[MuddyPaws]

We are having our first Splash Dogs event in Fort Myers, Florida!!
November 16-18, 2007

Registration is now open!

Want information about the event - Splash Dogs has info on the event page and you can go to http://www.SWFLDogDiving.com/info.htm

The Dog Olympics are "extra" events which are ALOT of fun!

We will also be particpating in the drive to "Chase" Away Canine Cancer in memory of fallen Fort Myers Police Canine Konig who died from complications of cancer. For a memorial video go to http://www.Muddy-Paws.net.

[JAKE255]

Hey we are Registered, bring on the Super vertical, Ellie said she gonna smoke the swimming raise, shes still upset with second place after having to race 4 times in a row against a fresh pup. Grrrrrrr she says. Pepper just wants to see Blondie, he says Hubba hubba

[JAKE255]

For all my northern friends If you can get down for this one it will be well worth it, they run a great event, lots of fun, Jen and Deanie are coordinating it, so its gotta be good. Carly good fishing your Husband could hit Lake Okeechobee.

[MollyBGoode]

It's hard to beat Fort Myers in November!!

Perfect weather, a great beach and a fun event. What more could you want??

Jake...when are you headed down??

[MickeyD'sMom]

What a wonderful tribute to a courageous dog!!! Thanks for sharing! Didn't have a dry eye on that one.

[MuddyPaws]

What a wonderful tribute to a courageous dog!!! Thanks for sharing! Didn't have a dry eye on that one.

Thank you - it's always hard to say goodbye...he is forever missed...

[JAKE255]

Marty Im going down on that friday, offer a little help to Jen with setting up, Jen ya;ll need to get some more EV dawgs down there now since Hershey retiring from the high jumps. Poor guy he loves it so much too, but like Deanie said let him get the low ones. Kelsey was doing really good, Tracker would do well too. When is Alex starting EV. Nog and Dax gonna be there? I can pick up Nog if Terri needs me to! Hey what about the Cajun boys, Mike and ??? I always forget the other guys name. Jen I need to know what type of stuff you need for prizes, all of our gear says Dockdogs, but we wanna bring some stuff.

[MollyBGoode]

Jake,

I'll see if I can get Friday and Monday off and help out also. I think Marge is going to fly down for the weekend so we will have another handler down there.

[JAKE255]

okay all you Florida Dawgs, Georgia Air Dawgs coming to town, Time for some trash talking. Pepper, Molly and Ellie will be the leading the way with a whole heard of new Dawgs coming to play. Were bringing Sally Sue, Katie, and Dexi.

Now for some trash talking, Remember our rematch, Molly and Pepper said that the Florida dogs are in deep doo-doo come show time. Molly said Nog had better bring his A game.

Can't wait to see ya'll its gonna be a blast.

[MuddyPaws]

Jake come down on Thursday!!!!

Alex will be more than happy to keep everyone wondering what's under the dock while they are flying over him with EV...maybe Jake can teach Alex about EV....

Terri will let you know about Nog...that'll be nice to see him again!

I'll have little Muddy Puppy then too...he gets to play Splash Dogs Mascot!

Dax will be talking trash back at ya!

[doctee]

Hey Molly, we are going to be back on the black matts so don't count out the old girl Dax. She is actually more consistant on the black matts than Nog. She has a prettier face than Nog also.

Jake, I will probably have you pick up Nog for me if you don't mind. He loves jumping off the dock. Jen is getting my website updated and I loaded some cool pictures of Nog. www.docteeslabs.com

Terri

[MollyBGoode]

We are going to pull up the carpet and coat the dock with oil so we have a surface similar to the black mats to practice on!!

Molly says pick you surface...it won't matter.

Game On !!

[JAKE255]

Jen I may come down on thursday, we just got the word our detail is ending nov 15th, We can get Alex going on EV. deanie told me she is going to retire Hershey from the High EV jumps, but jump him at the lower ones, I was bummed but at the same time its the right decision. Terri no problem on picking up Nog. Where did you guys get that black mat at, Looking to get
Pepper ready for EV. I think the record for splash dogs is 7'06" We wanna try and break it in Florida. I would like to get a black mat just to keep the water off of the wood.

Molly gonna take care of the Big Air with the Florida crew, followed by Sally Sue(ten month old chocolate that is jumping huge.)

Now Since Hershey is just doing EV for fun times, who all will be doing EV, Kelsey was doing well, Dax, Nog??? Are the Cajun folk coming? Pepper wants everyone to do EV.

[JAKE255]

Hey what about Huntsville about 2-3 hours from us in Atl, should be a good event, Do I hear road trip?

[MollyBGoode]

Huntsville sounds good..when is it??

We get company in the winter and will have to plan around that. Work is winding down so that's no problem anymore.

I'm already looking forward to Beans from the Smokin' Pit BBQ!!

Man...I miss that good FL tourist food !!

[JAKE255]

oct 31, super retreiver series, win big money

[JAKE255]

Hey lets have a barking contest between Dax and Molly most barks in a minute wins, that would be fun, I wouldn't know who to bet on

[JAKE255]

Hey Marty I was checking out the event they are having a seperate event where the dog has to catch it, thats right up molly's alley.

[JAKE255]

Hey Marty since im not doing Nationals I see that Uad is also having the event in Sarasota on oct 27th(its just a 1 day event) If you like the Pittsburg event maybe ill go down to this one and drag all the florida crew back up here Halloween in Huntsville.

[MollyBGoode]

I'll have to see how much time off I can take. Sarasota would be fun too...we will have to figure out how to make all these trips!!

[JAKE255]

and they got EV or SV or UV what ever its called

[MuddyPaws]

The Florida crew is going to Sarasota!

[MuddyPaws]

We have a new event for the Dog Olympics - how many dogs can you handle on the dock at once???

date and time to be announced....

[MollyBGoode]

Hey Florida Crew,

Maybe someone can post a little bit more about the "Dog Olympic" events that are going on also. Maybe this is something other people would like to add into thier events.

[doctee]

Dog olympics include a speed retrieve, a speed swim, fastest dog on the dock, jump with catch. Kind of like what we did at the Hurricane bowl. We made a couple changes and humans can still get in on the speed swim so Jake you better start swimming laps.

Jake how are you going to count Dax's barks when it changes to her bitching bark?

[JAKE255]

Handler has to count their dawgs barks while the rest of us hold our ears, Jen I may try to make this event I wanna be able to say ive tried the main organizations. I may even do some big air, with the big fella. Hey he went 3 days without wetting the bed woohoo, medicine finally working I think(knock on wood) Ellie is ready for the speed swim this year. poor girl went 4 times in a row last year and lost by inchs. As for my butt swimming, I think ill guard the beer.(tough job but somebody has to do it)

[JAKE255]

What about Alabama, is anybody interested, I know Team Casco mentioned it.

[MollyBGoode]

Alabama might work...It's pretty close for us.

Will Al and Hannah be running at the Dog Olympics??

