Bark in the Park - Competitions

Carmie You've seen me post on the Incredible Dog Challenge Purina sponsors around the country, the most recent being in San Diego. Well, during our trip here in Erie, Co, we got to experience a smaller version of the Incredible Dog Challenge...sort of.

At Bark in the Park, there were a number of interesting and fun events going on, including "treat toss" and "frisbee toss" and even a demonstration by scent tracking dogs (who followed the scent in my daughter's sneaker to find her way across the park - but really now, YOU could have found her from the scent in her sneaker! Don't tell her I said that...)

Luckily, we were there and got to see these family dogs do their thing. And, we got some video of it. Notice the outstanding performance of the Golden Lab at the end of our video. Personally, I think he's got talent. We weren't able to stick around and ask if he does this routinely, around the area...OR... if, maybe, he's going to try out for the Incredible Dog Challenge.

But, don't you think he should? I do! (Twiggy ran the 25 yard dash...and we think she won, but, again, we had to leave before they announced the winners; really, tho, she's a Greyhound and I did not see any other Greyhounds in the competition...so who do you think won? Yes, she was fast!)
