Katrina and Tim, that is a bummer, we have been talking about Hoss all year, since the last apa nationals, I had him or Crowbar picked to take the MWP title again, I hope something happens to change your mind, but if not I understand, Hoss is a BIG BOY !!
Have a Blessed Day ..........

Thank you Greg. But sometimes life throws things at you that make you change your plans. We made sure we got our 5 pulls and were saving up for the trip. But...

We were looking forward to seeing everybody again. Last year was a lot of fun. People asked us why we spend that kind of money when it does not go the dogs' pedigrees. We told them about the good people and good dogs and the experience of last year. I think we helped some of the people from the PNW decide to go this year. I am glad the price of gas is going down for them.

Hoss and Crowbar are still young dogs so they will have more chances to pull against each other. I am hoping I can make it to an IWPA pull in Colorado this winter to see if Hoss can even the score. :-)

And I owe Mark a fast food meal (his Broncos stomped my Raiders) so I better pay up before interest penalties make it a steak meal at a fancy restaurant. LOL

Good luck to everybody at APA nationals. Drive safe and remember to have fun.

Tim, I understand everything is very costly these days,
it was a pleasure meeting you and your wife last year,
ya'll were very nice, I hope to see you at the APA Nationals
next year, I hope I meet somemore PNW pullers this year at nationals that are as freindly as you guys,
I'll take a bunch of videos and post them when I get back home,
Take Care and Work Them Dogs !!!!!!!!!

Does anybody know who the judge is going to be?

[mealer]

Mark, I hope you guys make it, I enjoy watching your dogs pull,
you can train some dogs to pull, I've seen that with my own eyes,

Bob, I have no idea who will be judging, I just hope they pull every class by there self and dont run them all together,
thats normally what happens when the big dogs get up, everyone is tired so they SLAM DUNK them with weight,
but Im pretty sure they will run each class since they only have 61 and over on Sun. its gonna be a good show you can count on that
APA ALL THE WAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU DONT PULL, IT DONT MATTER

I will be the judge for championships and all classes will pull seperatly. I will not SLAM DUNK the weight. All the dogs will get the chance to pull as much weight as they can. So everybody have a safe trip and GOOD LUCK to EVERYBODY.
