July Night Trial!

July 24th and 25th brought Pawzazz’s 43rd NADAC trial – the annual July night trial. Things went off fairly smoothly despite humidity, a bit of thunder and lightning, and some plumbing woes! As always, PZers came out in force to work, run, play and laugh hard – not to mention finding a little time for the Electric Slide (which seems to be a little tricky in the dirt) and the YMCA dance!


Suze Sullivan once again did a wonderful job organizing The Road Kill CafĂ©. Big thanks to her as well as grill masters Mike Barracco and Josh Bailey. Everyone brought delicious salads, side dishes and desserts …. Charlotte Idleman’s potato salad is a fan favorite!

A warm welcome to Angela and Brian Cooley and their can’t-wait-to-be-trialing Border Collie, Princess. They came out to watch their first trial and worked hard both nights.

It was wonderful to see some of the dogs who’d been out due to illness or injury recently:
