    It’s really hard to write about how the dogs did this weekend and focus on their positive points and make a record for myself of how they did. Julie was helping/captaining one of our teams (I can’t remember which team it was) and within minutes of leaving the ring was rushed to Doncaster A&E. Although…

    Kim and Mollie were in a scratch team due to some dog complications, so it was mostly the normal Night Owlers with Kim thrown in to bring a bit of speed to the proceedings! Kim ran well all day, but she just wasn’t quick enough to bring down the times under 22secs, as certain dogs…

    I hate flyballing in the rain. Remind me not to do it again! Our dogs worked hard all day, and the ground conditions weren’t perfect by any means. The grass was a couple of inches high, the ground was rough and the dogs were racing uphill. The ring was situated right next to the clay…

  • Training in the Rain

    The dogs and I had a fun session yesterday evening training in the rain! “Proper” training was cancelled so we lugged two jumps and the flyball box (and hurdle) to the park for a bit of an inpromptu training session with all three dogs. I think it’s good for the dogs to train in wet…

  • Empty Weekend

    We had a nice flyball session this morning! Kim has grazed both her hocks, so I’ll have to start wrapping them up when she’s working on hard ground. I’ve used pad protectors on her front legs for ages but she’s always had a habit of skidding on her hocks and coming home with huge grass-stains.…

    The Crazy Cannons always put on a good tournament but we’re not usually very successful! Kim has a 2nd rosette from about 2 years ago and that’s it, which is a shame because the pink and black rosettes look very swish! We got our act together this year and the Owlers had a fantastic day.…

    Well, after all my frustration with Dylan earlier this week, the bloody dog turns out to be a genius! Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration. But it’s amazing how a good training session can turn everything around again. We finally got around to doing a bit more boxwork this week, and I…

  • Flyball Training, a blog post too late!

    The blog post isn’t really too late, but I just forgot to post it yesterday! The girls ran well at flyball, although they were both very tired girlies when we got home. Mollie must have a secret drug store somewhere, she’s been off her head with loopyness this week and it showed at training. She…

    I was going to try and write something about the dogs and what I’m hoping for over the weekend, but I realise I’ve already kind of covered that. So, photo post! As usual, click on the thumbnails to see a larger version.

    I haven’t had much to blog about this week! So here’s a Mollie post. Whenever I mention Mollie it always seems to be in relation to injuries or illness, but she’s just that kind of dog that is completely fearless, reckless and apparently with a very high pain threshold. She’s also not the kind of…
