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 12″. Perfect conditions! Anyway, the last race against Marnicks was down to the wire stuff,…

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 pipping the lovely Monsters gang, and most of the racing went to 5 legs so…

Sad Sick Dogs … and Happy Flyball
The collies have both been ill this week, which has meant I haven’t had much time to post on the blog, however much I intended to! Dylan picked something up last week and we thought it was his unfortunate eating habits (a towel, this time!) but since Mollie came down with it too, it seems…

Some odds and ends photos from the BFA Flyball Championships 2009. You might also spot a few pics cropping up on my Twitter feed. You can view them as a whole on Twitpic (or just type “a #champs snapshot” into search on Twitter).

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 half of the seedings for all our divisions. Friday The girls were up. We knew…

Catch Up
A weekend at home! I’ve never been so happy not to be doing anything at all. Kim’s had a bath after rolling in something really unpleasant this morning which meant I had a tan, white and green dog, and Mollie is baking outside. She seems to be enjoying herself though, so I’ll leave her to…

Scarborough
Nice venue, shame they put the rings on the hill! Kim was bumped up to Hawk as one of the other dogs went lame. She loved it, she looked great and kept going all day, I was very proud of her! She brought the jumps down to 12″ too which meant Skye clocked a few…

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 for 2 days before giving us all false hope with 12 hours of sunshine. And…

Rotherham
So crazy; 4 teams on Saturday and 1 team on Sunday. Naturally, due to the laws of nature demanding that I never sleep, Dylan was on Saturday and the girls were both on Sunday. Dylan’s team ran really well, we just had four dogs (Lucy, Dylan, Skye, and Brooke) and we thought we were going…

Dogs Unleashed
A much quieter show than I had anticipated, although there did seem to be more people there on Sunday. My sources tell me that it is planned to become an annual event, and so perhaps next year there will be more people around (word of mouth?) and it might feel like the big show I…
