very hard time for you all...

Hugs to all of you!

[Tinka's mom]

I just want to say "ditto" to what Urs just wrote.. Truly sorry about everyones bad/hard/and just icky times you are going through. I still panic every time Tinka sneezes!! It just freaks you out when they have been hurt or sick (or you run over your own dog's leg!!) For all that can't make it this year, Tinka will put a little bit of all your dogs into her jump's. So you can be there in spirit, (and maybe even get her a couple more inches..:) )..

[Ms. Talladega]

You ladies & gents sure do represent the relationships that exist in Splash Dogs.

I will repeat forever....there is no one like the SD group.

Well said Urs & Suzie......thanks for displaying the genuine affections we have towards our dogs

It's about them, not what we want........that is the catch 22 of it all.

Love you lots, miss all of you, and can't wait for a SPECTACULAR 2010!

Maybe this will be the year for all of us that are over due in deserving so much more in life.......

Keep the spirits up and positive and keep your dogs warm this season.

Hope everyone is having an excellent time in Cyno right now, and that you all return home safely.

Love me & Ms. Talla Dega

[fyremanvan]

To all you Scottsdale bound Splash Dogger: Please be safe and have a great time. Good luck to all. Wish we could be there to enjoy the fun and friends. Teva and Bailey also say good luck.

"Keep them doggies jumping"

So you can be there in spirit, (and maybe even get her a couple more inches..:) )..

You bet Suzy. Nevada can give you an extra foot. Here's hoping that it help Tinka hit that 24 footer so you can go to (where was it that you got to go when you hit the bit one..Paris, Austrailia?? .... oh yeah Italy that was it.

What's that Nevada???? Oh ok calm down I will tell her. Nevada said she will LEND you a foot but she wants it back when she is all healed and back up jumping ;)

Have a wonderful time at Cyno. I will be missing and thinking of you all.

[kimnsydney]

Sydney and I will be playing Splash Dogs at Cynosports!!! :)
This is our first time to go to the World Games and I have a question that I am hoping someone can answer. The way I understand it, 5 legs in a division qualify a team for the semi-finals...what is the criteria to qualify for the finals??

Thanks,
Kim and Sydney

[SplishSplashCrash]

Top scores in semi-finals qualify for finals.

Good luck!

[kimnsydney]

Do they have a set number of spots that they fill per division? Do you happen to know what that number would be?

Thanks again,
Kim and Sydney

[hershey kiss]

Kim they well take the top 12 pre division pre how far your dog jumps
