I'll be there, and I'll be bringing both Tonka and Ida for a change :D

Tonka will get to play on the dock a bit, and hopefully Ida can do a few laps around the pool to keep her happy. Her recheck appt with the Surgeon is next Wed and we are sure hoping for a full release to go back to work :wink: She is very much looking forward to her freedom to play again. Hard to believe it has been a full 6 months since her back surgery :shock:

Hey, theres a brand spanky clean Cabelas in town too! Can't wait for my shopping spree!!!

Hey All, Dont count Stryker and Bubbles out! Change of PLANS. Looks Like WE are CynoSport bound :lol: :lol:

So let me get this right SV and Small Dog????

WOW! how a few hours can change a person life.

"A breed of satin and steel. Pit bulls are a mixture of softness and strength, an uncanny canine combination of fun, foolishness, and serious business, all wrapped up in love"

Melissa,

It is the desire of Splashdogs to run SV from pool level and not 2' above the water level.

In Scottsdale there will be a dock at or slightly above the water level that SV will be ran from.

Hey everyone

I have a change of plans. Marty is coming up with me & the 'kids' and we are coming up on Thursday so we've got another day of jumping-whoopee!

BTW, Greg, you wanted a little bio on our dogs so here goes(even though you probably know my 2 beasties by now). After 2 failed events of no jumping last year, Dunkin, my chocolate lab, has taken to 'jumping' off the dock since Wags. We spent the whole day perfecting his jumps at Lancaster and I think he might hit 4' in Scottdale. :lol: :lol: He has 2 little Splash legs and I'm hoping he'll title in the Splash class then. Best news-he is "Having FUN". In addition to dock jumping, he started taking agility classes in August & is dieting & 'training' to get some weight off and maybe start jumping 'big' like his hero, Jasmine. :lol:
Phoebe, my black Lab, spent this year climbing from 8-12' range to hitting a PB at Wags with 23' 6". She loves all things athletic & really misses her dock jumping since she has been on rest since she hurt her back a couple months ago. :( I will let her jump once in Scottsdale and she how she does.I'm hoping there is Course A'lure at CynoSports cuz she really loves that, too. Boy, can she fly! She also does agility & is in her third Agility trial next weekend going for Level 2.

OK, I think we all need to get together and convince Ursula to come. We all know that she has a habit of saying she can't come and then finding a way!

Come on Urs - you can make it! Gunner, Twiz and Sassy don't want to be done jumping for the year. Think of it as an early christmas present for them...

Wendy, Renegade and Jasper

Wendy knows me all tooo well....

I'm actually trying to pull strings left and right to somehow get down there.... :) Tony - you got room in that trailer for me and my dogs, lol!!! :lol:

- Bart, reply to my email dude!!!! :wink:

This sport is soooo addicting - actually even more than flyball for me......

Sardo

10-17-2006, 11:52 AM

YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY DOWN HERE URS!!!!!! :( :( :(

and I somehow I have to convince Melissa to go to so we can have Team Triple Threat together for the first time. :shock: :shock:

Sassy Girl

10-17-2006, 11:55 AM

10-17-2006, 12:17 PM

Well I'm sorry to say that Sadie and I will be missing this. It's been really hard to figure out which to go to, but I've decided we are heading up North to Atwater for a 3 day narcotics training seminar, possible certification that very same weekend........Water, dirt, water, dirt....I kept drifting towards water but the dirt won......

See everyone soon,

Excellent Idea!!!!
That is what we did at the last event . I keeps the pups from hitting the pool bottom. It worked out great that way.

When is this event? What are the dates. We have a plane ticket left to use. Couldn't think of a better use than to head to Arizona and see some Splash Dog friends!!!

Sardo

10-19-2006, 12:39 PM

It is from NOV. 1st to the 5th. It's going to be a huge event and all types of activities to do for the pups. You should really consider!!!!

BOcephus

10-19-2006, 01:22 PM

Most definately going to do all I can to make it!!
I got one round trip ticket, but I don't know if My Wife-Mom-babysitting gaurdian Megan will let me take off again this soon. Just recently got back from a Hunt trip to Montana.
I'll try. The funds are so low right now is the only thing holding us back!! This rain is messing things up. That's why I'm here on this and not out there doing what I should!
Definately gonna try!!!!!

BOcephus

10-19-2006, 02:11 PM

If URS and Jim and Sandra aren't going to go well then I'm staying home!!
Missed ya in Redding Urs, Don't miss this one also. We can fire up the Barbie for old times sake!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey BrYan! :D

Great picture of San Fran! You know, if you look real close in one of them I'm in there busy at the registration table! I was probably filling out some form for throwing 2x4s into lights! :wink:

Love Ya!!

