Julie passed the exam!!

YEAH!!! She's officially a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner. It took about a year to complete the courses, internship, case studies, and sit for the exam. And the great news is she passed! We knew she would do it!
Tai (from NYC), Brandy (from Washington State), and Julie - they ALL PASSED! Julie with one of her case study animals - Thunder.

KJ and MB make it to CLT!!!

The globe trotting Kyle & MaryBeth made a stop in - of all places - Charlotte! They brought the two Wonder Dogs - Syd & Maxine - who got to sit in our kitchen for the evening. It has been quite a while since we were able to spend some time with them, so it was great to catch up over a meal at one of our favorite restaurants. Y'all are welcome back anytime... And here's a plug for The Viewfinder Project - a great way to foster creativity in children that will aid them through their entire lives!

A Fun Day at App Ski Mtn

This was a nice day to go with hardly any crowds at Appalachian Ski Mtn in Blowing Rock, NC. This year I (Tim) have officially been riding 12 years (Julie's been riding 7), but this is the first year I've really gotten into the Terrain Park. This was my second perfect ride on the flat rail of the day. The picture is a little misleading, because there's a snowbank between the camera and the rail. So what you don't see is that at the end of the rail is actually a drop of about 4 feet to a 45° down landing.
This was a crazy fall. I started out straight, then my board decides to turn backside (which means clockwise), and then *bam!* the edge caught and flipped me over backwards. I got up laughing though... thankful my head didn't hit anything!
Gack! When shin meets metal flat rail... This must have happened on an earlier run that we didn't get on camera. Funny thing is I didn't know it happened until much later.
