We made the trip up to the Live Wires/Dolphins tournament at the Deeside Leisure Centre, Queensferry on Saturday.
The venue is fantastic for an inside show, with plenty of runback (except for Loki who would find 200 feet of runback too small!!!) and a fantastic cafe!
We were in division 2 and on a declaired time of 20 seconds (our seed time having lapsed just 2 days before the paperwork was done) we were actually in the right division. Our fastest time was 20.38.
Ollie was running in his first tournament since last June, and he did not put a paw wrong all day.
Loki ran well, but he's not teribly happy running on matting, so considering, he did well.
Grace (Pointer) didn't get that many runs, but she ran well.
Kes was there as back up to little brother Ice, just in case. So she only got a few runs in the afternoon when I ce got tired and started spitting out the ball.
Lottie (Charlotte Rose in flyball circles) was her usual dedicated little self. She now has a fan club from the Wilmslow team!! Lottie hopes this will bring her lots of extra food!!!!
The star of the day has to be Ice. He is just 18 months old and has only done one starters competition. But, he ran like an experienced dog and as a bonus, he got 225 points which means he has his Flyball Dog title!!!! He also drew blood on Kim, his handlers finger, which means he is a real, proper flyball dog!
Our next show is at Easter, in Hampshire. So, between now and then it's lots of hard training to get their speed, fitness and stamina up to scratch!!
They don't call me Mic Martin for nothing LOL
