The Auburn event on Sept 15 & 16 has been canceled. So, looks like Andy will go up to Squaw Valley, Ca. to jump in the Art Barkfest Fun Jump event. All proceeds go to the local ASPC in Squaw Valley. Don't think I'll go this time, awful long drive for this old man ;) ...

Looking for a place to train Andy. Ot could be a swimming pool. It needs a ledge for him to see as he jumps, not a sloping bank. If you know of a place please let me know about it. Need a place to get him ready for the upcoming World Championships in AZ.
