Down the road is a great facility, Performance Dogs in Action, check out the website www.performancedogsinaction.com. The owner, Nola Jones and associated trainers, train agility, herding, dock dogs, earth dogs and I am sure much more. She is a very talented trainer, provides a family environment, support and has a beautiful dog park where she holds some wonderful events.

But, what I find unique and uplifting is how she partners with different charitable organizations at each event. A New Leash On Life, lifting spirits of dog lovers who are coping with cancer, is always represented along with various other local cancer related non-profits.

Before the start of the 3rd Annual Pentathlon they held a special survior walk and presentation of colors. It was very moving and filled with many emotional moments. A lot of people worked hard to put on this event. They donated time, effort, money and it showed. It had the feel of a good old fashioned picnic.

Great fun was had by all. It was really hard to tell who had more fun the dogs or their owners.

She has a rare and unique talent of capturing the essence of pets in the moment. After seeing her pictures, I am sure you will want to attend the next event.

As it happens, Judy and I have a mutal love for photography, pets in action and people with their pets. She was very gracious answering all my questions. When she had time!

What I see is alot of wonderful people coming together for some simple fun, while leaving a legacy of care and love...
