Four teams from the club made the looooong trip to Louisville, KY:  Brian Rutledge & Mishka, Carly Keane & Daisy Lou, Kellie Wisotzkey & Clay, and Sharon Rodgers & Thunder.  They were also joined by Angie Jones & Nestle from Keystone DockDogs.  Kellie & Sharon hit some snow with white-out conditions once driving over the western Maryland and West Virginia mountains.  Everyone else had a clear trip.

The venue was great - the ceiling was really high, lots of room to move around, and the crowd was HUGE!!!  The spectators were excited, cheering for all the dogs, and hung around for the whole wave and asked when the next one would be.  All the dogs got a lot of love while standing in line and walking around and gave it back with plenty of wags and kisses for the kids and grown-ups.
 
Thunder was his normal O. C. Doggie and ate everything in sight.  He started out by chewing a tiny hole in a microfil pillow and making snow throughout the car and all over the loading dock at the event.  Next were tissues in the hotel room on Friday.  Saturday, even though we put the cooler in the bathroom, he managed to down a 2lb bag of Ginger Snaps.  We found out later that unless you really pulled on the door it didn't latch.  Sunday morning he got in the trash and broke a bottle of Cocktail Sauce, cleaned out the cans of crab, and licked off the cream cheese wrappers.  On Sunday evening, he finished up the beer bread and two leftover pickles from dinner.  Brandy & Buddy - you didn't miss anything!!!
