Flyball, Flyball, Flyball...



Well thought I should post something after so long if for no other reason than to prove we were still about! We had a Flyball tournament at the weekend in sunny Cambridgeshire. They had a great photographer there who took some impressive action shots. 

This is little Chip doing a fantastic box turn in Division 1.

And I cross over with the next dog in my team quite well !

Nice day for a walk

Its amazing how fast the snow disappears but at least it meant we got a good run out today.


The sun came out a bit when we were in the park and it was still a bit chilly as the wind was strong and gusty today.


 The grass doesn’t seem to be affected from all that snow.



Apart  from where its has turned into temporary pools which are great for zooming through.

Snowy Flyball

We had our second Flyball tournament of the year on Sunday. Its been snowing quite a lot in the UK at the moment so the car park was quite interesting at Maidstone market where the tournament was held.


Plus the drive there and back was a bit slower than normal although to be fair the gritters kept all the roads nice and clear.

No race pictures this  time but as it was indoors we all had a snow free time. Unless we were using the outside toilet facilities...

We both did really well with our teams. I got a 4th place with mine and Chip got a great 1st place with his team who raced in Division one. So it was really worth going along.

This is both of us siting nice and cozy in the car with Chips 1st place rosette on show.

 
The boss says that's not a cat bed that Chips got but I am not so sure...

Training Day

Me and Chip had a trip to Essex today as our Club was doing some joint training with another flyball Club, Ramsden. It was nice and sunny despite there being a weather forecast we could have some snow.

   
We had a good training session and some competitive racing against some dogs we didn't know which spiced things up a bit.


We are off to another Tournament next week so this different sort of training should hopefully help a bit with our racing.
