We were in charge of setting up camp, which means finding a location in which a tent will NOT take in water and with the grass of similar length. This wasn't necessarily an easy task as the grass was in clumps with mud spaced in-between. When we finally located a spot, Carrie and I unrolled the tent and proceeded to set up the tent with only one problem. We'd gotten it up and then realized it needed ONE MORE pole inserted!! UGH!!! So, we had to drop the tent back down to get the pole in. Tent was up and it LOOKED GOOD. The 3 of us were sleeping in our vans, so this was the "boys" tent.
We ate our supper and all went off to our vans for the night. Terry and Jeff were to arrive around 10 pm or so. They arrived without any problems and NONE of us heard them....until about 11:15 PM when Jeff accidentally hit the trucks PANIC BUTTON!!!! Well, so much for a quite night!! (';
It was a COLD night and I was kicking myself (literally to stay warm) for leaving my sleeping bag at home! UGH!! What was I thinking!! I had one quilted Pepsi blanket and a couple small fleece blankets. IT was NOT enough!! I had Mad under the covers with me to try to keep warm and Kruz (who doesn't like to be under the covers) was at my feet. BUURRRR!!! We lived to see the coffee Saturday morning!
Saturday was a BEAUTIFUL Day!! The sun was shining (at times) and low wind made for a cool, but nice day! The only problem with this weather was as soon as you thought you could remove your sweatshirt, you got cold and had to put it back on. The dogs ran very well and we continued to pile on the Q's.
Saturday evening after our pizza we let the dogs play with Bea's Frisbee. It was nice to see the 9 dogs able to run together and "take turns" NOT!!! Getting the Frisbee.
Jeff, Carrie and Terry (with the Frisbee) TALKING!
Pauley, Rippy, Bea, Mad Dog, Tre and Kruz and all telling him to
THROW IT ALREADY!!!
Mad has it!!! Bea is confused and is still looking for it....everyone else is in hot pursuit of that MAD DOG!
Sunday night we got hit with some pretty heavy storms. Luckily (or not??) it was just rain. It was however a LOT of rain!!!
Jeff, Carrie, Terry and Barb looked a little TOO happy this morning in front of "their" mud puddle. Makes you wonder what they have in those mugs!!!!
The pole behind Jeff is either a weather alert siren or a UFO tracking tower. You decide.
Our dogs ran really well today, especially with the weather conditions. In the 20" Excellent B class we had a CLEAN SWEEP with Bea in FIRST, Kruz in SECOND and Mad Dog finishing THIRD!! YIPPEE!!
We no more than finished our JWW course when the rain started to come down heavy in sheets and the cold front went through. The wind knocked over ALL the jumps, chairs were rolling and the fence was coming untied.......YIKES! Notice the orange fence that is NO LONGER attached. G
We collected our winnings and headed home! We of course had to stop off at the DQ for ice cream and I told everyone that our dogs had "upgraded" from a dish of ice cream to the baby cones!! So of course EVERYONE had to try it. It was a HIT!!
Bea and Jeff - I think she's getting a BRAIN FREEZE!!!
But she LIKES IT!
Being NEW to the cone feeding method, Carrie needed some assistance from the now VETERAN "Uncle Jeff". So he's helping Addie and Carrie is working with Pauley, who's NOT sure what to think of having a whole cone to himself.
Addie obviously understands the "finer" points to "cone eating", which is to finish YOURS FIRST so you still can get some of your brothers!! VBG
Poor Kruz, he tipped his cone over onto the cement. He was deterred by that however, and carefully cleaned up all the evidence!! YUMMY!!!!
