TADAA - Razzles' first official Dock competition
 

Last Sunday, at the last minute literally, we got the dogs entered into a dock diving competition in Newmarket; about 45 minutes north of the city.

So we are somewhat unprepared for a whole day's event, as we were not sure until we got there if there would be space for us, so we didn't pack our whole kit n caboodle of a days outing with the dogs.

We got in, and here is a story of "experienced diver" and and cough cough, handler Gail and Magic.
I had bought a new Chuck it toy, on sale no less, I thought for sure it was water toy as most of their toys are, well I do the first toss in the water, and Magic god bless him, balks for the first time in a long time to jump. There I am trying to get him to jump off the dock, and saying See your toy, see your toy! Mommy wants you to get that TOY. Then I look and I really look, no NO NO sign of the toy! LMAO. The audience is yelling at me the TOY SANK..... How embarassing. First rule, have a toy that floats. So anyhow it was the shortest life of a toy we have had in our household, ummmm 48 hrs maybe. the next time up on the dock Magic did jump in to get a toy that actually floated!!!;)

Razzle was a trooper and a crowd pleaser. He jumped his first time on the dock in that crazy zany competition pool. He got into the finals as well in his division! ..... 3feet 6 " can you believe it???

Unfortunately we didn't realize he had made the finals, and after almost 6hrs we were pooped and never thought about finals so we went home. I get an email the next day, from Heather who I train with for dock diving, and she said you got into the finals with RAzzle. Why didn't you stay:eek::eek:

Awh well I said to her, next time maybe:)

OMGosh! What a wild day! Congrats to the Dazzling Razzle! As long as you all had fun!:D (Watch out for those sinking throw toys... omgosh! Too funny!)

Congrats! I loved your throw toy story lol

Thanks Gals we did have a blast

That is wayyyyy cool!:D

The competition sounds like it was so much fun! Too bad you lost the toy, but I'm sure the next time around Magic was exuberant. Razzle's reach and extension look wonderful! That's a great photo. Congratulations on making the finals; I wish you knew about it, but it must have been an amazing day anyway. I hope you continue to pursue dock diving in the future. I know you love it, your boys do, too, and I always love seeing your videos and photos and hearing your joy when you relate stories about it.

Thanks Lisa and Kathy. I'm still haven't read all the rules, and how you build up to titles n such. For me it is just a blast of fun; and such a great days' outing in the summertime.

Some of the younger gals are pretty competitive, but in a very nice way. there is truly a wide range of age groups for the humans and the doggies.

I love that picture that looks like a blast to be involved in

thank you there is another pic on that album too showing building toy drive before the jumpin:)

Great picture! Way to go Razzle, making it into the finals! I'm sorry you didn't know that he had made it.

I would have been laughing so hard if my toy sunk. :D Magic was probably wondering what was going on, if it was a new trick.

Sounds like you had a great time. :)
