At Riverfest (a local festival in Little Rock) they had the International Retriever Dog Jumping Championships, and Barkley broke the old world record by almost four feet! Twenty nine feet, eight inches, an amazing jump.
The best jump of the day, however, was the third place finisher. You can see it almost upright in the air? It continued to rotate around and landed square on it's back, ass first. Every one laughed, but they measure not where the nose or front paw lands, but where the base of the tale lands, so jumping ass first might be the secret for the future?
It's supposed to be televised nationally this fall on one of the outdoor sports networks, so my wife and I, being right in front, should be famous. And of course, in keeping with our traditional healthy Arkie diet...
Wee ain't called the Hogs for nottin!
