  • Digley May 2012

    in , , , , ,

    Emma and I took Bailey, Dylan, Diva and Rio around Digley this afternoon, since the nice weather is continuing and the dogs could do with the swim! So much of the path is in dappled shade that we didn’t have to worry about them getting too hot, and it’s such an easy walk that even…

  • Tired Bean

    Very productive flyball training session today. Although we were working the dogs in each team together, we mainly worked on individual stuff. Dylan did some jump-box-6 jumps back. Which is exhausting for me but really gives him a workout! It also encourages him to chase me back; he has always come back off the box…

  • Drax & a Mollie Update

    Mollie is much better. We still aren’t sure what is wrong but she’s has been to the vet, got herself some shots and some medication, and she’s improving dramatically. Still on lead walks due to the injury, but so much more herself. Just Dylan and Rio went to Drax, and I took Bailey as well.…

  • Muddy Puppies

    Hate this time of year, our flyball training field isn’t bad for draining but there is only so much time for water to go away! The mud is awful, lots of bathed dogs and very short sessions. Dylan hasn’t flyballed since the beginning of December, so we were a little out of practice. Got some…

  • Hare'n'Hounds Valentines 2012

    No videos as I forgot the camera, oops. We ran on rubber contacts for the first time too; Dylan and Bailey couldn’t care less, it didn’t appear to make any difference to their contact performance. Also weirdly quiet to run on! I was surprised to see rubber contacts though, I didn’t remember seeing it on…

  • Tailwaggers Nov

    Back over at Tailwaggers this winter, they’ve done unaffiliated and I don’t blame them as the BAA has completely gone off the rails with some truly ludicrous rule changes amongst other things. Shame as it had the potential to be a great organization, but I won’t be bothering with it anymore. Dylan and I were…

  • 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…

  • Bouncing out of Grade 4 at Ribble

    Ribble was such a nice show! So relaxed and lovely courses from the judges, just really nice. Obviously a bit of a busy weekend nationally, I know people who were at Easington, Bromsgrove and somewhere in Wales?! Thankfully we were indoors, unlike all those other people, and a good job too because it rained all…

  • Dinnington Flyball

    I wasn’t expecting to enjoy Dinnington as much as I did, but it was a bit of a blast from the past; tiny one day tournament at a nice venue on good ground, just three divisions and a proper set of Starters, and the weather held all day. Done and dusted by 5:30pm. We knew…

  • Drax

    My first Drax. Events have always conspired against us in previous years, and we’ve never made it. Well, we kind of made it via Rotherdrax, but I’m not sure that counts! I warned everyone Kim wasn’t at all fit for solid racing, but due to one of the bottom team dogs coming into season, we…
