Ora the Pit Bull

Saturday Sept 19th the MNDDC was invited to hold a competition at Richfields Cattail days. It turned out to be quite warm for being so late in the season and all the dogs seemed to have a blast. We brought Ora along to get her disc on but I opted to sit the event out to help with judging and what not. Luckily Amy got the bug so she was eager to take the field for both distance/accuracy and freestyle.

We had a great turnout for the day and got to see some nice routines. It was kind of bitter sweet event though since our disc season was at an end. As we packed up the club trailer and got loaded everyone said their goodbyes and went their separate ways. Looking back however, this was an amazing year in so many ways. Oras illness and continued recovery still has me amazed. To this day she still seems to grow in strength and it gives me great hope knowing that she may recover enough to take to the air.

The club also made some great showings attending a couple national events in force and 2 of our club members where even invited to Chine to compete in a major competition over seas. There were so many things learned and many new faces, human and canine alike, that got involved this year for the first time. Its truly a joy to see the club grow and expand. New people from all over the state, and beyond, join us to play with their dogs and build the bond!
