Day 1 at the World Disc Dog Finals

So we arrived in Georgia on Friday night. There was a mandatory players meeting at the hotel (no dogs allowed, hmpff!). Mom stayed at the hotel with Starr, Bokeh and I while dad attended the meeting. Friday night wasn't too much fun in the hotel. All the new sounds and smells. Bokeh and I were barking at every little noise. Mom thought Starr would be the uneasy one at the hotel but you can tell from the photo below she made herself right at home.

Saturday morning we woke up and got ready to head over to the park where the world finals were being held. We arrived and got our tent all set up. We had a small problem though...Bokeh wouldn't poop. He hadn't pooped in over 24 hours and mom and dad were getting a little concerned. Finally about an hour or so before Bokeh performed he finally pooped. Right before he went in the ring dad pottied him again and he peed 3 times. So...of all the things that could go wrong at the world finald we never though Bokeh would poop in the ring during his routine but....as you can see by the video below Bokeh decided that two minutes of the day was the perfect time to poop again. Dad was heartbroken as he has been working so hard with Bokeh for months prior preparing for this. The USDDN doesn't play when it comes to going potty in the ring so time got stopped and Bokeh only got judged on one minute of his routine and also had 5 points deducted from his score. Poor Bokeh and dad. Dad kept his chin up and said it was still an honor just to be invited. We got to watch the disc dog people we have seen and admired through You Tube in real life and it was AWESOME!

Before the events began they had the Boyscouts present the flag

  4. There it is now. Bummer for sure. All that running must have gotten things moving:) You did so well up until they stopped the clock. Too bad they have that rule. We bet you would have done great.

  8. I guess the performance anxiety got the best of Bokeh. Like you said it sure was an honor to be invited. Keeping fingers crossed for an invite next year too.

  9. You cannot argue with THAT call of nature! It was an incredible honor to just be invited and we love to watch Bokeh perform, even if there is an unexpected break in the action!
