Pet Life Dock Dogs 2011

We had such a great time in Maine over the weekend! My husband, brother, and Apollo made the trip Saturday late morning.

We first went to Scarborough to scope out the Pet Life (fka: The Kennel Shop) Dock Dogs set up and see our friends. Everything looked great and I couldn't wait until Sunday get Apollo jumping! Then we drove to Freeport to spend the rest of the day shopping at LL Bean, The Oakley Vault, Pet Pantry, and other stores. We topped off the night at Gritty's in Freeport. Jeremy got an amazing seafood dinner; a lobster and steamers! He said it was the best lobster tail he'd ever had. Joey got ribs and loved them. I got a steak panini with peppers and onions and cheese that was pressed to perfection. We had such a great time!

Sunday we got up early to head to Scarborough for Dock Dogs. Apollo was ready to go! His first jump was round 9', the next 12', the next 12'3, and the last jump was a big one- 13'7!! I was SO PROUD of my boy! His last jump also earned him a 3rd place rosette!

While we were in Scarborough I went over to the Avery booth where they were doing field test demos. I talked to some members and they encouraged me to try it out- I think I am! Apollo would do great (he wanted to go during the demo, haha!).

Overall, an excellent weekend was had by all :)

Seacoast Dock Dogs Fun Jump 6/2011

We got up early (like, before 5am) to head out to Berwick, ME for the Seacoast Dock Dogs Fun Jump. We really haven't been training too much for Dock Dogs, the weather hasn't been great in our area.

Apollo had a great time (as usual when it involves water, ha!). We even made it into the finals; his best jump of the day was 13'. We ended up placing 4th in the Junior division.

I was so proud of my boy!
