Happy Heavenly Birthday to our sweet Jaeger! 🤍🕊️ I still can’t believe you’re gone, and my heart misses you more than words can ever express. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and wish you were still here. You are loved and missed more than you’ll ever know. Forever in our hearts, Jaeger. ❤️‍🩹🐾

Night #2 of agility for Little Miss Tally, and this girl was a ROCK STAR again! ⭐️🐾💗
She was back at Mountain State K9 Academy and picked up right where she left off. Tally was focused, having a blast, and clearly LOVING every minute of it!
And then there was the tunnel… 😂🐶💨
Apparently, the tunnel is her new favorite thing! She flew through it like she had somewhere very important to be. Who needs a dock when you have an agility tunnel?! 🤣
So proud of this girl and how quickly she’s picking everything up. She may have found herself another sport to add to her résumé! 🏆🐾
Little Miss Tally: Dock dog, speed demon, and now apparently agility star. ⭐️💨

Last night, Little Miss Tally got to try something NEW! 🐾💗
We headed over to Mountain State K9 Academy for her very first agility training class, and this girl was an absolute ROCK STAR! ⭐️🐶
Tally took to the obstacles like she had been doing this her whole life. She was focused, confident, and having an absolute blast! 🥰💨
Of course, there were a few moments of “Wait…what are we doing?” 😂 But she figured it out quickly and showed us that apparently jumping off docks isn’t the only thing this girl can do!
So proud of our Little Miss Tally! 💕 Can’t wait to see what she can do as she learns more. Looks like we may have just added another sport to her résumé! 🏆🐾

🧚‍♀️🎉 THE INVITE FAIRY HAS SPOKEN! 🎉🧚‍♀️
The Invite Fairy visited Gambit, and apparently our handsome boy decided he needed another ticket to Worlds! 😂🐾
Gambit got his SECOND World Championship invite in Big Air with Mom!

That means our boy will be competing in BIG AIR AND EXTREME VERTICAL at Worlds this year! 🎉🎉

Now… about that jumping part. 😂🤦‍♀️
Gambit has had a serious case of PUPPY BRAIN on the dock this year. 🤪 He knows how to jump. He has jumped BIG. He just occasionally forgets all of that when it’s his turn! 😂

So our goal for Worlds is simple: Gambit, please remember what you’re there to do! 🤣 And if the puppy brain decides to make an appearance, that’s okay too. At least he’ll have the prettiest locks on the dock!💇‍♂️😂 Our sweet Fabio boy is ready for his Worlds photo shoot! ❤️🐾

BIG AIR. EXTREME VERTICAL. FABULOUS HAIR.

Sounds like a pretty good Worlds plan to us! 😂🏆

We couldn’t be more excited and proud of our GG the Great Gambino! 🥰🐾 photo is of him pretending to be a cow and eating the grass at Broomfield.

🧚‍♀️✨ The Invite Fairy visited Reka today! ✨🧚‍♀️
Our little countdown queen added Big Air #6 invites with BOTH Mom AND Dad, plus a Veteran Big Air invite with Dad! 🎉🐾
So, at Worlds, Miss Reka will be competing in:
🏆 Dueling Dogs with Dad
🏆 Veteran Big Air with Dad
🏆 Big Air #6 with Mom
That’s a whole lot of jumping for our little sour-but-sweet mama! 😂💗 And somehow, we’re pretty sure she’ll still find a way to give us That Look when someone starts the countdown. 😆
We did decline one of the Big Air #6 invites, so hopefully another lucky team that has been waiting patiently gets some good news from the Invite Fairy soon! 🧚‍♀️🍀
Worlds, here we come! 💗🐾🏆

Happy Barkday, Reka!! It is hard to believe you are 8 years old today. Our sour but sweet mama dog, who dances to the beat of her own drum. Sweet one minute… sour the next… and somehow ALWAYS doing things her own way! 😂💗

Here’s to another year of doing things YOUR way, Reka! May your birthday be filled with treats, tennis balls, swimming, and absolutely ZERO countdowns when you’re ready to jump! 😂🏊‍♀️🎾

Happy Barkday, Miss Reka! We love you more than you’ll ever admit you deserve. 👑 😘❤️🐾

💦🐾 The Invite Fairy, We’re Waiting… 🧚‍♀️😂

We spent the weekend at Jasper’s Splash Zone for their 2026 Wild Card Double Header, because apparently we needed to spend an entire weekend watching our dogs launch themselves into a pool in hopes of earning a few more invites to the World Championships. 🤷‍♀️🏆🌎

Mission accomplished… sort of! 😂
Tanya & Tally should officially earn their Dueling Dogs invite, and Ron & Reka should get theirs too! 🎉🐕💦

Now we’re just sitting here patiently… okay, impatiently… waiting for the Invite Fairy 🧚‍♀️ to sprinkle a little magic our way and deliver a couple of Big Air invites for Reka and Gambit. We’re counting on a few pass-downs, some good karma, and the fact that we competed at a sanctioned facility. So basically, we have a very solid plan: hope really, really hard. 😂🤞

It was awesome seeing so many old DockDogs friends and meeting some new ones. ❤️ These weekends are always better when you get to catch up, laugh, cheer each other on, and watch everyone’s dogs do crazy things for a bumper.

We also found a new campground — Gopher Gulch — and it might have just earned a spot on our favorites list! Only about 30 minutes away, gated, paved AND they have a dog lending-stick library. 🐶🪵🎾 Because obviously the dogs need access to recreational equipment while Mom and Dad are trying to relax. 😂

Now we’re counting down to the Last Chance Qualifier in Broomfield in a few weeks, where we’ll get to hang out with our local DockDogs family one more time before Worlds!

Until then… 🧚‍♀️ Dear Invite Fairy, we have been very good. Mostly. Please check your list again. 😂🤞💦

🏁💨 Two new titles and one very proud mama! 🏆🐾
Today was a FAST day for the crew! 💨 Tally and Gambit both earned their DCAT titles in FastCAT! 🎉
These two brought the speed, the focus, and just enough crazy to make it fun. 😂 Watching them fly down that course and earn those titles was pretty darn special!
And, of course, we had to get a picture with their proud mama, Reka, because she no longer does FastCat. ❤️🐾
So proud of these two little speed demons! Congratulations Tally & Gambit — DCAT! 🏆💨

✨ The invite fairy has struck again! ✨

Miss Talladega Nights — Tally — is headed back to the World Championships in Speed Retrieve, this time with her dad! 🏆💨

Last year, Tally and Mom hit the podium with a 3rd place finish in Tier 4 Speed Retrieve, so we’re pretty excited to see what this little speed demon can do with Dad this year! 🥉
And if you know Tally, you know she likes to GO FAST—especially with Dad! 💨 She swam too fast for the bubble with him at Worlds last year. 😂

She has already earned her invitations in Dueling Dogs, Iron Dog, and now Speed Retrieve, and we couldn’t be more proud of how much this girl has accomplished.

Now we’ll wait a few more weeks to see if Mom gets her own invite with Tally. Because clearly, Tally has decided that one World Championship partner is not enough. She needs options. 😂❤️

We are so excited to watch our “I Wanna Go Fast” girl take on Worlds again—and this time, Dad gets to hang on for the ride! 🐾💨🏆