BOcephus

10-19-2006, 08:01 PM

Amanda,
If my memory serves me correct it was not from the low ceiling lights that fell onto the 2x4. :shock:
Everyone,
The gal at the table is Amanda writing up one of the nicest guys I myself have ever met. :lol: For doing a good deed!! :x He was simply looking out for everyones safety. :) He had thrown a stick in the pool and it sunk! :oops: ! Never knew sticks in CA. sunk!! :shock: He simply jumped in to bring it out safely so it would not create a safety factor. 8) He was simply looking out for the well being of his fellow competitors. 8) Then that lady at the table Wrote him a bad letter saying he was a bad man!! :x I mean this guy was willing to help out at anytime. I think I heard that he sacrificed a trip to the San Juan Islands just to go to that event. :roll: What a guy!!! I heard rumor that a couple gals from New York along with a few others took him out the night before and got him intoxicated. :twisted: :twisted: Shame on them!!!! :evil: :o
They kept ordering him these licorice tasting drinks called Jager something with Ice Tea's. He still swears there was something besides Tea in those drinks because he could not remember much of the night after the tangle with that big guy that was harrassing Barb from NewYork!! :o
So he had been tricked into drinking alcohol. So much that memory loss had accurred, mix that in the morning with a very loud event room with incredible low ceiling with big lights that had no covers on them. I can spell disaster about twelve times out of that!!!!!
Then when this incredideblly nice, good looking guy happens to make a bad throw , under all those circumstances, That mean lady gave him a nasty letter. I saw him over in the back weeping for hours. He is real emotional. I think due to his former childhood celebrity status??
But he became a trooper and carried on with the show. I had a hard time talking him out of his revenge he was nearly prepared to carry out. She would have been in some serious deep Doo Doo if I had not talked with him. I heard that lady does not work for those other people from the east coast anymore. She met a nice California guy last I heard. Sure hope he can tame that gal!!

Bryan- ok - if you come down, I will make the drive!

I am in the final hours of trying to get the trip confirmed. Now, I'm just waiting on a call from my sponsor to help kick in some $$ and need to work the kid issue. But, I would say right now, I'm 85% sure that I will be going to Scottsdale!!! :D :D

Bryan, firm up your plans - anyone in the Scottsdale area that can bring a bar b q? Bryan is one of the best BBQ Chefs I've ever met and it will be a treat ! :D :D

10-20-2006, 09:01 AM

WOW....tempting thought to make the drive down to Scottsdale....

Hmmm.....last time I made that drive it was 28 hours straight driving! :shock:

But with all the dogs, and the people, and BrYan maybe doing a BBQ....I wonder how much trouble I'll get in for making that kind of drive? :wink:

Have red car...gypsy will travel! :wink: 8)

Sassy Girl

10-20-2006, 09:15 AM

aaah...come on Amanda...it will be a blast, I'm sure. :lol:

Ouch - 28 hours, that is a long drive, but....just think about the weather, you'll be leaving the cold blustery snow for the beautiful warm sunshine! :D

MickeyD'sMom

10-20-2006, 09:29 AM

I can probably try to get my sister's bbq grill. I'll be staying at her place in chandler (30 minutes or so from scottsdale). I believe they have a charcoal grill, not gas though... I'd love to try Bryan's BBQ!

Jim and Sandra - you and MickeyD will be missed.

Urs - that's great you are going to make it! (You like how I ignored the "probably" part :D)

Sassy Girl

10-20-2006, 10:13 AM

Yeah - I noticed that Wendy...but you know me oh so well....

I'm always the first to say I'll miss the next event and then turn around and somehow get to it. I've just thought about this one real hard...Splash Dogs World Championship...hmmm you can't miss that! This is huge!

Sassy Girl

10-20-2006, 10:14 AM

Hey - did you guys notice this is like the longest string ont he Splash Dogs Forum - very cool to see the traffic start to pick up!

Sassy Girl

10-20-2006, 10:22 AM

by the way...on the BBQ grill. I believe charcoal is good...We BBQ'd in San Francisco last year in January... it was the best BBQ ribs I have ever had...they were awesome!

Sardo

10-20-2006, 10:52 AM

Oh my God after reading all of this I'm having second thoughts!!! It's like can you imagine 2 days in a car with MickeyD????? :roll: Do I have a volunteer to transport the maniac???? :lol: Okay I will talk to Jim again! I personally think we are all a little nuts!

10-20-2006, 12:14 PM

Okay this is getting a bit more serious now. Where is everyone staying? Please don't tell me Motel 6! :roll:

Sandra, like you didn't alredy know we were all nuts... :lol: Come on, I don't have an engine in my car right now, but damn it, I'm going! :D

As for hotels, am booking right now, so give me a few and I'll tell you where I'll be...

Flyin' Hawaiian

10-20-2006, 04:44 PM

Wow, it would be so cool if the Flyin' Hawaiian could make one last appearance.

