About a week old, but still good. 
The Alamo City Weight Pull Club hosting. GREAT, old-school event. No fancy facilities or drama queens. Just a lot of fun with friends at the park, ducking bird poop and chasing off kids and dogs. IMO, this is what weight pull should be. (And I don't say that just because my dogs whooped butt this weekend. Ahem...)

Tell me this doesn't look like a hardcore pull team?

Casa de Matrix. Our new canopy promptly flew away in the wind because we forgot to stake it down. But I got my cardio running after it.

They make the coolest stuff for little dogs. I love the pink.

Tinkerbelle. She wasn't pulling, but I'd love to see her do it someday.

New title holder. UKC CH UWP Matrix's Buddhist Monk. Earned his UWP in style, pulling upward of 2000 lbs on a difficult track. (New berber carpet was a bit slippery, and lots of distractions from the park for a green dog.)

New title holder. ADBA GRCH UWP Reloaded's Animatrix of Matrix. Earned her UWP also in style, pulling up to 1700 lbs or 33x her body weight. This dog has come a long way in 3 months with her pulling. Chris has done a good job with her.
There are more pictures that my friend Kodi took here: Flickr: kodisattlerphotography's Photostream She got shots of my dogs, which I obviously couldn't do since I was pulling them.

Here is a video of me pulling Christian:
And one of Chris pulling Ani:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gotta brag on our kiddos. Chris and I have been working together to train these dogs up since January. Terra was supposed to go, but decided she'd rather come into heat a month early. Bummer for a dog 5 pts from her UWPCH title, but we'll get it. Anyway, we took Monk, Ani, Buddha and Christian. Osiris came down from Austin for Sunday's pull.
Buddha took MWP and MWPP for Division 2 on Friday night, pulling 2120 or maybe more. (I don't know for sure.) But the old boy did good. He turned 9 years old in February. Christian took MWP and MWPP on both Saturday and Sunday! I guess the hard work has really paid off. The dogs made us all proud, and a few times I had to fight back tears. I think I said something like "no sh**?!" when the judge handed me those silver buckets Friday night. Monk and Ani both took some 1st place wins and would have been contenders for those top honors as well, except for the fact that they didn't have their UWP titles yet. (You have to get those first before you can earn the big prizes.)
I *think* we took 5 new titles this weekend. I know that Monk, Ani and Osiris finished their UWP titles. Christian got 60 bonus points for his MWP/MWPP wins, which in addition to his regular points should have given him his UWPCH title. Not too bad for a novice dog at his 2nd weight pull event to finish a 100-point title in a weekend. Very proud of the little prancer. Buddha got 30 bonus points for his wins and I think 50 regular points, which should give him enough for his UWPV or something. We'll see. Good work, kiddos! :cheers:
