If you go to the Pet Expo this weekend, be sure to see the Splash Dogs show. The competition involves dogs diving off a platform after a toy -- winners are determined by the length of their dive. 

Below are some photos I took Friday of the dogs preparing for the event (do they look ready to go or what?) and competing.

We have a fantastic 3 year old chocolate lab. On Sunday we signed Molly up for the practice session at the O.C. Pet Expo. It was her 1st time to try a JUMP in this great canine sport! Molly took to the water and jumping right off the dock as you would expect a lab to do! She was CRAZY wild and couldn't wait for her 2nd practice jump! Molly did so well we entered her in the competition event! It was great fun!
We had a wonderful time and enjoyed meeting the organizers and all the canine competitors & their handlers.

Immediately returning home we contacted
Learning To FLy in Orange County and booked Molly a reservation on May 9th to practice dock diving at their pool.

Thanks Splashdogs---we're "hooked"!

Susie, Tom & Molly

P.S. We rescued Molly from Southern California Labardor Rescue--another GREAT organization!

About the Bloggers

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.
