Barkin on the River
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 The Droolin Dragsters drove to Memphis to compete in Barkin on the River U-Fli tournament hosted by Fetchin Frenzi, at the St Jude Showcase of Dogs. The weekend was a challenge for the team. We took one team, a combination of both Hot Rods and Low Riders and we went short handed. Saturday we had five dogs, Mikki, Mikey, Amber, Batty, Riley, and only 3 handlers and no box loader. We drafted Michael, Kim’s son, to run our fourth dog and borrowed a box loader from another team. Even with the dogs running in an unfamiliar team order we still had a lot of clean runs, if a little slow and managed to pull Third Place.
Lea and Misty made it up Sunday morning with their three dogs, giving us a six dog team and enough people for handlers and our box loader. Riley, Bella, Autumn, Blaze, Mikey, and Batty ran on Sunday and we managed to pull First Place in our division!
