Dixon Eats Canopies For Lunch

Was at Dixon on Sat for AKC fun.

I personally saw three well built canopies fall to the wind gods. Honestly I didn't think it was that windy. Seemed worse two weeks ago. But gotta love Dixon and it's canopy eatting ways.

I just worked out of the car...brick houses and all.

Fin was her fabulous self.

First run of the day was at 9:15. Jumpers. A nice flowing course with a couple challenges that Fin ignored. Jumped beautifully, weaved beautifully. Miss read one rear cross (I wasn't where I wanted to be so my fault) and Q'd in first place.

Next run was followed by 5 hours of waiting. We walked the course at 3:05. Fin ran at 3:45. I read Carl Hiaasen, volunteered to work, walked Fin, ran arond with Fin, talked to people, watched Fin sleep, played with Fin in the water, pulled out the chuck-it, ate my packed lunch, walked some more ...you get the picture.

Standard was a fun course. Fin worked really hard and one small refusal (my fault) Fin Q'd with second place.

HiMark's Holy Mackerel! NA, NAJ
