teehee care to see what my mom wrote back?? ! I love it! lol its the funniest thing, and all she did was agree with her 100%! just in a very sarcastic way!

I'm easy, we can meet at (name) and pack all the equipment in our van. As for the bigger problem, Shayna feels, and I agree, that the best solution is for her to stay home with her dogs. I can't think of any other way to solve all the problems you've outlined. If Happy is on leash, she is prone to having barking and lunging fits occasionally, which would certainly be very frightening to everyone in the vicinity, especially on only a normal leash and one girl holding it. Even if Happy is crated, it's possible for her to look out of it and frighten sensitive dogs like Maggie who don't like to be stared at. You said you were confident Thor could race just fine as long as it's on 9's, and that way we wouldn't have to worry about the 20.7 breakout. I'm a tad clautrophobic anyway, so I'm very happy to ride alone in our van with the equipment