That one FAST pup!! I don't know if Molly can keep in close in a race with her or not. We might have to bring a whippet...

[doctee]

Molly is going to have to watch out for Hannah's half sister. Tribble is getting a break from training and will be home for the Turkey Splash. Maybe I can teach her to chase it off the dock before Nov.

Guess what Jake, the dock is under water half way and we have raised it twice already. All the rain the last 2 weeks has filled my pond to capacity. Wait until you see how big the pond is now. I won't have to have water trucked in this time. That swim across the pond will be long. We may have to switch the direction and swim the short distance across.

I would love to go to Alabama and I could pick up Nog on the way but money is keeping me from doing a whole lot right now.

[MollyBGoode]

Watch out for Hannah's half sister?? Why...does she bite??

It should be interesting to see Tribble...it's been a while.

Do I dare ask how many dogs you have there days??

[doctee]

She might be as fast as Hannah. She would rather snuggle or manipulate than bite. I haven't gotten a new dog in a year and a half. As soon as Trek and Kela come into heat I am breeding both of them. I would love to keep one out of Trek and Nog but I need to depopulate before I can keep another. We'll see.

[JAKE255]

Molly 33mph today on dock, rocky was to sllow to register, Pepper 3 jumps over 7ft, Ya'll in the south better get ready, lets hear some results on your dawgs, gotta know who to start talking smack too. Deanie said there is a big EV dawg, Do tell???

[MuddyPaws]

maybe we should keep it a secret?

Mascot will be arriving on Wednesday!

go to www.Muddy-Paws.net/muddypuppy.htm for pictures! :)

[JAKE255]

Jen which Pup is yours? and it looks like We may try to go to Sarasota event.

[MollyBGoode]

Jake,

Maybe them dawgs down threre have cleats so they don'y slip on that old rubber mat?? I think that's their only hope....Sally is ready to roll too.

EV/UV/AV wahtever they call it....Pepper's the top Dawg!!

[JAKE255]

I like the cleats comment, Marty. Sally keeps going the way she is going,Pepper gonna have a hard time. Kelsey is probably their EV dawg, he did very well for first time in Roanoak. Browning gonna be there too, he is good for 7 ft. I hope alot of dogs do it. Hey Jen/Terrie/Deanie I saw on the schedule the swap handler thing, not sure if everyone would play that for big air. Probably better for the EV dawgs. Here is something for ya if Pepper hits 7'06 I will donate $100 smackers to the chase(you should also send an invite to Dave Clausen In Cali, he is the chase guru) Here is something else we can do if ya want, sell jumps with the EV dawgs donations to the chase $5 bucks a jump. incentive would be a free Atlanta shirt for Pepper if they can get him over 7 ft.

[JAKE255]

Are ya'll cooking a hog, Turkey. If not we gonna do a pot luck sorta thing, If someone got a barrel for ice I can bring my co2 tap for a keg, and we will pick up a keg. There will no Jack Daniels drinking, I repeat No Jack Daniels drinking. Let us know whatcha ya'll need, we sending Deanie prize goodies in next couple of weeks

[MuddyPaws]

I'm paying people to handle Alex! (just kidding maybe...) I'll donate to Chase Away Cancer for those who can handle Alex to jump over 18 feet...he can do it!!! Changing handlers is totally for fun...of course best jump wins the cash.

We are having a cookout on Saturday evening - we will have the meat - side dishes/desserts will be pot luck - I have no control over beverages - if you would like to bring the keg we will have/make room.

No Freida to hide from Deanie and JT!

Please invite EVERYBODY! Especially those I haven't met!!!

The mascot will be determined on Wednesday!! I can't wait! He will be in Sarasota as well! That will be nice to see you there too - will you be adding your tent to ours??

[JAKE255]

Cool sounds like fun, Marty is planning on going to Sarasota now that his work has slowed down damn he works more than i do

[JAKE255]

our entire georgia crew is coming and were working on Chris/bear(25 footer, he is super elite now) Tiffany with Angus and Chaos. I have spread the word to the northern folk but havent heard back yet,

[MollyBGoode]

Sounds like this will be a good time!!

We are still working on the Sarasota event...I'll have to check out things at work a little closer to the actual date.

[ChocolateDawg]

okay....we should be registered this week. Sally is getting on her game face. She's soooooooo ready!!:) So are Bill and I!!

I'm sure Molly, Pepper, Ellie, and Sally will show 'em all how it's done in Jawga!

BTW, that Pepper sure has it made with all these pretty girls all around him.:cool: What a stud muffin!;)

[SkyHawk515]

Yep, she's on the way, so hold onto somethin' solid!

[SkyHawk515]

This is Sally.

[SkyHawk515]

This is Sally.

[MuddyPaws]

You do realize we have a secret weapon right??

We just don't know what it is yet.....haha....GREAT PICS

[JAKE255]

Well we are back, What a great event, we tied Reggie at 7'02". I cannot wait for this event, Nancy I will be bringing information on Sunday about the Florida event. Jen we have a secret weapon called "BEAR" he won the outdoor channel big air with a 25'09", Also Tiffany is gonna try to come from SC with Angus and Chaos.

[JAKE255]

Dave Clausen gave me a Donation vest for the chase, I'm gonna have Rocky Wear it and we can rotate it around, our best bet would be Jens new pup wearing it.

[doctee]

It looks like we are going to have more competitors for this event than the Hurricane bowl. Just get ready for bragging rights for fastest dog on the dock and this time the jump distance will count, a speed swim(Tribble is home and she is a fast little swimmer), and the land speed retrieve. There will be a $5 entry fee for all the dog olympic events, winner take all. It was a blast at the Hurricane Bowl and this one will be better.

I'm sure Nog will be jumping well as long as Jake doesn't forget to stop and pick him up.

[ChocolateDawg]

If I were y'all down there in Ft. Myers, I'd definitely be afraid....very, very afraid...of this dog! Here's Sally at here most intense moment:
http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w96/nancyakin/08smcaption.jpg

I couldn't help ROFLMAO at this pic!:eek:

[MuddyPaws]

I will have the FASTEST puppy on the dock! :)

[JAKE255]

Ellie says bring on trouble,oops she means tribble. it will be up to Sally and Molly for the speed retreive and dock speed.Nog Who???? So whats the bet here,lets say top dawg in big air and vertical, there will be no tie this time, if their is a tie the handlers are jumping. I can't wait were gonna have a blast. Terri I haven't heard from the girls up north if they are gonna be able to make it so we may have more. I think Tiffany and Chris are coming, If Chris comes he is with our club (hee hee) We get Tiffany with Angus and Chaos too.

How many dawgs are registered, Hey can someone see if Mike an dBrowning are going to SRS.

[SkyHawk515]

[doctee]

Tribble is the Trouble with lil' Tribbles and she has been nothing but trouble since she got home.

I think we should add the vertical results with the big air result to get the top dog so we won't have push you in the pond because I know you won't jump on your own.

