The great Vetrap hunt
Kim wears wraps on her hind legs for flyball. This is illustrated by the the photo on the right, although she was wearing borrowed wraps at Sutton Fields (cheers Katie!). The photo is also an awesome example of Kim’s box turn, which is irrelevant but cool. She wears wraps because she has a tendency to…

Flyball Training & the Camera Saga continues
The camera thing is getting ridiculous. My mum has been the one interacting with Curry’s because she bought the camera originally (it was a gift). When she took the camera in, I gave her the camera in the original box with all the components — USB cable, charger, instruction booklet, warrenty, etc etc — because…

New-old camera, Dylan training
My camera has been replaced with a shiny new one! After a long argument involving various managers they finally admitted they were wrong. I should get it this evening so I’ll try to get some videos from flyball training tomorrow. Dylan’s weave entry issues seem to be getting resolved, he missed twice at training but…

Doncaster Flyball (Indoor)
Well, talk about a busy day … we had 4 teams in at Doncaster. I was scribing for our first team in Div 1, Kim was running in the second team in Div 2 and Dylan and Mollie were in the third team in Div 3, and we were ring party in Div 4. Kim…

South Durham DAC
Saturday was very hectic. Much like last year I knew we were going to have to leave early and I really didn’t want to miss Kim’s agility classes again. To be honest, it would have probably been a faster journey to Lune Valley at Myerscough and therefore I could have stayed later, but I really…

Lincoln
I really love this show, it’s a great venue and a very relaxed atmosphere. I blame our lack of success on a number of things: 1) we had no Wine Gums on the journey down, and as everyone knows we have to have Wine Gums otherwise everything goes pear-shaped. 2) we saw no Eddie Stobart…

Sutton Fields Flyball
Mollie and Dylan ran on Saturday with the Night Owlers in Division 8. We’ve got quite a nice little Nights team shaping up there! We ran 20.98, won our division and Dylan got his 200 points, I’m so pleased! He ran in nearly every leg and was a little pro. Some of his turns in…

Timing Notes
So I wasted an hour today doing this. It might be productive, who knows?! My handy reference guide says as a rule, to be competitive at Grade 6/7 you need these kind of times for the obstacles: Aframe: 1.3s Dogwalk: 2.5 Seesaw: 1.2s Weaves: 2.7s Although I’m not entirely sure how that has been worked…

Washout
Home Farm was the flyball that never was. We got a call about 5 minutes before we loaded the dogs up to set off, saying it had been cancelled due to unexpected heavy rain overnight. We weren’t the only people in the same situation; I know a lot of other agility shows and flyball comps…

Lazy Days
Bit of a photo post today, since I haven’t really got much to say. A few shots from over the summer that I never got around to posting, and a few more recent ones. Dylan doesn’t normally have bad training sessions, so Tuesday was quite unusual for him. He was working in a group with…
