Argus Ranch hosted this past weekend's RAT June trial again, and fun was had by all. Our judges, Jeannie Biggers and Bernie Doyle, brought some not-so-simple-but-truly-fun courses, and both wore big smiles all weekend long, especially during Fido Follies.
This year's Follies theme was The Dog Aquatic, and we're blaming the rain on that clever idea. Does anyone else remember the MegaDogs year when the theme was Under the Sea? The Follies costumes were, as always, extremely creative in their reflection of the theme. The course was, as always, extremely creative in its requirements for dogs and handlers. The awards were, as always, extremely silly.
NATCHes were awarded to:
Bart Pierce and Bling - NATCH1
Mike Mason and Boogie - Versatility NATCH5
Pam Kaye and Panda - NATCH12
We saw some smokin' bonus runs. We enjoyed a super workers' raffle. We pigged out at a great Saturday potluck. We collected donations for Old Dog Haven through our ribbon exchange program and a small additional raffle.
And all of the super-great and enthusiastic work by those involved made it happen. Thanks to EVERYONE!
