    Friday is my day off from university, so I was able to fit some training in with Kim and Dylan. Actually, there are two things wrong with that sentence! I am supposed to use Fridays for catching up with reading and prep-work, so it’s not really a day off, and when I say “training” ……

  • Doncaster Flyball Tournament

    in , ,

    Our first time at the famous indoor-turf Doncaster tournaments, and we had a fantastic day. Mollie’s team, Night Owlers, ran their socks off and finished a very respectable 3rd in Division 5, setting a new seed time in the process. I was supposed to be boxloading for this team but in the end I boxloaded…

    I haven’t had many flyball updates on the blog yet, we had a bit of a break through September. Kim and Mollie were both running in the ‘Owlers second team, drawn as bottom seed in Division 2. I generally don’t mind being bottom seed, especially if the Divisions are well seeded, because I think racing…

    The poor hounds are feeling very underworked this week, as we missed flyball training on Wednesday and can’t make it on Saturday either. We’re currently doing a lot of stamina work and plan to do it all through the winter, since it’s something a lot of the dogs have been lacking over the summer. Most…

  • BAA Finals Weekend

    We got back yesterday from Melton Mowbray and our first visit to the BAA Finals. It was a very up-and-down weekend but we had a great time. Kim is officially the BAA Introductory Medium Dog of the Year 2006/07 — she has been leading since last October and her only real challenger this summer was…

  • BFA Flyball Summer Championships

    Kim and Mollie were competing in the BFA Summer Championships this weekend, and their team, Barking Owlers, won Division 8 with a time of 19.82! Due to the seeding we ended up racing against the teams we usually see at tournaments rather than those from further afield, but we had some great racing anyway against…

    I have finally got around to upgrading my account at streamline, and therefore have also started up a blog on the main website. I will still have my account at LiveJournal (http://moderately-lea.livejournal.com) but it makes as much sense to have a blog here. I’m going to try and keep this blog related to the site…

  • June Update

    I just wanted to mention what an absolute star Kim was last weekend at the Yorkshire Bouncers show. We had four classes and I was hoping for a couple of top-10 placings to bump us up the League Tables, but Kim just really enjoyed the courses and ended up with a 7th, 2×3rd and a…

  • Clever Dogs

    Kim is top of the CleverDogs 2007 Championship Multimix Seedings list! She ran a cracking time at Selby of 22.50 and is currently ahead of her nearest competitor, Poppy, by 4 seconds. We’ll have a couple more chances to improve that time this summer, and hopefully qualify for the Finals in August. Mollie ran a…

    It’s been a hot couple of days! I got the shell out for the dogs to chill in, because both the girls love to lounge in it when they’ve been out for a long hot walk. This is the first year that Dylan has really been old enough to play in it, and didn’t he…
