Another fantastic shot that tells a wonderful story about Wags and our dock jumping community.

Notice the unmistakable generosity on Jim's face with MickeyD as they hosted their Wish Kid. (notice that MickeyD was sitting too!)

In the background, look at Melissa Ness (No doubt up there with Bubbles!) and Randy Woods as they find pleasure giving back to the Wish Kid they were hosting.

man oh man. I just came to the page tonight to post some info on some pending California legislation(very important to check it out) and saw this post and felt that hole in my heart open up again. It brought back some of the best memories of my life. I was at the Big K guest ranch. I fell off the dock in the finals and was dq'd. I went to the ESPN Great Outdoor Games in 05 with Sisko and Rob. It was awesome. I wish they would bring it back. I was at Washington and watched everyone in EV qualify for the GOG. I was in Dubuque Iowa with Todd and Gabe along the Mississippi River. Chief and I jumped with Jim and Sandra and Cash at the beginning of our wild ride in the dog jumping world. I really remember our sudden death jump off with Josh and Ace at Long Beach in 05. I felt like a rock star on the dock. I remember the SHOT show in Vegas. 15000 international arms dealers, Ted Nugent and dog jumping. I remember the Dock Dogs staff ditching Tony during teardown and hanging out and helping fold the pool in Vegas and that's all I really remember from Vegas. I finally started looking a rescuing a yellow lab and getting back to the sport I love. Hopefully I'll see all of my friends in Auburn, I wouldn't miss it for anything. Pete

Gosh, that's when I showed up with just Kadin....no water bowl, no water, no towel, no chair, no food, no nothing. Just me and my dog. I went home with soaking wet jeans, a soaking wet dog, and a first place ribbon.

I remember Randy was deathly ill that weekend, but I told him he absolutely HAD to come on Saturday . . . because it was AMAZING.

I think we did the same thing went our first event with no chairs,shade or crates. But we had a blast! Rudy's furthest jump that weekend was 13'10" we were so proud. Now we can't wait for the next one. And we've made some new friends along the way.
