Nice!! I have 3 dogs (Choc Lab, Basset hound and a mixed breed) and 4 cats. I finally have a workshop that I can close off from the animals and I still get pet hairs under my monokote [:@] . Good luck with your pattern experience. Pattern fliers are the best pilots and always very helpful. I know I got lots of help when I first started competing (38 years ago) and it was really appreciated!
