ALAMAR
TAKES TO THE ROAD
Once again
the Alamar gang took to the road in June
of 08. Nine people and 24 dogs headed to Estes Park Colorado for
some fun in the mountains, and then on to Ft. Morgan
for 2 AHBA trials and 2 AKC trials.
The fun began when we arrived at our mountain retreat in Estes Park
only to discover they had given our cabin away to some folks without
the required 6 month reservations and 3 night commitment we were
required to have. They did
give us another cabin, but unfortunately there was very little space
to park the dog trailer. So we maneuvered it as best we could with the
van and then the boys moved it the rest of the way by hand. Our neighbors in the next cabin kept us entertained
with their 2 rather noisy dogs (their 2 made more noise than our
24). One day we returned
to find their dog running around loose having gone through the window
of their cabin where they had left him uncrated. Needless
to say, our dogs looked pretty good by comparison.
The first
day of our stay found us on the road to White Water rafting on the
Cache La Puter River. Nobody
got dumped in and nobody got thrown in.
Marie was crowned the Queen and was not letting the rest
of the gang forget it! The
next day the group piled into the Alamar
van for a breathtaking tour of the Rocky
Mountain National
Park.
We literally drove to the top of the world and our official
trip photographer, Alyson, took some really breathtaking photos. It was an amazing journey and something none
of us will ever forget. From
the magnificent Elk to the charming little Marmots, it was a trip
worth taking.

After some rest and much fun, the group headed to Ft. Morgan
where our home base was a charming little hotel with a courtyard
where we managed to squeeze the dog trailer into yet another space
meant for a compact car. Our
host was charming and quite tolerant of our rather boisterous gang.
Most everyone at the hotel was at the trial so we didnt
have to deal with any non-dog folks.
Thursday
we started the day with two AHBA trials at the Cappy
Pruett Stockdog Training facility. Alamar made up most
of the advanced runs both in the field and in the arena. Here are the placements

Friday was a day
of rest for the Alamar Gang. We relaxed at the hotel, made a minor repair
to the electrical system of the dog trailer and then returned to
Cappys for $5 steaks. The
food was wonderful. We had
a bit of a storm, complete with rain and hail.
Fortunately, Ft.
Morgan, CO
is mostly sand so the rain mainly settled the dust.
Saturday
began with the 1st day of the Mile High Rottweiler Club
trial.

Once again the
Alamar Gang made us all proud with not
only their placements, but with their good sportsmanship and support
of each other. We always have our ups and downs, but there
is no replacement for the support and the wonderful friendships
we have. Thanks to everyone who made the trip such a
pleasure!
