    Finn got fourth in Dock Dogs!

    So, this may be the last event we go to for awhile, but hopefully we don't stop altogether. I absolutely the atmosphere and I know it's really good for my big yellow boy.

    We went to Houston this weekend for an event and Finn came in fourth in the semi pro finals. Not too bad, considering we've done no training with him in almost half a year! All he's really gotten are regular walks. But, he really did well, I think his best was 20'9"!

    On to the photos!





    He talks SO much trash on the dock.

    Day Two

    Here are photos of our jumps in the Semi Pro Finals on Sunday.









    Accepting our ribbon!



    It was super hot, but I stayed hydrated and wasn't any more uncomfortable than I am when I'm not pregnant and 14 pounds heavier. I really didn't know how I'd feel, but I felt great the entire time! It was awesome jumping Finn again.

    They do televise some of the events, but we've never been to one that was. Maybe one day! It's so much fun to see our friends on tv, though!

    Wow! Congrats to you and Finn. I also love the picture Sandie is talking about. And your belly looks so cute. I love the blue tank top you were wearing.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Thank you guys for the congrats! When we were really deep into the season, he was getting 2nd and 3rd places, but we're out of practice! We still had so much fun, though, and I couldn't believe he placed at all. We haven't been on a dock in awhile!

    And, thank you for all the comments about my belly.
