Well i really must be mad as we decided to make the trip north again to Doncaster for more flyball. The racing was held indoors in a riding school with turf laid down on the racing lanes and runback. Not seen this before and i have to say i was impressed with how good it looked and the ammount of work that must have gone into laying it before hand, although it had all got very muddy by the time division 1 started. Today i was not just running Cai but Campbell was making his open debut too. I hadn't been that bothered about running him before now as hes very slow compaired to Cai and not really that bothered about the ball. I think he just does it because i ask him nicely. Well he was a little star and actually rather enjoyed himself! I think he may have even run under 5 seconds once during the day. He ran in 3rd position and crossed in nicely and came back out without even looking at the other dogs which has been a problem in the past. Unfortunatly other dogs in the team let us down so although he completed all but 2 leg he has not ended up with many points but i know he can do it now so look forward to his next show.
Cai's team ran well but we were down Breeze one of our key dogs as she had started fitting foillowing the show the week before so got no where near our seed time and got smashed in all the first halfs races. We clawed our way back in the afternoon and ended up 3rd (there were 7 teams in our division) Counting up the points it looks like they have ended up with around 600 each as we took many races to 5 legs! All in all a good day... although i got up at 3.30am sunday morining and didnt get back to 1.30am that night! 22 hours awake for flyball.... not sure id do it again. Oh hang on we are going back in March! i think we are offically mad.
