    This post can pretty much be summed up into “I like this post by EmmaBC“. I think this is going to be my mission for the winter. Dylan’s first G6 classes are at the end of October, and I would like to go and focus on pretending we’re back in G3, where it’s all about…

    The points have gone up from Kim’s last flyball competitions and she officially has her Ice Blue Moon award. I always wanted her to get this, and now she has, I feel comfortable saying Kim is going to be retiring from competitive flyball this winter. She is fit, she is happy, and she still loves…

    Lovely day at Sutton Fields. I love this venue, I am going to continue my pestering of the team and hope we get to go again next May. Two mix teams as we had several dogs on holiday (how inconvenient!), although Dyl’s team was actually the same as usual but with a fifth dog change.…

    Trip to Cannon Hall was in order. I wanted to go in the Maize Maze, because I’m actually 8, but we didn’t have time. Also, my dogs hate me. Well, maybe not. But looking at their group portrait shots, you would think so. Kim is thinking how she can maybe kill me in my sleep,…

  • British Flyball Championships 2011

    Summer days. Love the Champs. I don’t care that they’re not whichever competition you* think is better. I appreciate these Championships for what they are, which is a fun, competitive, and noisy tournament full with teams from every corner of the British Isles. Also, nowhere else would you get 200 people willingly dressing up in…

    Lovely venue, lovely hosts. Would go again, two thumbs up. Dylan and Mollie both ran in the second team. Dyl has been dropped down to this team for several reasons, mainly because we have several injured or recovering-from-injury dogs who we have had to pull completely, or put into teams where they can be pulled…

    Dylan Originally uploaded by kayanem Kim first, because she’s special. She was awesome this weekend, she enjoyed every run, even if what she was enjoying was arguing with me. She was silly and noisy and flirted with all the boy dogs, especially Gilbert. Unfortunately we were just outclassed. We ran some great clears but there…

  • Flyball Training

    We worked very hard with Dylan at training this week. He is getting more confident changing into Roi, but he’s not foot perfect. Neither am I; it’s very hard to work on perfecting the change when Dylan sometimes “flinches” (throws in an extra short stride just before the line). I’m between 1-3ft off on my…

    frisbee7 Originally uploaded by kayanem Lots of frisbee recently, it’s taken over as the exercise toy. None of my dogs can actually catch it though. I can’t really throw it though either, so it all works out. Two walks today, once to play frisbee on the playing fields, the second to just walk around Blackmoorfoot.…

    Good weekend, close racing and Notts were excellent hosts. Shame the venue wasn’t as wonderful as everyone else seemed to think (we camp in a tent, flat clean ground is important). Dylan’s team broke their seed time and won their division, which was great. We also managed to get splits on the dogs for all…
