San Diego hosts the 2012 Purina Dog Challenge

I was invited to compete in the Purina Dog Challenge Surfing event at the OB dog beach.  It was really exciting!  There were cameras everywhere and a few of the guys just kept following me with cameras in my face so I tried ignoring them and when that didn’t work–I just let them have it!! I was soooooo excited to surf, that I could not be bothered with those silly cameras!! Mommy got a guy from the Surf Diva’s to help us and he was a HUGE help because mommy really stinks at pushing me into the waves and plus, I know I am a dog, but Chris was pretty darn cute! After my heat, I played with the ball for hours on the beach while mommy watched the other surfers.  Many of our friends from the So Cal Surf Dogs were participating and a couple did really well!!  Professional surfer, Scott Chandler and his daughter and dog competed in the tandem surfing event and came in first for their acrobatic feats! The water was warm, the people were nice, I got lots of treats AND a new cool life jacket and mommy got a whole backpack full of goodies!! All and all, even though I didn’t make it to the podium THIS TIME, we had a great day!!  I love my surfing friends and thanks to Dale Porter from Killer Image, Mike from Pet Hideaway and Casey from San Diego Pets Magazine for taking some cool shots of me in my glory!! We will let you know when it will air on TV, until then, enjoy the photos (click on image to enlarge).
