I feel like we are at the Kentucky Derby and we are watching the race in the final turn. There are a handful of dogs locked up leading into the home stretch. The excitement is intense. Instead of taking 2 minutes it spans 8 days.
The rumor is that we are going to see a water quad. I am familiar with the pond. It is a large natural piece of water. It has a lot of cover in it. I am hearing they will have one of the marks thrown out of a boat. You gotta love going "Old School". A boat bird can be one of the most challenging retrieves. When placed well, the dogs will have to display lots of perseverance. I am like a kid on Christmas Morning.
This has been one of the best run nationals I have ever witnessed. The time has been managed magnificently. By being so efficient, they will be able to test these remaining dogs thoroughly on the water. A 20 minute water quad will separate the men from the boys. I can't wait!
