Waukesha, WI Dockdogs

Another awesome weekend. The food people sure are doing things right so far this summer!
We went up to Waukesha, WI for an event put on by the Wisconsin Dockdogs Club.
Lots of great people and we got to stay with my Uncle Kevin and my cousin, Ollie. (OK, Kevin isn't really my uncle and Ollie isn't really my cousin, but who's counting?)
We got there Friday afternoon and helped set up the pool. Sadly, I had to sit in the car and wait. I was not pleased about this. When they finally got done, the food lady convinced the food man that I should get to take a few practice jumps. Whew, it was worth the wait.
Saturday morning we were up and at 'em pretty early.
I jumped the first wave with the food lady and guess what? Yep, I caught it again. We had a personal best of 19' 9" on that jump.
The food man played with Ryder in the first wave and he did great!!
The rest of the day I jumped for the food man. He is doing a much better job of throwing my duck these days which makes me very happy.
Ryder spent the rest of the day jumping for the food lady. He gets very nervous with all the loud music and people, so the Wisconsin people were nice enough to turn the music off and tell everyone to be quiet. Still some hesitation jumping, but he is getting a little faster. Good boy little brother.
Sunday rolled around and we had 2 more waves left to jump. Ryder and the food man jumped a 9' 6" to secure themselves a spot in the novice finals. The food lady jumped me again and we set another personal best: 20' 10"!!! Way to go food lady to not screw me up. So proud of her.
Finals were that afternoon, Ryder and the food man took home 2Nd place in Novice finals and I took home 4Th place in Master finals.


I am being a total show off in this picture.

Oh Ryder :)

Ahem, Ryder is getting some press now too.
He made the Milwaukee newspaper.
I hope he doesn't start getting too big for his britches.
There is only so much room for rockstars in our house.


We are heading out to Dubuque, Iowa on Friday for another Dockdogs event. I can't wait to strut my stuff again. I am good like that.