Alas, this is the last week for Mom's job, and Dad still needs to work 24/7 to wrap up work before heading to Los Angeles for a 9 day visit with her human sisters on Nov. 20th.

Besides, Mom has to pack up the apartment and get it loaded on a container for Hawaii. Hope she remembers to pack up the toy box!!

Well, this will be the last week of practice at Sparks Marina this season for H3D, and our last practice before heading to Hawaii.

Good luck to everyone at Scottsdale!!

To all our friends in Splashdogs' land, a big MAHALO (Thank You) for letting Randy, Ka'ua and I become a part of your lives. We will miss all the enjoyment we have had at the competitions, and we will definitely miss all of you. You will always be in our thoughts and hearts.

Again, thank you Splashdogs for the honor and privilege of being inductees in the Splashdogs' Hall of Fame.

If we (sans Ka'ua) are ever in the area of a Splashdogs event, we will stop in to say HI.

Tony and Randy Woods, if we can find a venue in Hawaii, we will do our best to start up a club. Then maybe entice you to bring the judging equipment to Hawaii for a competition!

Okay, got off the subject. Again, everyone, good luck, but most of all HAVE LOTS OF FUN!!!

Aloha,
Randy, Mary and Ka'ua

Rain in Phoenix, are you kidding? I lived there for 2 years and the so called "river" never had water in it and they actually have roads that go through the river. Rumor has it that most years for a few months the river does have water, but I'm not buying it :)

I remember one time when it started raining as I was coaching soccer and I tried to get the kids under a roof and they were running around outside with their faces turned up like it was the first snow of the year.

OK, now seriously, it does rain on occasion in Phoenix, but mostly just in the winter. I would say that there's no way it'lll happen, but then I'll jinx us...

I know I don't know you, but I'm always willing to help out a fellow dock dog! I'll be in phoenix from 10/31-11/6 with my car staying at my sister's so I could be persuaded to do taxi duty if someone offered good cookies to my dogs (and maybe put a magic spell on my so I could throw the dang toy consistently).

MickeyD'sMom

10-23-2006, 09:09 AM

Urs:
Did you ever book your room? If so where are you staying and what is the cost? Let me know. We are still trying to decide. Although I must say it is looking a little better, seems we have a little problem with our triplex in....guess where? Prescott, AZ so this may be the perfect time to go check on it!

10-23-2006, 09:39 AM

Hey westcoasters!!!!!!
I will be there helping to work this event! Flying in from the tundra of Michigan. It will be so cool to meet all of you west coasters!! Can't wait to be in some warmth (we have already had snow :evil: ) The only down side is I will be sans dog :cry:, don't want to put him under the plane---I don't even trust them with my luggage! Unless anyone has any suggestions..........like how do you get celebrity status?
I am really excited to come to this event, can't wait to meet everyone!

10-23-2006, 02:42 PM

Sandra,
You, Jim and Mickey D are more than welcome to come stay with us under the bridge, down by the river.. I'm sure there will be plenty of room. I haven't got even one reservation comfirmed yet. :(
I was hoping to make a few extra bucks by renting out a few spots to out of towners. I decided on leasing the grassy area from Slim. {A guy I met last month.} He was hitchin back down to Scottsdale after his vacation to the King county Truckstop and poolhall. Said he would lease me the small grassy area for the weekend. He lost some money on pool or something at the truck stop so I got a pretty good deal. He stated Property there is high dollar stuff. "If you want grass you must pay"he said.
Says a few stragglers come in every now and then but they are usually so drunk they don't harm ya.
Let me know if you are interested.
I don't know how the different little creatures are at night there but don't worry I am bringing some OFF and a bug zapper for the BIG ones that BITE :P
We may need to build some sort of a shelter because of it being located next to the treatment plant. But Slim stated that you get used to the different odors after awhile. "The drunker you get the less you smell", he says. He even told me where his stash of MD-20/20 was.
How cool is that!!
Well hopefully we'll see ya there!!!!!!!!!!!!

MickeyD'sMom

10-23-2006, 03:44 PM

Bryan:
Thats the best offer I've had (and only) :roll: If I make it I will pay extra for the grassy area. We don't have to worry about sleeping as we will all be chasing MickeyD around!!!

Only bad thing is this!!

Sandra that's great news to hear about Jim! Tell him we send our best wishes and luck for a great weekend! We won't be there...but we hope everyone has a great time with the dogs and the event!

Stay MickeyD Stay!

Will Todd and Gabe be there to defend their two year title? Last year Todd and Gabe took first place and beat Bart and Little Gunner by inches. A year before that Todd and Gabe also took first place and beat out Sarge by inches. Who is up to putting the heat on Todd and Gabe this year? 8)