So you forgot who Nog is already. He will be devastated and won't leave you alone until you won't forget him and that will be his torture to you. Believe me he can a pain in the you know what when he wants attention.

Since I don't know how to post pictures here, Sally needs to go see her competition at www.docteeslabs.com/nog.htm to see Nog and www.santabarbaraanimalhospital.com/doctor.htm to see Dax and Trek

[ChocolateDawg]

Looked at the Santa Barbara website. I don't think Sally's going to have any problem jumping further....or higher....than those cats!;)

Seriously, those are some good looking dogs!

Sally speeding down the dock. The tongue acts as her front rudder.

[MuddyPaws]

Puppy pictures are available at www.Muddy-Paws.net look at DUSTIN!!!

He is already practicing in his pool!!! :)

[JAKE255]

Nancy/Bill Terri has at least 12 dawgs at any given time, wait till you see her setup.

[JAKE255]

Jen, Dustin and Alex look like best of buds. Hey Dustin needs to wear the chase vest, he will make big bucks for the chase.

[doctee]

Jake, you just made me realize I may have 11 of my dogs home for the Turkey Splash. I don't think I have ever had that many at home at 1 time. It may be a free for all during the Turkey Splash like it was at your house when we all came through but my pool is for humans and the pond is for the dogs.

[MuddyPaws]

Dustin will be a little too small for the vest - already tried...

The newest SW Florida Team ;)

[JAKE255]

lol not in a month that little rascal will grow quick.

[Shiner Bock]

Hey, Shiner met you guys at Roanoke this summer! Wish we could come, but we're making the trip to AZ to Cynosports. Don't know if we can manage both. If we can't come this time, we'll try for the NEXT Florida event!

Wendy and Shiner Gibson

[jwd4]

I have a 2 1/2 yr old german short hair and am looking for her first chance to compete. It would also be the first time for my son and I to compete. I am looking for suggestions on where to start. I know she can jump, but have had to opportunity to get a real distance on her.

[MuddyPaws]

JWD4

[JAKE255]

Jen quit being stingy with my(oops)your Dustins Pictures, I love em there all great. Dustin wouldn't you like to move to Georgia With Ellie and Pepper. Rumor has it Hershey can drive, Pepper says bring Blondie. Pepper has got a Harem now but all his girls wanna do is Dockdive, So he has to get his groove on with the couch.(anybody wanna a couch) Terri I am probably coming down on Thursday, can I pick up Nog then. I think im going to Sarasota, Marty and Moly had a blast in Pittsburg at an ultimate air event. I don't think their gonna make Sarasota, but I know Marty is planning on Turkey fest. Hey Marty Your Mechanical device has helped Pepper big time(wait till you see)

[jwd4]

[MuddyPaws]

JWD4

Take a vacation - come to Florida Nov 16-18!!!

[MollyBGoode]

Jake,

How long will Pepper have to stay out of the water after he gets that thing cut off??

[JAKE255]

10-14 days, he was in pain last nite but toughed it out, no pain today but he had his pain pill. I doubt he will be going to sarasota and maybe on huntsville, just depends on how well it heals.

[jwd4]

What about Alabama, is anybody interested, I know Team Casco mentioned it.

when and what type of competion. I am looking for the first competion for my son and his dog. Looking for help in finding something close to Indiana. Can you help?

[jwd4]

:evil:JWD4

Take a vacation - come to Florida Nov 16-18!!!

Can't find flights to fit my schedule. Also, I have never taken a dog on a plane. Is there an extra charge?

[JAKE255]

The Alabama event is a super retreiver series, it is in Huntsville Alabama , on the 2nd and 3rd of Nov. This will be a good event but the Florida event will be alot more fun. There are a couple of junior handlers(daniel) down there so your son could kinda hang with them during off time. Lots of extra events in the dawg olympics too. Plus it will get ya in some warmer weather. There is a club event coming up in Nov in Deleware with the Delmar Dockdog club.

[JAKE255]

Terri, Deanie said you needed my phone number 770-312-9610, county cell 770-527-7175. County cell sometimes wont let long distance numbers through, usually it does, between 6pm -4am im working I have both with me. Sleepy time is 4am -noon. you can call me anytime except sleepy time cause its like waking the dead.

[JAKE255]

Nog is going to SRS and I get to jump him in Vertical wooooohoooooo, get that boy his 6 ft jump this time.

[MuddyPaws]

You might have a few more at SRS - working out the details this weekend!!

NO YOU CAN'T NAB DUSTIN! :)

[JAKE255]

Hershey has the escape plans, he may not have a license but neither do all of the illegals here in Georgia, so he will blend right in. Hershey get all your buds Dustin,Alex,Trek,Jackie,Lightning, Oh and Pepper said not to forget Blondie.

[MuddyPaws]

Well you have 2 more going!!

Kelsey and Alex!!!

Dustin might stay home to prepare for the big event... ;)

[JAKE255]

My House is open to ya, I'm 3 hours away,talked to Terri and Deanie and I know both are dying to go.Terri cant cause she is running her dogs at Okeechobee, Deanie just needs to catch a cold. What about Maggie Roo,Casco,Jackie

[SkyHawk515]

Sally gives Chocolate Dawg a large hug during a break in practice on Sunday.

[MuddyPaws]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

This is Alex giving his little brother a hug... ;)

http://www.Muddy-Paws.net/DustinAlexHug.jpg

[JAKE255]

Sally Suu had her first run in with a bark collar, She didn't like it much. We got to see her loving side, she wouldn't go to far from Momma, Funny all labs tend to have the sweet side and a play side. When does she leave for School?

Alex look after Dustin until i get you two up here, Don't tell momma your gonna stay up here.

Jen what day you coming up for Huntsville?

[JAKE255]

I think the Dawg Olympics needs to have a barking contest, which ever dawg barks the most in 30 seconds, Molly and Trek will be awesome at it.

[ChocolateDawg]

Sally Suu had her first run in with a bark collar, She didn't like it much. We got to see her loving side, she wouldn't go to far from Momma, Funny all labs tend to have the sweet side and a play side. When does she leave for School?



We're not sure. Bill and I are going out to take a look at the training camp today. We'll know more then. I know it will be a great thing for her, but I honestly don't know if I can go 2 whole weeks without her!!!!!:(

[doctee]

It's Dax that Molly has the barking match with. Trek is an angel when it comes to waiting her turn. It is always hard to send your dogs off to boot camp as my staff calls it. But it so nice when they come back angels. Dax never went to boot camp and you can tell.

Jake, I let Kristie know about you picking Nog up for Huntsville. I haven't heard back from her yet but let me know when you will be heading that way so I can let her know. If one of you guys qualifies him for the crown does that mean I won't be able to handle him there. I guess this will have to be a question for Shannon.

[JAKE255]

So far only 3 dawgs (i think for EV) so if he can beat 1 of em, your in. Pepper,Browning,and Brents dawg. lots of possibles though, I know little Kita(shes big now, why do i say that) is close and may come. Anybody have Blains phone number? He sent me an email about 2 months ago but it was blank.




