One of Bells favorite activitys is to go "swimming". I am not talking about being calm and placid, swimming peacefully in the lake. I am taking about BARKING your head off, SCREAMING down the dock and BLASTING off the end as crazily as possible. Thats what "swimming" means to the red dog. And don't you DARE say that word if you don't mean it. Or else you will have a barking maniac. Her first competition was at the Great Outdoor Festival in Oshkosh in late summer 2004. She had an absolute blast and jumped 16.06 as her best jump. We were totally and completely hooked! Since then we have attended almost every competition that is within a 5 hour radius going from Green Bay, to Owatonna MN, and down to Yorkville Ill. Bell likes to jump for her Dokken Dead Fowl Trainers, her Tennis Ball and also in winter she prefers a big ball like a deflated Basketball. Bell has earned the following titles in Dock Dogs -National Senior Jumper -Regional Master Jumper Personal Bests: 19.07 National Event into a pond 20.08 National Event into a Pool 23.?? Regional (eyeballed) into a pond 20.02 Regional into a pool (indoors, also eyeballed) |
