. September has started with a bang. The three-day Labor Day obedi-

ence trial was a great success I think, nice judges, good courses and

successful competitors. The weather was

cool and even damp… good for the dogs… I want to thank in par-

ticular the co chairs, Penni Adrian and Pam Day, the chief trial

steward, Jane Winkler, and the hospitality team, Maggie Gee and

Mary Roberts, and Lisa Frankland, Trial Secretary who was sure on

top of everything had the books all picked up and entered into the

computer She had things posted and sent out to exhibitors Mon PM

letting us all know what was reported to AKC for the weekend.

They made it all look easy. There seemed to be lots of help and that

is needed at any trial. We are grateful for whatever amount of time

a person can give. It takes a village to get everything done. More

thanks go to those who set up and took down all the equipment and then took it to the club and

put it up. That is a lot of work.

Next weekend is the first Scent work trial in the state of NM and two weeks later the agility trail

at the posse grounds. So, we have a busy month with things going on. In addition to these we are

getting new flooring in the training room, this is scheduled to be put in starting the week after the

scent work trial. The building will be closed to classes, drills and individual use during the time

this is going on and some airing out time afterwards.

There seem to be lots of trials going on that our members are traveling to enter and I wish all of

you safe trips and the best of fortune as you compete.

Something of great importance… we have mice... a lot of them. There will be an exterminator

coming and we will be working on eliminating them and keeping them from returning. This is

something that all members need to participate in. Please be sure that you do not leave food, hu-

man or dog, in the training room. Do not leave treats in zip lock, cardboard or uncovered con-

tainers. Hard containers that seal are okay if they are left sealed. If your dog does well and you

bring a treat to the next class or drill to celebrate that is great but if there is any left take it with

you when you go. It is the responsibility of all the members to be sure this is done. If you drop

treats on the floor, and we all have, please pick it up. Let’s not be leaving anything to invite the

mice to feel at home.

It is everyone’s club and we all need to participate in this.

The next meeting will be 28 September, with the nomination committee’s nomination of candi-

dates for 2019. Hope to see you all there…

New Flooring Update The building will be closed beginning Monday September 10th to prepare for and install the new flooring. Watch the Yahoo group for information on reo-pening the training room sometime the following week, possibly by Wednes-day, September 19th. Thanks, Cathy Dunbar

SDOC Fun Match at the Bernalillo Sheriff’s Posse grounds was

a success. A success because, as has often been the case, those

who can, did. Our talented SDOC members stepped up to fill a

need and help the many better prepare their dogs for the fall

competitions.

A huge shout-out to our judges: Janice Anthes, Marcie Jensen,

Maggie Gee. Thank you Jeff Robb for filling in to allow judges

to run their dogs.

Cannot thank the stewards enough. And, don’t forget all the

folks who chipped in muscle for set-up and tear-down.

The Fun Match was successful only because of your efforts.

Thanks a million to all who contributed.
