Dogs & Logs on Outdoor Channel

1 Comment

Do you get the Outdoor Channel?  If so, tune in this Saturday for Dogs and Logs, a combination lumberjack and dock diving show.

This is really the origins of Dock Diving.  ESPN was looking for something to use as filler between events at an outdoorsman competition, and thought it might be interesting to do something with dogs.  Someone at ESPN contacted a friend in Medina, Ohio, who came up with the Dock Diving concept, and the sport was born.

In celebration of those beginnings, the Stihl IronJack (Ironman Lumberjack), includes the IronDog competition, where dogs compete in Big Air, Extreme Vertical, and Speed Retrieve to earn the title.

In my area, Dogs and Logs airs Saturday, November 20th at 2:30 pm, and re-runs Sunday, November 21st at 3:00 am.  This event is the semi-finals from Salem, Oregon.

There was a preview of the show today – if you watch this weekend, pay special attention to something you almost never see:  the handler falls into the pool!  Too funny.

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!

Lions and tigers and…dogs???

Check out these lion clubs playing at the Colorado Wildlife Sanctuary with some of the 13 dogs who live there. This sounds kind of familiar to me, but I’m not sure if I posted it before. (And yes, I am too lazy to look for it!) Sorry if it’s a duplicate – but worth watching a second time, if it is. The clip is from the Today Show.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Thanks to friend-of-the-blogger Craig for sharing these wonderful pictures of his new buddy.  It’s pretty exciting – apparently Cinjun’s litter mate lives with Billy Joel!  This beautiful dog came from Woodleigh Farms  and hunting preserve in Ontario, Canada.

I just loved Craig’s captions, so had to give you the whole show he sent!

Until next time,

Good day, and good dog!
