1st on Toss & Catch, & 1st in Freestyle. Overall: Medium Dog Champion...................... Spicy

money.
Sadie was 4th on the Saturday:Toss & catch and 2nd on the Sunday bullzeye. She really improved from
the last disc trial. She would have had a lot more to show for it if Spicy wasn't hogging all the places. She also
has the funny expression on her face when I take a picture of her. Its almost like she is smiling!
