Doncaster Flyball
Doncaster hold their winter tournament at the Northern Racing College, and I’ve been to this venue plenty of times, but I’ve never seen any Thoroughbreds until this weekend. They didn’t seem all that bothered with us, to be honest. Bit…
Girls vs. Girls
Dylan has a super cute quirk of resting his head on things. His head is the perfect height for resting on people’s laps, so he does that all the time, and looks up at you with big sad puppy eyes.…
Rotherham Flyball
Days like this remind me why I do flyball. I was pretty excited about Dylan’s team anyway, they’re a fab fast bunch of dogs who were on a very comfortable seed time, and both Dylan and Skye love running over…
South Durham
One of those days that tried to be a bad day, but was secretly a good day. I only took Dylan, but he made up for being 1 dog by doing the work of 2, as he had seven runs…
Redcar
Flyball at one of my favourite ever venues, walks on the beach and beautiful weather. Can’t ask for much more! Dylan and his best redhead girl Skye were up with the Barneys in Div 2, and we came 1st, just…
British Flyball Championships 2009
This was our first time at the “new look” BFA Championships, but we couldn’t have picked a better weekend; gorgeous weather, fantastic racing and maybe just a little bit of luck on our side, as we’d drawn in the top…
EMDAC July
Rain. Next year we must all pray to the agility gods well in advance, and ask that if rain is required, let it be light and drift over the showground quickly. Because this year, it rained relentlessly, heavily, and wetly…
Nottingham
I haven’t been to Nottingham for years; last time we competed there, Kim was a large dog. Way back when! The show is still really well-organised and it’s a lovely atmosphere, but the ground is awful to run on (pitted…
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…
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…
