A Columbus Thank You

What a great event! I saw old friends meeting up and having a good time and a few newbies finding out what DockDogs is all about. It is so nice to see everyone having a good time. The crowd was truly amazed by the high flying dogs and cheered a few that needed the additional courage.

I want to thank everyone that grabbed a vacuum. You guys did an awesome job of helping keep the place dry. With full waves, the wranglers kept the lines moving and still gave us time to practice. I think this show was the most on time compared to all our events. A big shout out to Cindy Bacon for two great meals!

Happy Spring and get those dogs a jumpin’.
