    I was boxloading for Mol’s team so didn’t get to see much of their racing or times, but they did look good from where I was stood and lost some of their races by a nose, really unlucky! Mol had a great time anyway since she was running over 9″ with her partner-in-crime Bails. For…

  • Bromley Farm Flyball (with extra snow!)

    It was -7 when we arrived at Bromley Farm on Sunday morning. That’s really very cold. Due to the cold and the snow, several teams pulled out and so Extreme re-organised the divisions from 4 to 3. Worked really well, even if it did mean two of our teams racing against one another. Kim and…

    Mollie was running in the second team. I was boxloading so have no idea what their fastest time was, I think something like 21.35? They all ran well; Mollie always loves running with her mini partner-in-crime Bailey, but the team was something of a last-minute jumble compared to the originally planned line-up. Really good racing…

    [singlepic id=327 w=320 h=240 float=none] Autumn is so pretty from the waist up, with all the golden trees and blue skies. From the waist down, mud. Flyball in the mud is not as difficult as agility in the mud, so we plugged on. Kim thought the whole thing was kind of stupid, but she’s a…

  • October Rotherdrax Flyball

    I am already regretting entering anything over the winter. I always forget about the cold, and the dark, and the cold. Kim was running with the second team, Hawk, and after a small series of minor disasters our lovely 5-dog team was down to an equally-lovely but slightly unpredictable 4 dog team. Kim and Brooke…

    The girls ran well, we broke our seed time again and clocked a 20.15 in the afternoon. Mollie was slightly off her normal form, I think Saturday took her edge away. She gets so excited and then exhausts herself by getting all wound up and silly when she’s not running. She and Kim still ran…

  • Bakewell Flyball

    Back at Bakewell; for a showground I hadn’t visited before this year, I seem to have spent a lot of time there this summer! It was lovely this weekend, masses and masses of empty space for the exercise area. We had a bit of a disaster leading up to the tournament when two dogs came…

  • Rother… Tyne?

    —

    Tournament at the usual Rotherham venue, but run by Tyne Tailwaggers. Out to confuse me from the start. Kim and Mollie’s team was a bit of a mix, and we lost pretty much everything, apart from the one race against our arch-rivals Doghouse (to clarify: we love Doghouse). Mollie was running consistent 5.1s over 12″,…

    Thunderstorms and shooting stars, pouring rain and sunshine … The girls did good. We were in a bit of a weird position, in that we had three dogs who had suddenly gone back to being sub-5s dogs, and then one slower dog who has suddenly gone from clocking 6.5s to 5.5s. However, these are all…

  • Dinnington Flyball

    I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Dinnington as much as I did, but it was a bit of a blast from the past; tiny one day tournament at a nice venue on good ground, just three divisions and a proper set of Starters, and the weather held all day. Done and dusted by 5:30pm. We knew…
