The Retriever News Team has been having a very difficult time keeping the blog going, and we have overcome extenuating circumstances to report the news to everyone! Just so that everyone out there has an idea of how much hard work goes in to making this blog available each day for our followers. It has been a grueling day. We have been having to hand off notebooks Pony Expressing the information over long distances with the all of the test descriptions...... having a single person sitting out stationary the ENTIRE day (and into the night) watching every dog run and recording those results....and then another single person taking photos to share from the line and more......and only two people to fill in the gaps, dictate the reports and typing it all up. From 5 am until 7 pm (and sometimes past midnight) our team has been going strong! There is a lot of exhaustion, as I'm sure many of the volunteer workers here at the NARC event are feeling right along with us!! Our internet connection has been very spotty out in the field, however all of the landowners have graciously made their homes and their wi-fi available for us to use, which has been a life saver! All in an effort to share this historical event for those whom cannot attend, and also for everyone who IS in attendance each day and reviewing their dogs performance!
We are working hard to stay up to date! Thanks for all the support everyone! And PLEASE, PLEASE post comments & questions to the BLOG. We are enjoying all of the interaction with our cyber-gallery.
