Team Skagit County (Dog Lovers Only)

This post is intended for:
a) people who love dogs
b) people who like dogs
c) people who have families or kids that like (or love) dogs
d) people who spend 15 hours at the fair and only get to see the dogs
e) people who came to the fair to see dog agility competition but had to leave before it started because they had to pick up their own dog from the dog sitter by closing time.

If you don't like dogs then you should probably browse the links at the left for something a little more interesting. Maybe you should spend some time on this site. Then come back here and see if it's any more interesting.

This post is only here to share some videos that I took of the 4-H Dog Agility competition at the Puyallup Fair on Sept 19, 2009.

This is all video... pics will probably follow in a few days (or weeks).

First off, here is Mikayla and Josie. Mikayla ended up winning a red ribbon for this event.

As a side note, Mikayla also won a red ribbon for Judging and will be back at the Fair on Thursday for more dog competitions.

This next video is a short compilation that shows how things could go wrong, despite all your hard effort and diligent training.

I don't think any of those people were from Skagit County, but the following two videos are of friends who are part of the 4-H club we belong to: Kids-n-K-9's.
This is Brianna and Sparkles:

Finally, here is Kayleen and Kona:


Everyone held up well, despite the fact that it was a very long day.
Mikayla, Tanya and Sarah were dealing with dogs at the fair, all day, from 8:00am until 11:45pm.

Alexia and I played three soccer games at home before coming down to join in the fair festivities. Since it was Alexia's birthday, Nana, Poppy, Grandpa Dave, Grandma Margie, Aunt Rachel and Uncle Steve all came to the Fair to wish her a wonderful Happy 9th Birthday. She ended up opening presents on the bleachers while the dogs were running the agility course. She was excited to get her own digital camera, so you can expect to see some images fro her in the near future.

Thank you to everyone who came to see us at the fair. We really do appreciate it.

That's all for now.
More to come, as time allows.
