We had another "Award-Winning Performance" at PawsFest -

the second PT Winner was Ann's Hubby MARK who scored better than
a 9.5 average in Turf Diving.

It's a long story ...
Started during our picnic supper - when the Baby Chipmunks
started FALLING OUT of the Trees and running through the crowd!

Huney started *Lookin UP* at that point and never stopped >>>


We adjourned the picnic area and moved to the Kids Playground to give
Robin's WELL-behaved Nieces a chance to be Kids for a while.

Huney was developing a Stiff Neck from Chipmunk / Squirrel Watchin ...
Mark offered to take her on a Squirrel Hunt ...

OFF they went -at a dead run - Squirrel Hunter in the lead ...
"Dad" hangin onto the leash a few steps behind ...

Things started goin DOWNhill as Mark's leash arm & upper body got farther & farther
out in front and ahead of his feet ...

The Turf Dive was a sight to behold - but sadly, , not photographed.

Most of us gave him a 9.5 - Anna (slightly biased) awarded a 10 Plus.

He stretched out - almost horizontal a foot or two above the ground -
then landed spread-eagle on the grass.
Never lost his grip on Huney's leash ...
And Huney never took her eyes of the Squirrel in the Tree, either!



(NOTE: the "Slow - Speed Bump" sign!)

"C'mone, Dad! You're layin down onna job again!"





"Keep your eyes on your Squirrel at ALL times!"



He's UP!



"C'mone, Dawg! I've had enough *phunn* for one day!"

Congrats Kay and Kiara!!

Mark, I feel your pain!! I don't remember iof it was last year, or the year before, but after a PT picnic, I tried a similar race with all three dogs, after ducks. I didnt fair as well...when I hit the wet grass and went flying, I dropped the leashes and the dogs kept running!! Thankfully they all have pretty good recall and came back!!!

I think I got more of a "what were you thinking? " from Ralph!!!

I enjoyed the pictures, looks like it was a beautiful day! Congrats Kay and Kiara!

Anna, I'm so glad you got a video of Kiara and her winning performance. I was standing back a bit and gabbing to someone and missed it .

I've enjoyed everyone's pictures. Sorry it has taken me so long to get to mine. I was just too exhausted to do it Sunday and was busy yesterday and most of today. I had a really good time and thought it was such a nice day. I loved seeing all my PT buddies and really loved, loved, loved seeing all the dogs! It was a very pretty park too. My nieces had a blast and now want to go to Findlay with me. Hmm, not for sure about that. Do I want to take them or not?..lol. What do you guys think? I can't make up my mind. Since it was an on leash event I got to take Katie with me and that was special for me. I thought she did fairly well. There were some "growly" moments but nothing physical. Overall, I'm happy with how she behaved. I love that big girl so much!

Wow. everyone's pictures are great! Congratulations Kiara! Condolences to Mark, but Phred should get a prize for his "documentary"
We left Sat. and got back Mon. late pm from our little jaunt to Virginia to watch our niece graduate. Maybe next year we can make it to Pawfest. Will definitly see you all in Findlay in a few days! (Maybe Star and Mark can sit together & compare their bite-wounds I think Mark's has more teeth marks!)
