Nick,

She got dropped after the 3rd in her first derby. Then she won 3 of the next 4, Jamming last week. Steve said it was because she knew I was there and that I can't come to any more field trials. Too bad, she's going to have to get used to it, I'm going to have to handle her. She would be special to me if she couldn't mark. She's just a cool dog.

Thanks,
Dave

[Ted Shih]

Thanks to the Judges
- Don Driggers and Charles Bearden (Open)
- Ken McCartney and Mike Schafer (Am)

And to the club members (I apologize for leaving anyone's names out)
- Bart and Nola Peterson
- Ted Brewer
- Vern Tellitz
- Jeff Hess

For their efforts

On Saturday, temperatures were in the high 30's and low 40's with a driving 25 mph wind, rain, snow, and just plain nasty

The contestants got to sit in their protective (and warm) vehicles. The judges and workers did not

And congratulations to Lainee, who made a hard run for the brass ring.

Alas, West Nebraska was Zowie's last field trial.

Last year, at 9 1/2, his brother Ace told me that he no longer wanted to run field trials. Not in the marks, but in the water blinds. As Kip said, each dog has a finite limit of water blinds in it.

This year, at 10 1/2, Zowie told me that it was time to bring him home.

So, now he gets to lie on the couch, belch, fart, watch TV and enjoy life in retirement.

He was my first FT dog ... and the first to bear the Freeridin name

Where does the time go?

[kip]

congrats to lanse and ted. great weekend. i hope lanse didnt get out of control.

[FOM]

And congratulations to Lainee, who made a hard run for the brass ring.

Thanks, I learned a LOT about my dog this past weekend, found some very needed confidence in his ability, not to mention just how important teamwork can really help.....it was good to play all weekend.



Alas, West Nebraska was Zowie's last field trial.

Wow, I did not realize this.....Give the "old man" an ear scratching for me.....

See you next weekend....

Lainee, Flash and "Butthed"

[FOM]

Way to go lanniee and Bullet :p You will be getting the tin soon.

I hope so....you get get "tin" unless you get to the 4th.......it is nice to go home with a ribbon....

Lanie,

A HUGH congratulations from Petey and Me! Your hard work is paying off & you and Bullet will be at the end more and more. It's just the way those Cruise Kids are!

It's always a thrill to finish your first all-age. Now you know what it takes to get there & you will work harder to get there more and more. We are proud of you!

Actually Butthead and I "finished" one last year - it was UGLY, but the judges were kind enough to let me take home a Greenie.....it was kind of funny because they were telling me not to give up when I was trying to convience Butthead he was NOT a billy goat - I came close to yelling "NO HERE!" several times.....but the judegs kept after me, to keep working with him, they could of easily of not given me a greenie and that would of been a valid thing to do, but they also know how hard it is to get a finish in an AA stake - they knew how important a green ribbon can be.......it is a memory I'll cherish for years to come.....

This greenie however, was hard fought.....Bullet was a very, very good boy.....if I can take the lessons I learned from this weekend and improve I think we just might find some real color! He is a pretty neat dog......glad he is mine!

FOM

[Buzz]

Lainee, good on you and Bullet. :cool:
