  • An Essay Writing Diversion: Kim and Dylan

    —

    in , , , , ,

    I really should be writing my essays right now, especially because I entered Shrewsbury this weekend knowing full-well that my essays would be due in next week. Just another 3500 words to go … Dylan and I had a horrible training session yesterday. I was going to post about it in an attempt to try…

    Arg, what a horrible weekend. It’s weekends like this that make me want to walk away and not bother any more! Kim Saturday didn’t start well, Kim was very flat in her Clockwork Tunnels and it basically got worse from there! We didn’t get a decent clear round until the last run of the day…

  • Dogs on Top, March 1st

    in , , , ,

    Yesterday was definitely a day of extremes! I had six classes, four with Kim and two with Dylan. All the courses were reasonable – the Open Tunnel Vision was really tough and I’m so glad I didn’t enter Dyl! – but I thought all the others were either lovely or at least do-able. How wrong…

  • Training at the Park

    Dylan and I are finally clicking! We had such a good training session today, even with minimal equipment! I managed to take 1 jump and 6 weaves to the park, and the boy was flying. He’s got crazy-fast weaves, and we’re able to read each other better so he understands what I want him to…

    First show of the month! Katie was supposed to be coming with her hounds too but a couple of inches of snow and she bailed out. I have to admit at some points in the day I wish I’d stayed in bed too! First run of the day was Open Time Gamblers. Part of me…

  • Dylan's Blog: Sunday Training

    Sunday was a mixed bag at training. I didn’t take Kim with me because I figured she needed a week off, we had a pretty hectic January. So just me and the tall boy! We started off really well, working on the 12 channel weaves about 1″ apart, and on a basic flick-flack. Flick-flacks are…

    Dylan’s first show! I’m very proud of him, he did far better than I expected him to. We were E’d in Power & Speed because they threw 12 weaves in and as Dylan has never done 12 upright weaves, I wasn’t expecting much! He did 8 happily but then was a bit confused, but his…

    Finally back on form with Kim – EMDAC (Oct) and Wyre (Dec) were a bit down, just one 4th in the end despite a couple of good runs – but she decided to start 2008 with a bang. She came 2nd in both jumping classes, missing out on 1st in the Jumping by 0.3 seconds…

  • Dylan's Blog: Training Update

    Just a quick update on Dylan’s blog. It’s been an immensely stressful and exhausting beginning to the month, and all the dogs have had to take a back seat. However, Dylan and I managed to find a half hour to do some training in today, and we had a lovely session. I didn’t have any…

  • Doncaster Flyball Tournament & Wyre Agility

    Wyre I’m not sure I want to talk about Wyre! We had a nice day but for the first two runs I just didn’t get my head sorted. The courses were fair but erred on the easier side and we missed a weave entry on one (bit of a shock, we haven’t done that for…
