Ranger, Isabel, and I went to the Dallas Dog n Disc Club fun match at Walnut Hill Park in Dallas on Saturday. This was the first Toss and Catch event Ranger and I competed in so we entered in the novice division. There were 14 other teams in there with us. This is video of our first round. Ranger only missed the first toss, but caught the rest of them that round. I think he was thrown off because the disc was different than what we normally use.

I think Ranger got hurt during the event too. When we got had a slight limp and he was licking his left paw the rest of the night.
Anyway, out of the 14 teams, we came in second place. The scoring was different than the normal way you score this event because it was just a bunch of novices. (I assume they mean the dog was novice, because most of the tossers were also entered in the intermediate and advanced divisions with different dogs.)
These were the final scores for the top three teams.
1st Place: Walt Swaggerman and Ruby round 1- 3.5,3.5,4. 5,3.5 (15) round 2-3.5,3.5,4. 5,4.5 (16) Total (31)
2nd Place:David Lester and Ranger round 1 – 2.5,3.5,4.5 (10.5) round 2- 4.5,4.5,4.5 (13.5) Total (24)
3rd Place:Debbie Swaggerman and Rascal round 1- 3.5,3.5 (7) round 2-3.5,3.5,3. 5,2.5,3.5 (16.5) Total (23.5)
We had a great time out there and hope to do it again soon!
