Molly is a damn torpedo lol

Series of a dock dive featuring Chomper!

Today was awesome! Even though we had some unhappy campers with us, the rain stayed away and it wasn’t too hot or too cold, AND WE GOT A NEW RIBBON! I knew I should have practiced before throwing her off the dock, but I wasn’t thinking right and unfortunately instead of a beautiful jump, we got a humorous skidding off the dock. She slipped 4 feet 1 inches and after was honestly a little shaken and decided to not jump the rest of the day. But our slip up (literally) landed us in 3rd place out of 3 dogs in the novice category! It’s the best we could have hoped for honestly. I’m still so so proud and I’ll gladly take another dry dog ribbon too. One day we’ll soar off the dock again, even if it wasn’t today. I’m learning so much though about dog sports and Elektra in general! Besides, after the competition I went to the practice pond and with the help of some very sweet labs we got her flying off the dock like she knows how to do. Met some very nice people and I look forward to seeing them again! I’m really proud to say I’m part of the Chesapeake dock dogs.

She’s a weirdo she only jumps if there is something to the left of her. And only jumps from the left side of the dock. But she jumps and she has fun!

When she hits the chair, she’s done! Luna after a long day of dock diving and swimming

Our last dockdiving practice before baby got hurt 🙁 hopefully we’ll be back on the dock next year! She was finally starting to run and jump, no stopping! We miss it!

First dock diving g competition yesterday! Luna started the day with a high of 7'7" jump and ended with 9'+ as she grew more confident and wasn't hesitating so much. She did excellent at the event, was a little nervous at first but once she realized why she was there she just got excited. She loved watching the dogs jump off the dock and got excited when we would go anywhere near the dock stairs. We have another event in two weeks and can't wait!

We soared over the Novice catagory and went straight to Juniors, where we got fifth place in our group with a jump of 10 ft 6 inches! We're going to laugh at that score one day, but for today we'll celebrate!
