The Bloopers

- This is the opposite of a blooper, but to show off Lizzie's amazing bounceability, Angie announced she could not only jump OVER the hammock, but that she would jump over it with someone sleeping in it. She did. The proof? (IFD 09/07)
- Remind us not to let Barbara drink too much when we are staying in a hotel in Albert Lea with all the Sturgis bikers. NO ONE needs to hear that Barbara wants to moon all the bikers in the parking lot! Ouch. (08/07)
- Super 8, Albert Lea. The special suite on the top floor. We can all fit, we can all party. Let the good times roll! Except, um, they gave the room to someone else. Confirmation number? Doesn't matter. Notes and names of person talked to? Yep, it was him, he remembers, he's sorry, but we still can't get the suite. Complain, wait, listen to phone calls, complain, wait. In the end, he gave us two rooms for the price of one. Not quite so convenient for partying, but still good enough for Barbara to moon bikers! (08/07)
- Barbara (bulging disc) and Beth (hip redo #2) were comparing medications and Beth mistakenly heard Barbara say her RX was for Cialis (penis med) instead of Celebrex (pain med). Beth was laughing so hard she was crying and when asked if she needed adult diapers, she said, "that depends." (02/07)
- Keep out of Angie's way when she's using the duct tape roller! Angie duct-taped Mary's power vacuum to the mat during set-up for our Skidz on Ice tournament on 2/02/07.
It Happens...

- Sunday end of the the second day of the HH spring tourney (5/8/11), Jacci didn't come in to shag, so on the runback Lizzie is looking for her. She can't find her so she exits the ring via the other team's side. With Adam yelling for her, she circles the backstop then ends up on the outside of the ring barriers on our side. She jumps the barrier to get back to Adam and Jo is standing right there with her back to Lizzie playing tug with Sherman. This proved to be no obstacle as Lizzie cleared the barrier then slipped right between Jo's legs from behind and back to Adam! It was just so smooth it didn't seem real! Never even touched Jo (or interrupted tug game.) Nicole, Adam and Jayne all burst out laughing, and Jo just looked kinda stunned (where did THAT come from?)! (submitted by Jayne)
- Submitted by Jayne (DGD 11/07): Eleven-year-old Zoe continues her descent into senility, this time marring an otherwise flawless weekend by needing to stop to smell Jacci's pants. While not normally a bad thing, it is when Jacci is the boxloader! Zoe got back on task once she checked out the mysterious stain, but the 10.7 second split didn't do much to help her vets team win that race. [Jacci adds: It's always the boxloader's fault. Zoe, start dog running on a vets team, stops after triggering the box to sniff Jacci’s jeans. Zoe remembers suddenly about the ball, retrieves ball from near the backstop, and returns to Jayne, a 10.2 second clean run.]
- Submitted by Jayne (DGD 11/07): Cisco was so excited about flyball that he found himself in the very embarassing position of not being able to move! His "5th leg" was hanging so low it hampered his ability to jump out of the van. Thankfully his big brother Alta (who would never do anything so ridiculous) filled in for him that race!
- Okay, so Angie's always late. Everyone knows that. She cruises in at the last possible moment, just before we need her dog for the next race. Especially if racing starts early in the morning. As it usually does. We try to compensate by telling her racing starts earlier than it actually does. Generally, to no avail. So, we're in race #3. Racing has started. No sign of Angie. Race #2 ... no Angie. It's a 4-dog team. We called her. "I'm really sorry, I left late -- I'm still 1/2 hour away." In a panic, we run in and beg Lori with host team IFD please to let us add an emergency dog (Ruby) to the line-up because Angie's not here! Lori let's us. Race #3, we all head in, including Steve with Ruby. Got'cha! There's Angie, waiting patiently for the race to begin. She'd been the first to arrive that morning (because we had all told her yesterday racing started 1/2 hour earlier than it actually did). As soon as she discovered she'd been had, she began to plot. She parked far away and watched us all arrive, watched us all begin to panic. And then, with impeccable timing, walked in just in time for the race. In a somewhat feeble attempt to get back at her, Steve and Adam searched out her van, locked it, and confiscated the keys in the hope she'd think she'd locked them inside. Angie, smarter than the average bear, was not taken in by this. Score: Skidz 0, Angie 10. (IFD 09/07)
- Submitted by Jayne & Barbara (Omaha 4-Play 04/07): Rippy's Tumor. Steve was all concerned because he felt a seriously large bump on Rippy's belly. Then in front of all of us Barbara had him look at Rippy's belly and he discovered that the tumors were actually just Rippy's nipples. In Steve's defense, since she's not spayed they are larger. J
- Submitted by Jayne & Barbara (Omaha 4-Play 04/07): Cisco's Death Defying Dive. So Cisco really loves that orange Cuz Ball and every once in a while he gets it out of the tug and it goes bouncing all over. Well Omaha has ring gating and the Cuz Ball bounced thru one of the holes & Cisco wasn't about to let it get away. I could just see what was going to happen, he was going to smash into the gating and knock down the entire side with a tremendous crash, causing major embarassment. But instead, quicker than I can say CISCO NO, he just jumped THRU the gating. He was so smooth about it, it was difficult to believe he had actually done it! I picked him up from the other side - didn't want to tempt fate by having him come back through.
