Gap Farm December
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…

Hare'n'Hounds Xmas Show
Ok, remind me never ever to try and run 3 dogs at one competition again! I have no idea how people do this on a regular basis, they must be completely bonkers. I don’t suppose it would be too bad if they were all in the same classes, but I had one G6 Medium, one…

Search
[singlepic id=329 w=320 h=240 float=none] It’s pretty cold and miserable outside, and I get as bored as the dogs do indoors. So we play games! Search is the absolute favourite game, where I hide treats in the other room. I hold my hand cupped around the dogs’ noses, and they take a deep breath, and…

Gap Farm November
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…

Mud
[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…

Start Lines
[singlepic id=326 w=320 h=240 float=right]Inspired by HippieDogs, of course, and somewhat by my previous musings on whether to get a collar for Kim’s starts. I haven’t talked about my start lines in a long while. Kim has a running start, because she loves to race and run and waiting is boring and stressful for her.…

Happy Training
Kim was rocking training this week, she was so happy to be back! She’s skipped a few weeks as I’ve had both Jet and Dylan to run, and there just isn’t enough time to let Kim play. But it’s not like Kim is learning anything new at this stage of her agility career, it’s just…

Misdiagnosis?
After arming the household with honey, contacting all relevant parties to warn them of our quarantine and then resigning myself to a boring month ahead, all my dogs have resolutely NOT coughed, hacked, spluttered, snorted or sneezed for two days straight. Dylan was hacking up spit on Tuesday morning, I checked his throat and tried…

Where we are now
I should have known that trying to lay any kind of plans for the next 6 months would end in disaster! It appears that Dylan has come down with Kennel Cough** which means we won’t be competing again until after Christmas. The girls are both currently fine — in fact, Mollie is high as a…
