Our 2nd Event! The Ely Pet & Wildlife Expo was held June 5-7 2009. A long wait from February to June. This year we are definately going to have to fill that void and get to some more events in between.
We were so excited for our second event. It was finally "Summer" and Nallah had a few chances to get out and swim already so she had that sparkle in her eye when we asked her....."Nallah....do you want to go SWIMMING?". Even a little practice time on the docks up at the in-laws. We were ready. We even went out and bought a brand new camera for our new obsession. A Canon Rebel XS to capture those action shots! 
This is how you pack for a long weekend of Dock Dogs!
We arrived in Ely mid afternoon. It was a little rainy & cloudy. About 60 out. Not too hot, not too cold. Nallah knew what we were going to do, and we both know she was excited about it. We were registered for the 1st wave on Saturday morning, but we wanted to get in a little practice when we got there. We attended the fun jump and I was SO HAPPY to see that Nallah was actually jumping off the dock! A little hesitation but she was getting the hang of it! That pool was no longer intimidating to her!!! 
Our first wave was AMAZING. Nallah was excited and ready to go SWIMMING! She made us all smile by jumping 11'2" and 12'2" in her first wave. I was THRILLED. She was getting the hang of it, and made some HUGE improvement since her first event! ; )
Second wave, we switched handlers again. We wanted to see how she would do with Jim. MORE IMPROVEMENT! First jump came in at 12'6" and second jump at 12'7"!!!!!!!
So that wrapped up our second event. We were extremely proud of Nallah and she has so much fun! This event left us completely and absolutely OBSESSED with Dock Dogs. We couldn't wait for our next event. Let the addiction begin..........