I know how ya feel Nancy, I left Ellie for 14 months, but it well worth it she came back and earned her junior hunt title and was a bumper nut. 2 weeks won't be bad, make sure when you go to pick her up that the trainers show you all of the details, she is smart so she will do just fine.

[MuddyPaws]

Jake we're thinking of being there Thursday night - are you coming to Sarasota?

[JAKE255]

cool ya'll are gonna crash here thursday right? Vet gave me a no go on Pepper this saturday, his stitches come out monday. Who all is coming, you a nd Susan? Deanie and Terry? Its killing Terry not to be coming up, Deanie needs to call in sick. Is Dustin coming or is he staying home.

[MuddyPaws]

working out all the details....I'll call you as soon as I know

[JAKE255]

Congrats to all of our Florida Dawgeez, Congrats to Mr. lightning heard you won Big air or Ultimate air. Molly gonna bring her A game to ya in November. I am totally bummed that the EV pole broke(whats up with that) Pepper needed that scouting report, he heard a rumor that Tracker and Kelsey are some high flyers. Special Congradulations go out to my favorite lab Jackie who won the catching contest.

Wish we could of made it,but we got Srs to prepare for and have had no training time due to stitches. I'm still not too sure about Ultimate air, but now I have talked to 2 seperate people who said it was a blast at 2 seperate e vents. Maybe one day.

[Cheese Dogs]

Terri,
You are letting some one else handle Nog?? WOW! You better be sending my Kern up there too so I can get him qualified. Re-count for Super V.
Nog, Pepper, Kita, whatever brent thinks he has, Browning, Colby, Brie and Kern.

[JAKE255]

Sweet I love it when there are alot of big jumping dawgs, Is that Colby the same World record Holder? We can finally stART TRAINING AGAIN stitches come out tomorow, Terri we still good to pick Nog up Wednesday morning?

[Cheese Dogs]

That's my boy!!
I can't wait to finally meet you. Anyone who Terri trusts enough to jump Nog must be a great person. We are hoping to add one of the Alexander Clan to the cheese family as soon as Trek goes into heat!! HURRY UP TREK!!!!!!!!!!!

ummm more cheese names???
Munster?
Monterey Jack?

[JAKE255]

Wow we finally get to meet you now we will have met all the world record holders. Looks like EV will be quite fun. Jen your splash dawg photos are awesome. Lori will becoming too and for safety sake wants to stay at the same hotel, what hotel are we at? Love the new photos.

[Asquared]

Cool, glad some dogs finally signed up for EV. See you all soon.

Alex & Abby Jo

[MuddyPaws]

hotel for Huntsville or Fort Myers??

[JAKE255]

huntsville

[doctee]

Anna, neither Trek or Kela are in heat yet. They are driving me nuts. Kern is in training in North Carolina and will not be making the trip to Huntsville. Nog is in Georgia 24 miles from the Alabama border so he is on the way for Jake to pick up. I just got back from NC to pick up Mudd and see Kern so I had a lot of driving time to try and decide what to do with Nog. He will miss some training with the retriever trainer by going to Huntsville and I was about ready to let him go with her but I talked to Brent in the last 100 miles of the trip and now I'm not sure again. Jake is to 100% take care of Nog and he will be doing the vertical with him but Brent is going to handle him in super air. Brent is not to be left alone with my dog. Does everyone understand this?

Jake you better call me on my cell tomorrow. I would rather you pick Nog up on Wed. night at the earliest. He needs the retriever training most. I guess his son hit 6'2" today on my dock while I was away. I think this has become a community house.

Astrotuf is up and Dax is chomping to get a grip on the dock again. The old girl just might put up some good numbers for the Turkey Splash. Mudd will get to take a stab at it. Maybe I can teach her to chase it before then. She is almost as little as Tribble and a very cute chocolate puddle of mudd. She is a senior hunter at 18 months of age. I'm very proud of her. I am going to work on the master level here at home with her.

[daftershock]

LOL BRENT is not to be left alone with NOG..... Why I just got off the phone with that boy. RD missing again. Well, Brent was going to pick him up somewhere.

I wish RD would just catch a train to Calif. Have a life of fun in the sun. If there is no wildfires....lol

Anna ~ just remember to BREATH... Oh yea and pick up some FLUBBER on the way down. That stuff really works.

[doctee]

RD can't even find his way to Florida.

NEWS FLASH - Trek is in heat. Nog has to find his way back to Florida in the next 10 days. I doubt Kela is far behind. I'm sure she will come into heat on my way to the hunt test this weekend or wait until the last series and have to scratch her then.

[JAKE255]

Brent, can you watch Nog while I'm jumping Pepper, just kidding Terri. Mellisa It is good to hear from you, glad you are okay. I hope all your critters and property are safe and sound. Are you gonna come to any more of the Srs series. Mellisa you need to come to Florida for the Turkey splash.Terru Lets jump on the astro turf for the Turkey Splash.

[doctee]

My biggest concern is that Blind Cajun Boy mixing up Nog and Browning again. Between Brent and Mike, I am very concerned about Nog. Brent will probably lose him and Mike will send me Browning home instead of Nog. Jake is going to have to keep an eye on things. I told him it was OK to put an N on Nog again if he wants to keep them straight. Now, I just have to figure out how to get him home since I will be at a hunt test this weekend.

Jake, sorry about the turf for the turkey splash but the club voted to take it up and use the matts. You might be surprised and Pepper might like it better since he can get a better grip on it.

[MuddyPaws]

Jake - CHECK YOUR MESSAGES!

15 days to go!!!!!!!!!

[JAKE255]

i got 32 messages are you serious??? Jen bill and Nancy can't make it now Sally Sue will be in School. Marty and I are coming up, we are leaving thursday night, hopefully after the Terre Haught event is aired

[JAKE255]

Oh and im bad about alot of things, checking messages, checking emails. Terri said ya'll arent coming, I'm totally bummed wanted to see Alex and Kelsea jump. oh well we will see you all real soon.

[MollyBGoode]

Terri,

How did you mark Nog before...didn't you shave him or something??

I remeber the first time we met you in Cape Coral one of your dogs had his name marked on him and you told us the blind cajun boy story.

Jake and I are hoping for a re-count on the turf vote. What kind of bribes are acceptable for the club down there??

[JAKE255]

I have strict orders from terri if I want to jump Nog , I have to shave an "N" on him. I am not allowed to jump him unless I do. Sooooooo.... Nog now has a small "N" on his rump. He is not happy about it. Marty Nog was flying pretty far at the house, Molly gonna have her work cut out for her, should be a good match up. Im guessing he was almost 24ft,using Marty's Mechanics. Ohhhh wait a minute or was that Pepper. Hmmmmm I forgot one of those 2 was hitting 23s quite easily. Terri I got him to 6four at the house, but he keeps stepping off differently so I cant find a good starting point. Today he only hit 6even. His start point is somewhere between 14ft and 16ft. He had some good Big air jumps enough to make him a contender.

