I’m a little late in posting these pictures, but I hope you’ll think it was worth the wait! These are from the Purina Incredible Dog Challenge Regional Finals in San Diego last month. This premier canine sporting event features dogs competing in a variety of events including dog surfing, dog diving, freestyle flying disc, head-to-head weave poles, Jack Russell hurdle racing and agility.

Purina Incredible Dog Challenge in Atlanta
The Purina Incredible Dog Challenge was at Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park on April 2nd. All breeds of dogs were welcome, participating in dog diving, agility, weave-pole races, Jack Russell racing, and freestyle Frisbee events. They even fielded a baseball team. The videos from these Eastern Regional Finals are available on BarkNet. There was no way for me to embed them here -sorry! You’ll have to make due here with the still photos they sent along.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Last week, we focused on the movies. This week, it’s TV’s turn.
Some of the dogs on classic sitcoms are just window dressing. Others are part of the family. Some have even been known to steal a scene or two. Which one’s your favorite?
Saturday Survey: And the Canine Oscar goes to…
It’s Oscar weekend! I don’t think a dog has ever won an Oscar, or even appeared on the red carpet (what would they wear???) but if they could win, which one is most deserving?
