    I really love this show, it’s a great venue and a very relaxed atmosphere. I blame our lack of success on a number of things: 1) we had no Wine Gums on the journey down, and as everyone knows we have to have Wine Gums otherwise everything goes pear-shaped. 2) we saw no Eddie Stobart…

  • Hydrotherapy

    It’s been nearly 2 years since Mollie and Dylan last went to hydrotherapy. Mollie loves swimming more than she loves tennis balls, which is saying a lot! But Dylan hasn’t been since he was 8 months old and although he loved it then I wasn’t sure what he’d be like this time … well, no…

    Mollie and Dylan ran on Saturday with the Night Owlers in Division 8. We’ve got quite a nice little Nights team shaping up there! We ran 20.98, won our division and Dylan got his 200 points, I’m so pleased! He ran in nearly every leg and was a little pro. Some of his turns in…

    So I wasted an hour today doing this. It might be productive, who knows?! My handy reference guide says as a rule, to be competitive at Grade 6/7 you need these kind of times for the obstacles: Aframe: 1.3s Dogwalk: 2.5 Seesaw: 1.2s Weaves: 2.7s Although I’m not entirely sure how that has been worked…

    Home Farm was the flyball that never was. We got a call about 5 minutes before we loaded the dogs up to set off, saying it had been cancelled due to unexpected heavy rain overnight. We weren’t the only people in the same situation; I know a lot of other agility shows and flyball comps…

    “Puppy arrives tomorrow, and he still doesn’t have a name. ‘Flynn’ sounds too much like Kim, and ‘Olli’ sounds too much like Mollie. My sister has a very loud and active campaign for ‘Theo’ going, and my mum says ‘Indi’ is too girly.” June 2006 As you can see, Dylan was 5th on the name…

    Bit of a photo post today, since I haven’t really got much to say. A few shots from over the summer that I never got around to posting, and a few more recent ones. Dylan doesn’t normally have bad training sessions, so Tuesday was quite unusual for him. He was working in a group with…

  • Agility Training/BAA Promotion

    in , ,

    The BAA Promotion requirements have changed slightly and Dylan is no longer up for automatic promotion, so he can stay in Introductory for another year! This is very good news, especially considering how naughty he was at training yesterday. We have a lot of work to do before he’s going to be ready for Primary…

    YB is always a small, friendly and local show; lots of flyballers present, which helps! Kim Kim had her last set of Primary classes today. We had a really good day, she was a lot more motivated and enthused than she had been for the rest of the summer season, noisy and tugging and listening.…

  • Camera Issues, Training Dylan

    —

    in ,

    I really wanted to put some photos on the blog this week, but my camera has decided to stop working. For whatever reason it won’t charge or connect to the computer (which I suppose means it could be an issue with the cable?), and as it won’t charge it also won’t switch on. It’s only…
