Heads up! It’s predicted to be pretty warm tomorrow afternoon/evening. Please keep this in mind when making plans to come to the fun run league Wednesday from 4-7.

There will be limited shade in the paddock area for people waiting their turn, and the wading pools will be available for cooling dogs. If you have shade or fans for your vehicle, it’s a good time to break those out.

If your dog struggles with exercise or excitement in the heat, particularly older dogs, giant breeds, flat-faced dogs and dogs that just aren’t very fit yet, be sure you are paying close attention on these warmer days. 🌞

Also — we have punch cards! They will be available for purchase tomorrow — 50 dollars for a ten run card — and on the TopDogNW website soon.

Please remember to put your dogs in a quiet safe place tonight! This is the time of year when the most dogs go missing. Have a fun but safe 4th.

Week One of the Summer Nights fun run league is in the books. Whether your dog posted a superstar time or stopped to smell the roses, we hope you had a great time and will come back to play again! If you didn’t make it out yet, you can join us at any time!

Fastest time for the week one was Donut.
***Correction!*** Fastest non-Sighthound time was Chips
Turtle Award goes to Maverick (his second time was faster but didn’t make it on the board)
Most Entertaining was Jazzey.
Best Puppy Distance was Butters.
P**p Award goes to Georgia!

Also ignore the sizes for now. :)

Thanks to George Stone for sharing his PaNoWe University spreadsheet and my daughter for helping me stumble through it. If I made any errors or you can help fill in the blanks feel free to comment!

See you next week starting at 4:00PM for more fast, friendly fun!

Another new dock dog. We had 3 new dock dogs this week during private lessons. Be sure to book your pool time this summer. No toxic algae here!

Wow, what a turn out! This community continues to amaze me. Over 35 dogs and more next week. We can call it an international league because Nelson came down from Canada. 😁
Thank you for your patience last night, we are making some changes to help it run a little smoother next time. 🤞

New hours 4 to 7 pm

Can't wait to see you all next week!