Anyway I'll be leaving Atl tonight at O'dark30, should be there by 8 or so.there letting some dawgs jump for free due to a bunch of kids being there(gawd I hate kids). I'll holler at ya'll tonight.

Bear gonna be the Dawg to beat(nothing new) Depending on who shows up for Distance jumping I may enter Pepper in the pros. Wish Moly could make it, ya know ya could have Mom and Dad come over Saturday, only a three hour drive.

[MollyBGoode]

3 hours each way sounds like too much right now with 2 other trips planned this month. I think I am going to have to work Sunday also. The Turkey Splash is it for us then we are done for a while.

Sounds like Big Goofy Pepper found his groove!! He's a high flyer...now he's puttin' it all together. Give us a call with updates from AL and I can post them here.

[JAKE255]

omly groove Pepper has is when he gets his groove on with the couch, or lately my arm when im picking something up. Had to smack him on the good side of his butt for that.

[doctee]

Sorry Marty but the vote was 11-1 against the turf.

I shaved "N"s on both sides of his hips and I found a picture with it still shaved and I am going to try and post it here. I will have to get help with this because I can't get this right so you can see the "N".

Mike can't tell the difference between Nog and Browning unless Nog is marked.

[MollyBGoode]

11-1....only (1) 12 pack voted??

[doctee]

After Nog's injury in huntsville are you sure you really want us to put down the astroturf. Mike is trying to get video of his jump, but I have a feeling his foot slipped and twisted his leg. I was hoping he would be able to jump in the Turkey Splash and now I don't know. I'm not sure how much of a repair I am going to have to do on his knee. I need to x-ray it but I think it just tore his joint capsule and I may just have to suture that back together. I hope it doesn't end his career on the dock. I wanted him for the SRS to run all of it but now I don't know if I want him running on the astroturf or not.

[JAKE255]

Marty we are the Guest we should get the choice huh. Terry my damn cell phone died while i was talking at ya. I'm glad it is not a Heriditary issue. Atheletes get hurt once in a while he will bounce right back. I didn't see the jump so i dont know if he slipped or not. We were talking about all of the injuries to human atheletes on astroturf, most all of the injuries are from too much traction and the knee turning to much due to cleats digging in getting traction. Those are not caused from running straight but the quick cuts where a cleat really digs in. I'm glad he is okay hope he can jump in 2 weeks.

[doctee]

Yea but the dogs don't have spikes on the pads of their feet to get a grip in the astroturf.
I radiographed Nog's knee today and fortunately it is only his patella and not his cruciate also. There is a chance that it might heal on its own but if it doesn't I risk the possibility of the mechanics of his leg getting screwed up. I am probably going to fix it tomorrow and hopefully he will be ready to breed with Trek by Friday or Sat. This wouldn't kill me so much if he would have picked a different time to to go and do something like this. I don't know if he will be able to jump in the Turkey Splash but if I get it done tomorrow he might be ready.

[Asquared]

I didn't see the jump so i dont know if he slipped or not.


I happened to get Nog's jump on tape, and his take off was fine, but in the air, you can see his knee pop. I've watched it about 20 times and it makes me kind of queasy. I'm so glad he is ok.

[daftershock]

DocT sorry to hear about Nog. Well I am sure you will have him back injury free as quick as you can.

Best of luck

[MuddyPaws]

I happened to get Nog's jump on tape, and his take off was fine, but in the air, you can see his knee pop. I've watched it about 20 times and it makes me kind of queasy. I'm so glad he is ok.

What are the chances of getting the tape??

[Asquared]

What are the chances of getting the tape??

Here you go.

Download the clip. At :16 is where you see his knee pop. You will probably have to watch it a few times but it is there.

[doctee]

I repaired Nog's leg yesterday. He tore the lateral retinaculum which is a connective tissue that prevents lateral movement of the joint. He had to have twisted his leg on take off and then his patella popped off shortly afterward. The retinaculum is a very tough connective tissue and it takes a lot of force to tear it. I stewed about waiting and seeing if it would heal on its own but I don't think it would of after seeing the tear.

I was so concerned that Brent would lose him or Mike would send me the wrong dog, I didn't think they were going to break him. And then Jake was supposed to keep an eye on everything.

[JAKE255]

Terry we were all scared he would beat us in Florida, How is ol boy doing,,he got weight on it yet.Maybe Trek could be on top;)

[doctee]

He's weight bearing on it today. Usually I don't let dogs use a leg much after having a joint open but usually those dogs have abnormal joints. Nog's leg confirmation is good and I didn't have to open his whole joint so should heal pretty fast. I don't know that he will be able to jump in the Turkey splash.

[SkyHawk515]

Sorry to hear about your dog's injury, Terri. Here's hoping that he'll be back in form soon!

Sally sends her best wishes!!

[JAKE255]

Sally Suuuuuuuuuu where r uuuuuuuuu, we miss you hurry up and come jump

[SkyHawk515]

She'll be home in 10 days, ready to show off her training!:rolleyes:

[doctee]

Looks like the leg injury screwed up hi brain. He seems to have forgotten how to breed to Trek. He is going to force me to AI them.

[JAKE255]

He wants Trek on top

[JAKE255]

When will the turkey Splash be here??? I can't wait!!! Talked to Lori Today looks like it will just be us from Georgia. Sally Suuuuuu in School, Marty and Marge wont be able to make it, They are going to go up to be with Marges sister and family.

Terry remember I told ya the mother load, oh it was more than 5 pounds of dope, check out your dockdogs I/M, gives you all the totals, I didn't get home untill 10:30am, but it was well worth it.

[Team Lightning]

Hey Jake since you took Nog out of competition Tracker is stepping it up hitting 6'6" after a full day of practice.:rolleyes:

[JAKE255]

Hey thats awesome, tell the old man I told him so, That is fantastic, I bet he can go higher though. Hey the former World record Holder Colby is coming, Cant wait to jump against him, he is one high flyer. How many SV Dawgs are jumping? im gonna jump Ellie and I may enter Rocky(he wont jump) just to bring the height up in Normal 2 inch increments.Last 2 events we have had to start at 6ft instead of 6ten, he has been running up and not jumping, I got some ideas to fix that though. I hear Lightning is hitting 6 footers too?

[doctee]

I am having this event on my own property and I think I have the lowest number of dogs here to compete. I don't really think that Nog will be ready to jump. He is making his leg sore following Trek all over the place. (By the way he did figure it out again. Trek didn't have to get on top.) Kela and Trek are going to spend the weekend at the clinic. I need Mogh there to breed with Kela, Martok and Vash are pretty much done with jumping with cruciate ruptures and toe dislocations. Kern is up at training and Tribble and Mudd just came home from training and I have never taught either one to chase it. So, that leaves poor old Dax to represent the Alexander team. Mudd and Tribble will get to jump for fun.

