Hooch now has his first winery visit under his belt! Β Cello’s dock diving practice was held at Detour Vineyard and Winery in Keymar, MD. Β Cello had already been to this winery when she participated in the PuppyPalooza dock diving event earlier this season.
For this event, weΒ stayed at Granite Hill Campground in Gettysburg, PA, as this was the closest full-hookup campground to the winery.
Granite Hill is located on a 150 acre Civil War Era farm.
The campground had a cute “Red Shed Cafe” that offered breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Cello crossed over the Mason Dixon Line to get to and from the PuppyPalooza dock diving event!
Detour WineryΒ is located in Keymar, Md. Β We drove on some really beautiful country roads to get there. The wineryΒ providedΒ free tastings of their wines for the dock dogs participants, and offered wine by the bottle or glass for sale. Β They were also selling a really cool wine “sippy cup” that I just HAD to have…!
This was the first contest that we have attended where the dock was set up into a pond instead of a pool.
Although it started out as NOT Cello’s weekend, she wrapped it up nicely with a spot in the finals, and earned Second Place in the Masters Division Finals with a jump of 22’8″, just one inch shy of her personal best.
Cello’s results from PuppyPalooza were as follows:
Day 1, Saturday, May 31
19′ 11″ Β Β 18′ 8″ Β Β Β Cello did not place in this wave.
17′ 7″ Β Β Β 19′ 6″ Β Β Β Cello did not place in this wave.
