I just had to share this wonderful poem by Catherine Kist. She and Lizzie, her 13 year old partner, recently ran in our Can/Am trial here at BARK, and earned their Speedway Legendary Bronze title, along with the FullHouse Challenge. Congratulations Catherine and Lizzie! It warms my heart to know that these rosettes hold such special memories for such an incredible team. I can't wait to see you both again. 🐾🩷

Many of you know Laurie Keith and her fabulous Saint Bernard, Nickel. What you may not know is that they work for Access Credit Union, where Nickel is the D.O.G. (Director of Greetings). They do incredibly fun things together; last night Access hosted a screening of Beauty and the Beast. Nickel was the most HANDSOME Beast! And Laurie makes a pretty cute Belle, too! 💙💛🌹

Can/Am 2026 is in the books! What a great time we had in Escanaba and also this past weekend in Sault Ste. Marie! So many thank yous to be offered up. First, a huge thank you to our judge Dave Rhodes for his fun courses. Loved spelling "EH!" in the Jackpot round! 🇨🇦 Thank you to our course builders (who are second to none), our volunteers who kept things moving, (and a special shoutout to volunteers Stephanie Parniak and Jennifer Ramsay who camped here this weekend so they could volunteer, despite not running dogs themselves, just because they love the CPE family; and we love them for THAT), to Sherri Gourlie and Amanda MacLeod for helping me with the trial secretary duties, Kim Thompson for creating the spreadsheets for the workers, potluck and music, Art Malott for being our DJ-extraordinaire so we could run to some awesome tunes during Jumpers, to everyone who donated items for our silent auction to raise money for canine cancer research, all who participated in our potluck and awards night, and to every one who came out to play with their dogs......THANK YOU!!! What a truly fun filled weekend it was. Great weather until Sunday morning, but a little rain couldn't dampen our spirits!

My heart is full....there is nothing so special as hugging a friend whom you haven't seen in awhile, and then sharing a weekend of laughter and dogs, and making new friends who you can't wait to see again. Thank you CPE for providing such opportunities for us to gather our community together and share our love of the sport.
