Blue Paddle Videos!

We thought it would be fun to post videos from time to time to share with our Paddle Friends.   Some may be informative, some may be of our guests (with their approval, of course) ... but most will likely be of us having fun. 

Hope you enjoy ...

Wyeth in her First Dock Dog "Big Air" Competition

After only two practice sessions in the official Dock Dog pool at the Champlain Valley Fair, Wyeth does phenomenal!  This WCAX video (aired 8/30/10) showcases Judge Linda Leavitt and her wonderful dog, Madison.  Great story!  

There are 2 short clips of Wyeth jumping;  watch closely.  (Click on photo to enlarge!)  Please visit our Photo Gallery page to see more Dock Dog pictures ...

 

Wyeth Preparing for the Dock Dog Competition

8-1/2 month old German Wirehaired Pointer pup practices for the upcoming Dock Dog competition.    One of the rules of the "Big Air" competition is that only one handler can be on the dock with the dog so the "stay" command will be useful!   Of course, we had to say hello to our friend, Jan of Mason Creek Kennel, in the video ...

Dock Dogs will be at the Champlain Valley Fair this year - we're entered in 3 events!  Come & cheer us on!

 

Mary's Joke #6 (finally!)

It's been a long time since Mary's last joke ... but clearly she hasn't lost her gift of storytelling.  (We love your delivery, Mary.)

Mary's Joke #5

Mary continues to crack us up!

Wyeth Conquers the Stairs

The new Paddle Pup learns that going down, as well as up, the stairs is a good thing!  Wyeth is an 8 week old German Wirehaired Pointer that Mandy recently brought home from Mason Creek Kennel in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.

Thank you to my new friends, Janet Nahorn & Barbara Grygiel, of Mason Creek Kennel.  -MH

Mary's Joke

Mary sauntered into my office this afternoon, clean, ready for service.   Announced that she had a joke I'd like - she knows I like silly jokes - and proceeded to wing it.    - Mandy

40 Years of Wedding Bliss

     Daughters Kate & Carrie sing the

     Graduation Song for their parents,

     Chuck & Anne Besterman, at the Blue

     Paddle Bistro.   The Besterman's began

     their 40th anniversary celebration with

     an early morning treasure hunt.   The

     Paddle was the first clue.    Anne &

     Chuck, along with the family - and

     friends from Lancaster, PA - have truly

     become specials friends of ours.

     We wish Anne & Chuck many more

     years of bliss!  (Saturday, 8/15/09)
