Mad Mutts Flyball Tournament

Campbell was running with the Dream Team on Saturday in division 8. He didn’t run very well at his last tournament as he was running 3rd with a dog crossing into him who gets very hyped up and ran from the line barking and screaming. Campbell doesn’t like crossing into a dog he doesn’t know especially one like this and he starts to drop the ball. Sadly he obviously remembered and dropped the ball quite a few times we also had many of the other dogs running out and generally messing around so did well to actually take home a rosette. They finished 4th but it didn’t feel like they deserved it! He did manage a 5.35 second time though and finished on an average of 5.54 seconds which is his best to date. Slow but to be honest better than I ever expected from him

Cai was running in Division 1 which to be honest is starting to get me down a bit. We are now too fast for Division 2 but don’t really stand a chance in division 1 as we just don’t have the dogs. We tried our best all day and even managed to beat the Bassett Hotdogs who are the current British record holders. We didn’t realize how well we were doing though until someone said if we win our last race we will come 1st. Our dogs ran there best but it wasn’t quite good enough and we lost our last race to the top seed in the division. There was a 3 way tie for second which we ended up loosing on time and finally finished 4th. Annoying but on the right day it shows we could pull off something special.
