BevLive: The Last Day

So another blog comes to an end. I’m sitting in a Cabela’s in eastern Pennsylvania thinking back on my trip. Needless to say I’m disappointed that my dogs and I didn’t do better. On the other hand I feel like Nel and Meg got an enormous amount out of the trip. Meg certainly exceeded my wildest expectations, although she bombed big times at the finals she showed me that she was capable of some real nice stuff. Nel showed she had tons of heart and the determination to move mountains. Clearly we need to help her find some way to move these mountains besides nibbling away at their legs, but that’s what winters are for.

Mirk is a tougher question. I was disappointed by some of his performances especially at Soldier Hollow, however, in the semi finals on Saturday he blew me away with one of the best performances of our partnership. So we’ll see.

I certainly need to change my travel arrangements. I just stopped to tie a piece of my fender to my trailer with a piece of baling twine. This is ridiculous. I feel a horse trailer in my future. I will need to do some house cleaning to get my junk pared down, but what else are winters good for?

Was a fun trip as always. Tiring, disappointing and exhilarating–the perfect definition of dog trailing. Thanks to all my patient readers who have slogged their way through yet another travelog.
