Blog Lazy!

I have not been keeping up to date with my blog :( Sorry!

Easter weekend, Tinky competed in her first flyball tournament. She plays with SuperDog Central's On The Fly. She had a good first tournament but needs work on passing and not spitting. She spat her ball way more then I had expected her too.

Each of the 3 days were it's own tournament. Tink ran in Regular on Friday and Sunday, and in Open on Sunday.


Friday our Regular team tied for first, but got beat out in fastest time to place second. On Saturday the same thing happened, another tie but got beat out in time and ended up second. Our Regular team on Saturday got first place. On Sunday Tink's team went into the finals tied
for first and won the first 3 heats in the best of 5!


Tink ended up with 575 and her first 3 flyball titles, FD, FDX, and FDCH.

Also yesterday we attending the last Rat Pack trial of the indoor season. Tink had 5 runs, Steeplechase, Master Standard, Master Team, Master Snooker, and Master Jumper. Tink had an off course (two wrong tunnels and an extra jump in Jumpers) in all but Master Standard and Team. I messed up Tink's weaves in Standard, and because of that redid a blown frame contact, and Tink's only clean run was Team, her partner, Goofy, (it apparently was the Disney Team) must have caught Tink's disease and took a wrong tunnel entry. So no Q's for the day, but all the bars stayed up. I'll be posting videos on YouTube soon, but meanwhile the flyball vids are up there.

Kessie gets to play

Kessie went to play a few fun courses at SuperDog Central today! She had some equipment that was different then she has seen (full height dog walk, chute, double jump) and she handled all of those like and old pro! We started off doing small sequences at a time, trying to work at her going ahead instead of biting my feet! By the end of the day, she almost did a full jumpers course nicely! (I still rewarded after the tire, her arch nemisis!) She did much better then I was even hoping for! I was proud of my girlie!

New venue, fun weekend!

K9 Klubhouse held their first indoor trial at WindReach farms last weekend. WindReach Farms is a beautiful facility that does a lot of work with disabled children. Tink had some nice runs. Another Steeplechase Q and some other close calls. We also had a really bad run, but they don't happen as often as they used to, so it wasn't so bad! I forgot my camera, so no video this week. :(
