    This was such a heartbreaking competition for us last year, and this year was looking increasingly disasterous on the dog front, with 6 dogs coming down injured in the preceeding week. We can’t seem to shake the bad luck at Cantley, and being a suspicious bunch we might make the longer trek over to the…

    This will be a familiar venue for some readers, I think, as it’s where the Delinquent Dogz agility series is held. I’ve never been before and it’s the first time there has been a flyball tournament there. It’s a nice venue; the ground held up incredibly well, and a lot of teams ran some quick…

    Some interesting sessions this week; two, in fact! Kim = Must. Support. Obstacles. Kim has changed her running style slightly during her injury and recovery time, and I need to be right there with her and supporting the obstacles before asking her to turn, otherwise she will turn too soon. Kim also ran with Katie,…

    The dogs and I have spent the weekend lounging about in the garden and having a lovely sunbathing time. This is our only free weekend until mid-September, as we’ve had a bit of a mix about with some flyball dates that have cancelled my free weekend in July. Providing nothing is cancelled, we’ve got a…

    Look what a beautiful morning it was when we set off at 6am … Should have known that wouldn’t last! Middlesbrough is now our first outdoor flyball competition of the season. This tournament is really well organised, has good racing, a nice venue, and yet every year I fail to find any enthusiasm for racing…

    We had even more snow overnight. The opportunites for good snow photos come along so rarely, we had to take the opportunity. Dylan looks brooding and gorgeous. This look was spoiled when he fell off the wall 2 seconds later. We have about a foot of snow on the golf course fairway, and about 6″…

    Dylan hasn’t really seen snow before. The above pretty much sums up his reaction. Kim has seen snow before and knows it’s awesome. Mollie likes the snow and all, but she still has to look for balls. Golf balls, tennis balls, footballs, you never know where they might be hiding, right? Oh well, no balls…

    Jane and Andrea have been telling us to visit this beach for months, and we finally got around to it last week. It was really cold, but the dogs loved it. Kim loved chasing the birds, Mollie lovedchasing Kim, and Dylan loved herding all of us into the sea. Beaches are a rare trip in…

    I never set any goals with Mollie. Mainly because she’s not my dog; unlike Kim and Dylan, I don’t get final say over her training and competing, or over her diet and her exercise, or anything else related to her career as a sporting dog. But the other reason is that Mollie isn’t the kind…
