New England Trailblazers, Littleton, MA- October 2 & 3, 2004:  For the first time we were able to send a full roster of six dogs to a tournament.  The core four were there (Sally, Eartha, Susie and Shrek).  In addition, Haiku came again and Chance made his debut.  We had a great time at this tournament.  Shrek got to learn a new position (as a start dog), and both Eartha and Susie did much better in their passing.  Sally had a great time as anchor dog, as she doesn't like to be beat.  The dogs were doing so well, that it was the humans that caused most of the errors.  We started off right, winning the first race and getting a 25 point run.  Chance had an excellent debut and earned his FD at his first tournament.  When Chance was in, it was all "new" dogs in the race (Chance took Sally's spot)- I was so proud.  We had a great time at this tournament and can't wait to run again.

New Best Time: 22.26 (Shrek, Eartha, Susie and Sally)
