Our team had a great time in Sandusky at RFG's tournament.  It's our favorite venue for camping.
The weekend started out with a Division I lineup. With a seed time of 19.9, we were more than skeptical. The top teams were 2-3 seconds faster than us.  Didn't look like much fun for us. It's not too hard to hold last place in your division.
We partnered up with Wooferines who were short on members too. It worked out well for both teams and we had an awesome cookout Saturday night, compliments of Lucy's (Woof) family.  We may have to adopt them, they know how to barbecue!

Thank you to everyone who helped us out; we couldn't have done it without you.

Kristen and Kala got their starts down to very respectable start times, most in the .o's.  Kala is always focused (B/C obsession).

Lori and Dani ran clean most of the weekend and pushed a few passes. Kala and Dani used to live in the same household and are happier living apart. They like to drive the other crazy in an attempt to herd each other. Passing into each other can sometimes be a little much to ask which ends in a dropped ball to bark back.
Lori loaded box for the Wooferines team. Also, she won the $100 raffle prize!

Chip had a guest handler.  Chris from Wooferines is a Jack owner and enjoyed running him.  He is quite a character and will run for anyone with a pocket full of good treats.  They did quite well. "Thanks, Chris."

Sue had to work hard.  She ran Homer who earned a new nickname over the weekend, we still love Chicken Bone even when he was off his game on Sunday. He was just as content to let Tug run in his place.
Tug wasn't off  but just not quite himself on Saturday.  Sunday he had his game face on and worked to pull Sue off her feet. They worked well together and made a lot of improvements in closing the gap on their passing.
Sue did an impressive job running dogs for Wooferines as well.

Wearing our purple Precise (dog food) team shirts on Sunday that proclaim, "When the economy takes a bite..."  "Bite Back!" and the cheering on from other teams, we found just enough attitude to at least bark back! We ended our weekend on a high note, we finished third in Div. I!  We were very excited to place anywhere besides last.  It may be the only time in our history that Homer gets to help his team (the rest of us included) to an official NAFA point in Region 1, Division I. We worked hard for it but most of all, We had a great time and so did our dogs.
Thanks again to everyone; see you in July.