[MuddyPaws]

If you are coming to the event and need info - please email me
Jen@Muddy-Paws.net

I hope everyone has a safe trip!

Be safe

[JAKE255]

Okay I will be leaving thursday am, crashing at mi Madre's and be at event early friday morning, I will then start drinking heavily with Jt.(just kidding no drinky drinks till night time)

[MollyBGoode]

We can't make it but Ya'll have fun !!

[MuddyPaws]

Sorry to hear you can't make it...

If you need anything please let us know!

Be safe

Alex and Dustin give kissses!

[Cheese Dogs]

Terri,
I am going to the kennel and taking Kern. I can't believe I am finally coming to Florida and I am not going to see him!! Bummer!!!!!!!!! It will be less Alexander dogs then come to SRS!!!!!! Just let me break him out for the weekend!!!! We have to get him to 7 feet in vertical!
Anna

[doctee]

Anna, Kela and Mogh are working on making you your own Kern. The one in the kennel is mine.

[Cheese Dogs]

Tell Kela to hurry!!!!! Maybe I can name him Doctee's Return of the Kern
Anna

[JAKE255]

I bet big ol Kern could hit 7, right now I just hope Pepper jumps. 3 more days woohoo. I am so readyfor this one, havent seen most of you since Roanoak, Team Casco since.... I cant remember.

[MollyBGoode]

Any news from FL ??

[Asquared]

Bummer, no updates. I was hoping to hear how Pepper did!

[MollyBGoode]

I'm sure Jake will be posting something soon. He has along haul back today. I'm pretty sure Pepper was the Top Dawg in Vertical...not sure of the height.

We need some input from the FL crew..don't ya'll have computers down there?

[daftershock]

[LilDaisyLou]

Carly good fishing your Husband could hit Lake Okeechobee.


Thanks for thinking about us! Would have loved to escape to warmer weather! Hope y'all had a great time....I'm sure it was a wonderful event!!!

About the fishing though, silly Jake, that's the first weekend of Rifle season here! Good Luck tearing him out of the woods during hunting season.

[SkyHawk515]

Not knowing it is obviously a "felony" to do so, I posted a topic on Dock Dogs.com (Atlanta Dock Dogs) inquiring about the Ft Myers results. I got my wrist slapped publicly and untactfuly by the moderator for mentioning the Ft Myers event.

VERY STRANGE and completely unnecessary!

Bill Akin
Atlanta Dock Dogs

[MollyBGoode]

LMAO !!

Bill....it's sad but true.

We will discuss this at our Holiday party next month along with playing some pool and having some good eats & drinks. Jake and I have a few ideas for 2008. We have a great practice facility now we need to move foreward.

Talk to you soon !!

[ROCK]

1st Pepper 6'10

Barb and Rock

[MollyBGoode]

6' 1"

Good Job ROCK !!

Sorry we missed Ya'll down there...did Hanna when the speed retrieve??

[Team Casco]

Hi Marty!
Sorry we missed you.
Yes, Hannah won the speed retreive. She did awesome this w/e.
Hope next time you guys can make it.

[SkyHawk515]

What was Hannah's time? Just tryin' to see if our dog, Sally, can "compete" in speed retrieving.

[JAKE255]

Not sure but she is very fast, 2 years in a row She has won that race. Sally would definetly give her a run for the money but it would be tough to beat Hannah.

[MollyBGoode]

Good to hear Hannah is back on track !!

That's one fast dog Bill....I don't think Molly could beat her in a footrace. That doesn't mean we won't try though!!

We were disappointed we didn't get to see our FL friends, but family comes first. Hopefully we will see you next summer either here or another FL event!!

[renegade]

Event Results are now posted for the dock jumping portion of the turkey splash on the splash dogs event results page.

Also, titles, 2008 rankings (yes this event counted towards 2008 rankings) and breed records are updated.

[MuddyPaws]

Sorry to hear that about the DD website - I posted my feelings under Other Topics....

We had alot of fun and lots of people are interested in the sport...we gained alot of interest during the event...

I can tell you that there was alot of media coverage and the dogs looked like they were having a blast...go to http://www.nbc-2.com/articles/readarticle.asp?articleid=15845

I'm looking for the Dog Olympics results - got lost in the closing -

We had 3 dogs handled on the dock at once by one handler (2 different times) it was really cool to see!

Sorry if you missed our event...still working on the pictures!!

[JAKE255]

Okay so here I go, Brace yourself all.


First and foremost I really want to thank everybody for their thoughts,prayers, concerns fro Rocky during his little adventure, He still has not given me all the details and until he does he is grounded. I am just so glad to have him back, if I had lost him.... well I think everyone knows how I feel about him. For those of you who may not know my 78 year old mother asked if she could watch him, I agreed. She took him out to do his buisness she ha dhim on a retractable lead(mistake #1) and when she went to pick up his present he bolted and got lost on friday night. My family put out 400 flyers the next morning as I drove up to Orlando to check the trees and water ways. My search came back negative. We came to the conclusion someone had picked him up, so I headed back south. My family on their own handed out 600 more flyers. Well 5 minutes before SV They called and had my little boy. At this time SV didnt really matter to me. I cant thank everybody enough for their thoughts and special thanks to my family and my poor mom who was crying all weekend.

Now what a great event, fantatstic fun times, Ellie did not get to avenge her swim loss last year because the silly girl kept cheating, payback next year she says. Lots and lots of dawgs my favorite as always is Jackie with her acrobatic jumps and grace in the air. Casco is looking thinner and just as sexy always according to Pepper. Pepper did think Thunder was hot too though. Team Lightning looking good, I still say Tracker and Kelsee have super SV potential( find that starting point and stick to it that will build confidence) Anna pleasure to finally meet you and that World record holder Colby.Barb and Rock nice seeing you two I love the Rock.WOOOO WOOOOO I wish Pepper would bark like that. Richard and Ursala always a pleasure seeing you. Deanie and Pat fantastic work on the event and prizes. What a great meal we had thanks to all the cooks. Jen great seeing you an dyour brothers in blue put on a great show. JT you the man thanks for not breaking out any Jack. Lori from our club made it down and congrats to Dexi on her first ever event she improved every single jump. Terry your place rocks thank you for your hospitality. Congrats to all the competitors, I know I have probably missed a few people, so I apologize (im getting old)

You all down south should be very proud you put on a great show.

[Team Casco]

Hear Hear!
What a great event! Jake thanks for coming down, we are all so glad that Rocky is safe and sound. What a great turnout of folks from the North. We had Sysco from Ohio, Colby from Michigan, Rock from New York, Pepper & Ellie from Georgia along with other Georgia Air Dawg members. We had folks come all the way from Cape Coral too! (he he, you'll have to excuse Dano the announcer, he just got back from Vermont and gets his geography mixed up!)

