Trial Results from NJ Trial!

[RTPappalardo]

We had crazy weather on Saturday. First it was nice, then cloudy, then hot, then stormy and lastly, the humidity came. But it was a fun weekend and I hope everyone had a great time. I know I did! Even though Clint and I didn't pass, it was one of the best trial experiences I've had.

First we have to thank Jerry for coming to judge for us and apprentice judges Mike McMahon and Janet Dooley. Mike's surprise scenarios for the 2's were challenging, yet fun at the same time. Thank you Jonathan Katz for stewarding.

Thank you to all our decoys. We are so touched by your tribute to Car by wearing his name on your bite suits. We are so happy to know that he had so many friends.....

I've said this before, but I'm going to say this again. Thank you to our Bushido K9 club members for helping us put on another successful trial. Without you, Dave and I wouldn't be able to show. We are grateful for all the assistance and support you give to us. And a special thank you to Trial Secretary Jen Newman. She makes my life easier on trial days.....
