Fall in the Rockies

Members Mia and Lalu live in Yellowstone National Park. Lately they've had some difficulties with the resident elk population, which is in rut. This presents a problem when the dogs need to go outside, as the animals tend to be a little "testy".

Lalu writes: "We could not take the dogs out that day and the dogs had started to whine and cry. All the elks were lying spread out around the house, with the bull elk stomping about and our house does not have a back door! I sneaked out quick and turned on the sprinkler in the yard and as the elks moved away I got a moment to pick up the dogs and put them in the car and take them uphill to do their dos. And when I returned I found the elks were enjoying the cool shower near the sprinkler and drinking out of it.  :) then I had to find an opportunity to turn the sprinkler off  and it was late evening before they decided to move on to the next plot."

Thanks!

Thank you for all the work that you did to make the trial a success.  The fact that everyone was there and pitched in, competing or not, was wonderful.   As usual, the food was fantastic and no one could ever say that we went hungry.  And  I think I can speak for Warren and Pete that having folks there to cheer on the competitors is what this sport is all about; it does matter to have everyone’s support and encouragement.    I am also under the impression that our guests  Al, Craig and Kelly had a good time too. 

So thanks again to everyone for sticking with this crazy sport and our sometimes hard to understand passion/obsession/habit/whatever you want to call it of dog training.  Sometimes I get discouraged because of all of the $%@$# politics that’s out there in the organizations and it gets depressing.  But events like ours this weekend is what really matters!  We have a darn good group of people.

Lexi and Warren got a 265=95/90/80p with Al Goved­nik here at home this week­end, earning their IPO2.  Spe­cial con­grats to Peter DeKok & Vise for their first SChH 1! And congratulations to Anne and Bekqa for their FH1. It's always a treat to watch Bekqa contain himself and focus so intensely while tracking.

Thanks to our club mem­bers for all their hard work put­ting on a very smooth trial, …and to our friend & helper Craig Lewis & his delight­ful spouse & train­ing part­ner Kel­ley for all their time & travel. Wish we had had more dogs for you to work, Craig!
