Kim's Ice Blue Moon
The points have gone up from Kim’s last flyball competitions and she officially has her Ice Blue Moon award. I always wanted her to get this, and now she has, I feel comfortable saying Kim is going to be retiring from competitive flyball this winter. She is fit, she is happy, and she still loves…

Sutton Fields
Lovely day at Sutton Fields. I love this venue, I am going to continue my pestering of the team and hope we get to go again next May. Two mix teams as we had several dogs on holiday (how inconvenient!), although Dyl’s team was actually the same as usual but with a fifth dog change.…

British Flyball Championships 2011
Summer days. Love the Champs. I don’t care that they’re not whichever competition you* think is better. I appreciate these Championships for what they are, which is a fun, competitive, and noisy tournament full with teams from every corner of the British Isles. Also, nowhere else would you get 200 people willingly dressing up in…

Dylan and Mollie, Div 26 Winners
Dylan and Mollie, Div 26 Winners Originally uploaded by kayanem Right now I’m too tired to write out a proper post on the British Flyball Championships, so this will have to do. My collies are so cool.

Nantwich/Larden Green
Lovely venue, lovely hosts. Would go again, two thumbs up. Dylan and Mollie both ran in the second team. Dyl has been dropped down to this team for several reasons, mainly because we have several injured or recovering-from-injury dogs who we have had to pull completely, or put into teams where they can be pulled…

Flyball Training
We worked very hard with Dylan at training this week. He is getting more confident changing into Roi, but he’s not foot perfect. Neither am I; it’s very hard to work on perfecting the change when Dylan sometimes “flinches” (throws in an extra short stride just before the line). I’m between 1-3ft off on my…

Hayfield Lakes
Good weekend, close racing and Notts were excellent hosts. Shame the venue wasn’t as wonderful as everyone else seemed to think (we camp in a tent, flat clean ground is important). Dylan’s team broke their seed time and won their division, which was great. We also managed to get splits on the dogs for all…

Training x2
Agility = good! Dyl’s seesaw is looking great after our confidence building sessions. I’ve lost the stop on the end but I don’t really care, Dylan isn’t brave enough to fly it and it’s faster. If we need it back later we can work on it, I’m sure. I also worked on 180 pull-thrus, because…

Osmaston Flyball
I’m not sure how to blog about this tournament – I have lots of fragmented memories and no clear thoughts! I didn’t wear shoes all weekend, it was really hot, my dogs were great. That’s about all I can coherantly put together. Mollie ran well, but we tried to keep her doing as little as…

Long Summer
Excellent flyball training this past weekend, all the dogs worked extremely hard. Dylan still isn’t comfortable running with Norah but she’s not in his team this weekend so I am hopeful that he’ll be relaxed and happy about being in the ring. Our official complaint to the BFA regarding the incident at Swallownest has been…
