Bubbles (Scott) came in first at The Classic K-9 Show in the jumping contest. Bubbles jumped 48 inches without knocking a bar down!!! Way to go Bubbles! Zeda (Kolavchick) followed Bubbles in second place with a jump height of 46. Both dogs had participated in events all day and still had the energy to finish the afternoon with the jumping contest. Crystal is a student at Canine Affair and Debbie is one of our instructors. Both teams were definite crowd pleasers!

I’d like to thank Tom Likovic for designing some of the holders, having them made and getting them up, with help from Dorothy. Our sandbag wagons seem to be working well and should make it easier to use and put away. Now everything has it’s place and it looks great! Thank you Tom and Dorothy for making this happen.

Thank you to all who helped make it something very special and to the approximately 75 friends who took the time to join us. Amy was a special person who touched many lives and she is missed. Please keep Tim and River in your prayers.

We are so grateful for our volunteers who did a wonderful job talking about Canine Affair Center and answering lots and lots of questions from the public about our classes. It’s so nice to have our students also be able to talk about A Dog’s Life as well. Thanks for being there for us.  Thanks to Karen, Dee, Ann, Linda, Kay, Dorothy, Michelle and Emma. Grandma Lucy’s anyone?