Team Casco wants to personally thank all the behind the scene hard work that went into this production as well as the front line hard work too. All those gift bags were awesome, the raffles were crazy great, the sponsorship this time, incredible! All those extras that made it special (the cooks! 3 Turkeys!!, Pot Roast!, Beef Stew!!! appetizers, desserts, need I say more!) not to mention everyone that pitched in to clean up the messes we all made!!! A great club effort and team work. And of course none of it would have been possible without Terri's incredible donation of her property, home, time, and committment to this sport.

One last thing, I am exteremly impressed that Splash Dogs has the results up, the new titles, and the 2008 rankings 2 days after the event!! That is just great. Thanks Tony for coming down to FL!

Can't wait for the next one.

Cristin

[MollyBGoode]

Wish we could have made it....Molly is still mad at me.

Next year is looking better for events in the south. Keep on jumpin'

See Ya'll soon.

Terri...hope Nog is back on track.

[doctee]

Nog is in jail for the next 3-4 weeks. He tore the original repair I did on his knee. I used heavier suture this time and non-absorbable(not that the others had degenerated yet) this time. Of course the cage rest will help. This was a rare injury so I didn't really know if he needed the same cage rest as typical knee surgeries but this time I am treating it that way. Hopefully he will come back but I don't know if he will be competitive. It shouldn't stop him from getting his MH though, just delay it.

Hanna won the speed retrieve just over 14 seconds on a 65 yard retrieve. Tracker won the speed swim accross the pond. I don't remember who won the switch handler. Indigo won fastest dog on the dock(jump distance was added in this time). I want to thank everyone who let me borrow dogs since I was so dog poor this weekend. I'm proud of Indigo for being so fired up she was beside herself and Hanna for concentrating on the dock and not her daddy. My proudest moment was Duncan's slow and methodical swim across the pond twice in front of a whole bunch of people. At 12 years of age and 3 leg surgeries throughout his life to help him with his elbow and hip displasia, he was awesome. I love seeing him that happy.

I'm glad everyone had fun with the dog olympics. I wanted some competition but also some fun and I think that is what we got.

And most of all, I'm glad Rocky found his way back to his dad.

[MuddyPaws]

Susan won this event with Alex "Muddy Paws" with his best jump of the weekend of 18.07 - which is of course par for the course for Alex to always jump really good for others! I love that pup!

AND Don't forget

Fastest dog off the dock(not down the dock)/fastest puppy on the dock - Dustin Chasin' my muddy paws! Never on the dock longer than ohhhhhh 30 seconds and never jumped off yet!

But a brief TV star.... :)

Okay sorry I love my pups!!! ;)

Hope all of you have a great Turkey Day! :)

Be safe
Team Muddy Paws

[Team Casco]

And you forgot one ..............


Ok, so no one will toot my horn but I will. I won "how many dogs can you handle" with 4. Hershey, Alex, Casco, and Rock. But the best one was the three, (by myself, my competition needed like 3 handlers on the dock to achieve the same), Hershey, Alex, and Casco. They all stayed so well (except for creepy crawly miss Casco!) and when they blasted down the dock to chase, it was cool to say the least. Great fun. Next time I'll try 5, just have not decided who that 5th dog will be.

Cristin

[MuddyPaws]

actually I mentioned it but I honestly couldn't remember who had who other than Alex being good for you - I could remember who all you had - hope someone took pics of that!

I say you should try Alex, Casco, Hershey, Hanna and Kelsey for your five....

[Team Casco]

Good Stock, I will definately try at next practice!

[ROCK]

Cristen,

Toot Toot Away!! You did an Awesome job handling all those dogs. Boy was I impressed. But, I have to say that I think Rock might have been the lead creeper, inch by inch, foot by foot and then the others followed. Very cute. Handling Rock alone is a huge task, nevermind adding 3 more dogs into the mix. Did anyone get that on video?? That was some real fun stuff. Ask Terri, I said to her how impressed I was with your handling.

Now me on the other hand, boy did those dogs take advantage of my good nature!! What a disaster. My good buddy, Hershey who I thought would be the easiest, gave me the hardest time! He was attacking that LOOPIE.

--------------
Switching up handlers and dogs was a lot of fun. Cristen, thank you so much for allowing me to handle CASCO!! I really enjoyed her. It was so nice to have a dog actually sit and stay on the dock. We did pretty good too, 18 feet something for 2nd or 3rd. Casco is a great dog and she sure loves her Mommy!

Barb and Rock

[ROCK]

I want to send a big thank you to the entire SouthWest Florida Dock Diving Club. First off, thank you to Terri. Your place is beautiful, a doggie paradise and playground, lots of luck. Poor Rock would not let up on your lap pool, what torture! Your hospitality was the TOPS! Thank to Tony (for all your work and the laughs) and Dan for his announcing. The Dog Olympics was so much fun. Thanks to Jen and Susan for bringing out the K9 Unit.

Thank you to Jen, Deanie and Deanie's Mom-Pat for the raffles and the competitor baskets. Pat it was so nice to see you. You did a beautiful job with the competitor prizes. You girls rounded up some very nice Sponsors and prizes! Your hard work was much appreciated. Chris and I LOVE the print that we won in the raffle "comfort zone". Thank you to all the Club members working the registration... Ursula, Sean, Jen, Deanie, Pat, Terri, sorry if I misssed anyone.

Mom, Jen and I thank everyone involved with the Turkey Dinner. It was delicious!! I know Sean worked all day in the kitchen. Thank you Sean, Ursula, Ken, Pat and everyone else who contributed dishes.

We had such a wonderful time with our Florida friends. It was great seeing everyone again... The Weis' - Team Lightening, Jake/Pepper/Smiling..grrr Ellie (Sooo happy you got little Rocky home, safe and sound), Jen/Alex (he sure lives up to his name - MUDDY PAWS)/Dustin (what a little cutie in his t-shirt), Mike/Ilio, The Larsons, Anna/Colby, Ursula/Dick, Deanie/Hershey, Sean/Indigo, JT/SWEET Maggie Roooo, Susan/Kelsey, Sandy/Cisco, etc.

I was a real pleasure meeting new teams Christine/Cristin/Team Casco, Beverly/Cudda Mae and Jake's GA friend Lori/Dexie, etc.

Thank you Al Larson for your time taking photos. Looking forward to seeing some of great shots!

We had a memorable time... THANKS!!!

Oh one more thing, as Jen would say "Control Your Dog" ha ha

Peppers feeling were hurt, he would have sat and stayed all day, Probableeeee wouldnt have jumped but he would have stayed ;)

What a fun time Im still cominmg down from the high. Have a good thanks giving everybody. You did a fantastic job on that. Poor Alex is the only one who stayed.

[ROCK]

Here is the video clip from FOX News. I emailed them and they added the video on their site for us.

Mike and Ilio stole the show, nice!! Team Casco too! Nice interview with Terri.

Bummer Anna, Rock and Colby didn't make the cut in SV. They both looked sooo sharp in their K9 Top Coat Vests... Rock/Canidae.. Colby/Rogz. I emailed them to see if they could send any additional coverage, doubt it, but ya never know.

