    Doncaster is always such a good comp, lovely venue and it always runs to time. Dylan was running in Marsh Owlers in Div 2, and it didn’t go exactly to plan. He was running anchor dog but he was just cruising along without putting any effort in. He clocked 5.2-5.3 singles times all morning which…

    Total case of great dog, shame about the handler. We made a bit of a hash of the KC Olympia Qualifier, which was a really fantastic course. It looked so deceptively simple but it was filled with little traps and angles that meant only the really good dogs got around. We watched Dizzy (Raeanne’s Flippin…

  • Postal Vote Results, etc.

    Flyball Postal Vote results came back, 92% in favour. Fantastic news, Kim will be thrilled to be over 12″ and Mollie will be exceptionally thrilled to be doing 13″. I said on Monday that I thought there would be a small voting turnout, and I was right: just 31% responded, and 6% of which were…

  • EMDAC (Official Results)

    The official EMDAC results have gone up, along with the League Table updates. Kim has a lovely big fat E next her name in everything, and so unsurprisingly has dropped in her League Table placings. More surprising is that she’s hasn’t dropped very far; to 3rd rather than 2nd in the DOTY, and from 8th…

    Remind me next time to wear at least 600 layers of clothing. It was -2 all day, and the fog never lifted. Kim Kim’s first Novice Plus classes! I knew we weren’t going to get anything as N+ is combined Novice, Graduate & Masters (like Combined 4-7 classes, basically) and there were some really good…

  • Snarly Face Kim

    —

    in

    Just because some people have the mistaken impression that Kim is an angel. This is a minor angry face, not the full blown I’m-going-to-kill-you angry-face. She’s not being all snarly at me, by the way. This was because Mollie tried to join in the Kim-Dylan bitey-face games, but Mollie really doesn’t know how to play…

    Whilst I was at agility training yesterday Kim and Mollie had another fight. Not as serious as the last one, thankfully. Kim has a very small bite mark on her ear and is behaving as though her ears has been ripped off and shredded by that evil, evil, black dog who just attacked her for…

  • Trick Training: Fetch My Hat

    —

    in , , ,

    Well, we learnt a fun new trick today! It’s called “Fetch My Hat”, and means Kim (or Dylan, whoever is there first) takes off my woolley hat, either off my head or off someone else’s head, and gives it to me. Dylan picked it up in about 10 minutes, but he’s quicker to offer new…

  • Controversy, Blogs, Tricks?

    in , , ,

    I’ve been trawling about trying to find something to blog about — everywhere is quiet at the moment! No major controversies about (that I can find!) so I did think about starting one, but that seemed like an awful lot of work. I was going to blog about “Barbie Collies” following Inca’s Reserve Best of…

    Kim was flying last night, we had a lot of fun and some very nice runs. She always works better if she’s wound up by watching other dogs work, and hopefully now she’s moving up the levels there will be more exciting dogs for her to watch before she runs. That’s probably a very un-PC…
