The
MGA trial "up North" was a mixed success. It was on the small side, but was actually bigger than we expected. 7
Ibizans?? Better sales on our end would have certainly been a plus. Most of the dogs here we've shot many times before, but with the overhead perspective from the snow-maker tower, they've
never been seen like this before! Talk after the trials was to move the date to October next year, during that northern season known as "Fall Color". It should be gorgeous. And when word gets out how beautiful the location is, there should be more folks showing up.
So.. the travel schedule:
This coming weekend we'll be at the Midwest Coursing Club trials at the Racine, WI kennel club field. We'll
apparently be sharing southeast Wisconsin real estate with thousands and thousands of Harley H.O.G. members. Motels are booked 50 miles out, and more, and the rates are doubled! If you don't have a place booked already, forget it.
Next week, the
Express, in it's seemingly never-ending need for repair, will have to be left at Done Right Auto & RV Repair to have a cracked exhaust manifold replaced. So, we're letting Enterprise "pick us up", we're packing up the dogs, and we're
all going to New Mexico to pick up the
Galgo puppy. We think we know which one we're getting, but that could change when we get to see all our choices. So forget everything we've written before. ;) This, of course, means we will not be at the
LARC LGRA as previously posted.
Labor Day weekend we will be at the
OKIGO ASFA trials and fun runs at Twin Towers Park near Dayton, OH.
September 8-9 is the event we never miss! Wind Chasers Lure Coursing Club
ASFA trials at Deep River Park, Hobart, Indiana. Pig Roast on Saturday night!
MMMMmmmmm!
Monday through Friday, we may be at the Escapees big Fall "Escapade" in
Goshen, IN.
I'm not sure what the rest of the month looks like... we will catch a
LARC LGRA and fun trial in Oberlin, OH, and the
LCLC trials in Romulus, NY. Other dates to be filled in as we know them. And don't forget the
LGRA/
NOTRA OB Nationals in Carthage, IN the first weekend of October. (Which means we miss the
Loomis (NE) Dog Races.... again!)
TSH WatermelonMan @ Shotonsite. ("Sandia"). Born 5/18/07. This little fellow wasn't originally available, but once he showed signs of getting a wire coat, he was. You don't have to ask us twice! He caught my attention the first time we looked at the pictures. The eyes have it! 
that very same black and white girl who now seems to have normal feet?