Waiting to hear back from Wink News/CBS.

Enjoy!!

Barb,
They did make the 10 o'clock news on channel 5. I watched it!!! I also emailed them to get a link. See you soon!!
Anna

PS I wanted to say thank you to all the SWDDC members. You all made me feel like I was one of the group!! Thats is what this sport is all about!!! I can't wait to come to another one of your events!!
Doc Tee- Give Martock and Mogh a big hug for me!!!!!!!! Way to go old boys!

[ROCK]

Anna,

Oh good, was that FOX News?? Wondering how many clips they have now. The FOX guy was there for so many hours and took lots of coverage. Let me know what you find out. Anna I am sending you an email.

Yes Terri, it was nice to see the Vets Martock and Mogh jumping. 8 years old right.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!

Barb and Rock

[MuddyPaws]

Alex is probably still at the end of the dock! haha!

Dustin was barking his toons this morning - I swear he took lessons from big Rock when he was on the dock!!!

From the Muddy Paws Team we hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! ;)

[Cheese Dogs]

Does anyone have pictures from the event????
Thanks
Anna

[ROCK]

He He, Alex get off the Dock it's Turkey Time!

Oh Jen, you didn't know that Rock and Dustin were playing and Woo, Wooing together??? It is contagious ya know, be careful.

You had Crystal holding Dustin. Well, Rock and him were talking up a storm. Rock was passing his D U C K (remember, a four letter word) to Dustin. Then I had Rock fetch it up. FEARLESS little Dustin was barking back and then snatched it back from Rock. Very cute, ask Crystal when you see her.

Barb and Rock

[MuddyPaws]

PICTURES are up www.Muddy-Paws.net

There were only 1579 pictures taken by Jen and Ken's camera - still looking for club members to donate to the cause so there will be more after this posting hopefully!

Enjoy!

[Lori&Dexie]

Just found this message board. Dexie and I are still in FL and will be back in Ga on Saturday (Think we will miss Sun practice) I also want to thank everyone for making us feel so welcome in our first event. We had a blast and are now hooked. Was really great to meet JT and his houla girl Maggie Roo as well as the rest of you. Thanks for great event and all the work everyone did to make it enjoyable. Finding Rocky, of course, was the highlight of the weekend.

[MollyBGoode]

Cristen,

You can add Molly to the group next time!!

I'm suprised you didn't use Pepper "The Satue"...Ellie drive's me nuts when I get her and Molly together. They are like two little kids seeing who can sneak the furthest.

Hope to see all you FL people next year!!

[Team Casco]

Yes, I wasn't planning to have to go more than 3, Pepper would be an excellent choice, maybe the other dogs would make him just go! Molly I am sure would be great too. It is fun to see them creep, Casco usually is not so competitive when around other dogs but on the dock for that event she wanted ME to throw that ball for HER to get it.
Anyway, I'll have to work up to a world record maybe. I think all of Alex's bro's and sisters would listen well too.
So much fun! Thanks for posting the video links Jen and Barb. Loved sharing it with my family up here on good ole Cape Cod today. Also, all those pic's Jen, and the poker one's are so funny. You should share those with all so they understand why we all had trouble getting up Sunday! Only the professional get uppers (aka, Jen, Jake and Terri!) were able to function so well with little sleep.
Well it will drop here tonight and feel like 20's tomorrow. Yikes, our Florida blood is way to thin to stay here for long. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Great to see you all this past weekend (and of course meet the Bard and the Rock!)
Adios!

OKAY IM A GOOBER WHEN IT COMES TO COMPUTERS WHERE ARE THE PICS I CANT FIND EM ON MUDDYPAWS, sorry for the caps too lazy to retype it

[JAKE255]

disregard last they on front page

[JAKE255]

Hey tony thanks for getting the SV updated, just one correction though, I am pretty sure we only went 6'10 instead of 7.

When is the next event Florida that was one of the best events I have been too. We are having A Xmas get together at Molly B goodes on Dec 9th to discusss our plans. We got enough people to now that maybe I dont have to be involved as much, can never find the time. Uad in Feb also DD is having an event in SC anybody interested from Florida.

[MollyBGoode]

Jake,

The SC event is the same weekend as the event in Jacksonville. I doubt the FL crew is going to drive past that event to support the SC event.

FL in FEB will be nicer weather anyhow....that's where we will be headed.

Holiday party plans are started...I'll send an e-mail to eveyone and get the details ironed out.

[Lori&Dexie]

Cool I would rather go to Jacksonville than SC myself. What kind of event is it?

[JAKE255]

cool, Lori will be back this weekend, we also have vince and his wife debbie, damn is it the same weekend, Nestle and Reggie are gonna be in Carolina, I love jumping against those 2 , we usually lose but its so fun competing against them. Looked at the schedule because DD is doing EV on Friday I can do both WOO HOO!!! Jacksonville is only 30 minutes or so further to, so no big deal travel time wise. Where are you Florida crew?

[hersheychoc]

Alot of people did so much Terri, Team Muddy Paws, Team Casco, Team Lighting, Barb & Rock for their help with donations, Jake for his donations, Tony for bringing Splash Dogs to FL. Ursel & Dick, our cook Shawn, Jen & Al for taking pic's,Dan, of course my mom, JT and all who supported the event. Sorry if I forgot anyone.

We're looking forward to our get-together. What part of metro Atlanta does Marty live in??

[MollyBGoode]

Bill,

We are in Duluth....I'll send you directions.

It's near the mall...a couple miles off of I-85

[Lori&Dexie]

Cool! Is there practice this Sunday? Elwood is ready! I talked to some local people and they are all for an event at Fort Benning. Would get lots of people as they are much more dog friendly than the rest of Columbus.

[JAKE255]

yes practice is on, I will have a nice big kennel for the dawgs too, I got your message about the female lab, I can pick her up if you want me too but zeke is being a handful right now so i cant keep her. let me know

[hersheychoc]

Jake
How many club members do you have now?

[JAKE255]

4 right now, 5 if you would ever move up here;) If not just send Hershey up. Hey all of you could move up here, now that would be fun.

[Lori&Dexie]

going to have to skip this week and take care of some things at home. The woman who had the lab did not want to give her up to rescue.

[doctee]

It's warmer down here Jake.

[MuddyPaws]

Dustin will be your long distance member - with of course Alex as his "big" brother!

[JAKE255]

Lori are you and Tom coming up, I sure hope so, should be alot of fun, and yes Zeke is exploring but not for long gonna buy a big kennel.

[JAKE255]

I guess this event was a success, 200 posts havent seen any close to 200. This event was one of the best I have been too, cant wait for next years.

[JAKE255]

201, sorry i was bored, lets see some more splash dogs here in the south

[MollyBGoode]

Jake,

I agree...it would be nice to have more events in the south. I have never been to a Splash Dogs event, but it sounds like it was a good time down in Ft Myers.
