In the Zone - March 19-21

What a wild weekend! The PZ contingent that attended ITZ in Millersville was blessed with beautiful (some would say HOT) weather. A nice change from the blizzards and rain we've been enduring for months.

There were some major accomplishments by PZers and PZ friends:

Kate Hutchinson and her Darling Delta earned their first NATCH with a beautiful Jumpers run!

Darryl Power and Bristol earned their NATCH-3/Versatility NATCH-3!!

Pat Stagg and Sox earned their first NATCH on the same Jumpers as Delta and Kate!

Jean Wilkins and Kopper earned their Elite All-Around! (no photo)

Cathie Cage and Clayton earned their Open Triple Superior, Open Superior Versatility and Open All-Around with a smokin' Jumpers run after waiting 8 months for a leg!!

Christine Chapman and Chelsea earned their Novice Superior Versatility and Novice All-Around

Though we always miss Lisa Bonker at this trial, we had an awful lot of fun while she was running the ITZ trial in Illinois! Smiles wherever you looked and some smoking runs! One of the major themes of the weekend was PZ adoptee Scott Casino's 40th birthday!

Gripping his walker for dear life

Dirt Cakes from Nicole

We tortured him throughout the weekend, but saved the best for Sunday his actual birthday. Gag gifts and a pinata were part of the festivities. Old man Casino is a good sport and endured all the ribbing with a smile all day long. Anne Beach was kind enough to video his pinata bashing for us.

All blindfolded and ready to go!

Reality sets in...


What a fantastic weekend. Visiting retiree NATCH Willow's smile says it all. :)
