This had been one our favorite dock diving events in the past. We loved attending this event in both 2015 and 2016 . We camped at Sunset Beach Resort (another favorite!)
Although were extremely excited to be back a third year in a row in July 2017, the weather this year was just unbearably hot. We tried jumping the dogs, but by the time Limoncello’s came up, the temperatures were a real-feel of over 103 degrees… too hot and dangerous to compete in our opinion.
Hooch
Big Air:
22’8″ 23’5″ 2nd Place Elite Division
Lager
Big Air:
16’2″ 17’3″
Even though the one jump that Lager and Hooch executed put them into the Finals, we scratched our jumps for the rest of the weekend, and forfeited our spot in the Finals. We chose to make the best of the remainder of the weekend, and enjoy the campground with the dogs.
Back to the campground to enjoy some Chesapeake Bay fun!
It sure wasn’t the weekend we thought it would be, and people thought we were crazy to give our spot in Finals…but our dogs’ safety and health come first. We made the best of the hot temps, and enjoyed cooling everyone off in the Chesapeake Bay. A bad storm eventually rolled in, but the outcome was a beautiful double rainbow, and a gorgeous sunset!
Kudos to you!! I LOVE that you put your dog’s safety and health first!! You are pawesome pet parents! I can tell your dogs had a fabulous time!
Thank you so much! We had a good time despite not being able to compete!
It looks as if the gang appreciated your decision too. What a beautiful place to spend some quality time with the dogs and stay cool.
Thank you!
