Canines Take the Waves in Surf City Surf Dogs Competition
Over the weekend Huntington Beach, California was the host of a unique surfing competition: the Surf City Surf Dog. Featuring 48 canine surFUR competitors in various weight classes, nearly 1,500 surfing and dog enthusiasts gathered on the shores for the three-day competition.
Dogs were awarded points for lying on the board, sitting, or standing; additional points were awarded for any animals who did tricks (180s, 360s, riding backwards) and for riding the longest and biggest waves.
This was the fourth year of the competition and judging by the slew of shore-side fans, it is likely to only keep growing bigger and bigger.
And why not: dogs riding surfboards, what could be cuter?

If you're anything like me (and god willing you aren't, the court system simply can't handle that kind of backlog...) you've been casting about aimlessly for a new high school team to support. Well, look no further! .png)



The Washington Nationals officially clinched a playoff berth on Thursday night, the first for the franchise since relocating and overall, the first time since 1981 for the Expos/Nationals. This wasn't a racuous, champagne-spraying affair like we've come to see in recent years. The Nationals recognize that they still have a long ways to go before they have something big to celebrate.
No young football star dreams of being an NFL backup, a special teams player just barely hanging onto a job, an undrafted free agent desperate to stay on the roster; no it's always dreams of stardom, mega-contracts, fame and glitz. However, playing in the NFL isn't always incredibly glamorous and filled with expensive toys and soaring bank accounts.
