Sharing the Spotlight Aint All It's Cracked Up To Be!

Not to brag or anything, but when it comes to weight pull I am quite good. I have a whole lotta ribbons I've earned in not much time. And, this season I am #1 for the 40-60 lb class in my region so far with the IWPA. Weight pull is really fun for me, everyone cheers and claps and I get to be the center of attention. It isn't very hard either, I usually just sit it out when I feel like it's getting hard. . although it makes daddy sad sometimes.

But, this year I may need to step it up a notch. I am not just going to be competing against those in my weight class, but also against my own daughter- for ribbons won!

Atreyu started training last month and she is showing promise. No doubt a testament to her mother's good genes. But, I certainly do not want to be shown up by my 35 lb pipsqueak of a pup.

I fear she may have a one up on me energy wise. It's like that pup never stops. She could run circles around me all day, and she usually does.

Either way as long as we can pull I think it will be a good day. The Humaniacs are always trying to find new and creative ways to make it look like we dogs do not enjoy pulling. But, truth be told many of us hate water, hoops, tennis balls, Frisbee and all the other sporting things which we could do. And, for us weight pull is a great way to prove we are the top dog! It also keeps us in shape, lets us bond and play with our owners and we get to travel to competition!
