The Carnival is in town

OK maybe this is a bit outdated but since I have the photos, might as well post on this event. This event was organized by the Pet-N-You committee with the generous sponsorship from Eukanuba. It is mainly an event dedicated to dog sports fan and activities ranged from obedience and agility trials to basic canine games. The turn out was fairly impressive considering we had more than 60 over entries, indeed a positive outlook for all canine lovers in the nation. It was an early morning for some of us whom were helping to set up and make last minute preparations prior to the crowd's arrival.

Setting up and enjoying a short break

Although we were all huffing and puffing like maniacs, in the end we managed to pull it together to kick start the trials at a reasonable time of 8-8:30am. Most competing canines were kept in their kennels by their anxious owners to shield them away from the smoldering hot sun. Guess having the sun is better than the rain...

Big winnings throughout the event with participants from different dog training organizations taking home a chunk of the prizes. Cami took part in Novice agility and gamblers, and managed to take the 2nd and 3rd spots respectively. Groovy, the dog to beat, was the winner of both classes while Archer, the MS, took 3rd spot for novice agility. Sissy, the mixy, was at her peak as she swept the 1st prize for maxi jumpers class and 2nd prize for maxi novice. Our other mate, Angel took home the 2nd prize for gamblers and 3rd prize for maxi novice.

All in all, it was a fun day in the sun and prize bags were everywhere. I must say that very rarely do we see prizes filled up to the brim of the bag so a big kudos to our generous sponsor. Cami is already looking forward to the next event as she continues to help us chase our quest to fill up the display cabinet with more of her trophies *grin*

Pooped out
