    I can’t believe it was a full week since we were sat outside at Arbury Hall, sorting out the last minute arrivals and putting up tents. It was a bit weird being there with just Mollie and Dylan; Rio was at home recovering, and we didn’t want to take Kim for her to be sat…

    This was such a fun tournament. I think everyone knows what an absolute Olympics fangirl I am, and I was gutted not to get tickets for our home games this year. Instead I’m glued to the television 24/7 watching all the coverage, so I was panicking going into this weekend knowing I would be missing…

    We stuck with our original lineup for Dylan’s team and it worked well, we were running more consistent times but not nearly as fast as I would like. Chip and Dylan were running just over 10s as a pair pretty much all day, which I was pleased about as a consolation. They’re running over 14″,…

    Rio’s first visit to a flyball competition! That is the most important thing that happened all day, of course. Dylan ran very well, not as well as he could have done simply because he was running with unfamiliar dogs, and so was I. Our changeovers were not consistent! He ran steady 4.8s over 11″. I…

    Lovely day at Sutton Fields. I love this venue, I am going to continue my pestering of the team and hope we get to go again next May. Two mix teams as we had several dogs on holiday (how inconvenient!), although Dyl’s team was actually the same as usual but with a fifth dog change.…

    Good weekend, close racing and Notts were excellent hosts. Shame the venue wasn’t as wonderful as everyone else seemed to think (we camp in a tent, flat clean ground is important). Dylan’s team broke their seed time and won their division, which was great. We also managed to get splits on the dogs for all…

    Saturday was flyball day, as per usual for this weekend. We only had two teams in but both were 6-dog teams, which I hate, but as we had some dogs coming back from injury etc it was really the only option. Kim and Mollie both ran very well, Kim back to her usual self and…

    The girls’ team wasn’t quite on form, it still feels like a very new lineup and we aren’t all on the same page a lot of the time. Kim was much better this week, lots of comments on her improvement. Many thanks to Kath for that! Dylan’s team was … weird. We had a 4-dog…

    Who are you going to vote for? Are you even going to vote? This post isn’t going to address any of the candidates directly as I don’t think that’s fair, I’m just going to make a wishlist of what I hope to see, as my voting slip came through the post today. It hasn’t been…

    Excellent flyballing, some very good racing. Dylan was on brilliant form, the specialised training we’ve been doing recently has been hugely and noticably beneficial for him and a few of the other dogs. It was very cool to see real results so quickly! His boxturn wasn’t brilliant, he is coming away much sharper now rather…
