Had our last weekend of flyball for a few weeks, a nice friendly and relaxed tournament hosted by the lovely Dolphins team over at Eastham on the Wirral. The weather was good and the racing too, the teams were slightly mixed up as we had some people missing so were running 5 instead of the usual 6 teams which saw both Dottie and Faith promoted to higher teams but we had some incredibly tight racing in all divisions, really good fun!
The pups all came too and now they've all had their full course of vacciantions got to have a good nosey round the show, sorry no pics because I forgot to take my camera (batteries all charged up and ready to go but not a lot of use on the hall table...doh!!)
Saturday night was a good laugh when the Dolphins decided to run a 'human flyball' competition, there were plenty of people wanting to have a go so we actually got together 6 4-person teams and ran it in the usual tournament round-robin format. Paul, Alison, Gem and I ran as the 'Demon Dogz' for the first time (lol) and my god it was knackering!! I have decided that it's much harder for a taller person to get a good 'turn off the box' because we have such a long way to bend down to catch the ball!! Gemma had a cracking turn though (short-arse that she is!! lol). John Clarke was taking lots of piccies (much to his amusement) so I'll keep checking the Sunnyside Photography website and post another link when they're on. Anyway, the Dolphins team won it (fix!!) and there was a single leg run of for 2nd between Red Rose and Demon Dogz with Len just pipping Gemma and pushing us into 3rd place...oh well, we had fun!!
All in all a lovely weekend of flyball and a nice way to end our time running as part of the Red Rose gang. We have a month off now and will be back out as the Demon Dogz at Rotherham on the 12th July. Alison and I will be at Blackpool champ show this weekend, Friday with Squirrel (eek...my first time showing a parson and a very naughty one at that!) and back again on Sunday with the BC's. I hope the weather perks up...Blackpool always seems to end up being a mudbath!
Here's a link to our new team website anyway... Demon Dogz Flyball Teams
