EMDAC
Remind me next time to wear at least 600 layers of clothing. It was -2 all day, and the fog never lifted. Kim Kim’s first Novice Plus classes! I knew we weren’t going to get anything as N+ is combined Novice, Graduate & Masters (like Combined 4-7 classes, basically) and there were some really good…

Naughty Girls
Whilst I was at agility training yesterday Kim and Mollie had another fight. Not as serious as the last one, thankfully. Kim has a very small bite mark on her ear and is behaving as though her ears has been ripped off and shredded by that evil, evil, black dog who just attacked her for…

Trick Training: Fetch My Hat
Well, we learnt a fun new trick today! It’s called “Fetch My Hat”, and means Kim (or Dylan, whoever is there first) takes off my woolley hat, either off my head or off someone else’s head, and gives it to me. Dylan picked it up in about 10 minutes, but he’s quicker to offer new…

Controversy, Blogs, Tricks?
I’ve been trawling about trying to find something to blog about — everywhere is quiet at the moment! No major controversies about (that I can find!) so I did think about starting one, but that seemed like an awful lot of work. I was going to blog about “Barbie Collies” following Inca’s Reserve Best of…

Autumn Walk
Lovely day for a walk. Dylan thought so too! The girls kind of always wander off for a while when we start on a walk. Or at least, they do until I produce their most favourite toy ever, Snake! I gave it Dylan originally, but when you get a Mollie running towards you, the self-preservation…

Things I Learnt Today at Flyball
Dylan simply cannot flyball in ankle deep mud. He doesn’t go anywhere and falls over a lot. Mollie firmly believes that Jet drops her ball, even though Jet doesn’t. Jet cannot understand why Mollie is following her. You can’t throw balls past Dylan’s head on the runback and expect him to keep facing forwards. Kim…

Mollie's Ears
MollieBaldEars is back amongst us! She had a lovely time at the vets, she get’s spoilt rotten with cuddles whilst she’s there. Her ears are now all clean and shiny and sadly hairless, so she looks hilariously bad. Possibly as a result of being laughed at so much, she went missing (presumably escaped and roamed…

Frustrated
Training was … “interesting” this week. Dylan was totally over the top, completely overexcited and silly. Broke all his waits, pushing all his contacts, just pushing in general on everything that was asked. It sounds really odd when I try and describe it to people as really, he doesn’t sound like he was doing anything…

Aframe/Team Trios (2009)
After all the long discussions with various people on how to improve Dylan’s creepy Aframe contact, it seems that we’ve finally made some progress. As I said before, he’s had a break from working on the Aframe and so we came back this week and really attacked it. There was a big improvement! No creeping…

Rotherham Flyball: A Photo Diary
VIDEO: A Noise Sample from a Quiet Moment. Dylan’s team, Marsh Owlers, race. There are no spare hands to take photos! It’s a shambles anyway, we lose all three races. VIDEO: A Series of False Starts. Oops! VIDEO: The Eagle Owlers. VIDEO: The Marsh Owlers, on a slight return to form. But not really. VIDEO:…
