Astro Boy 2

I to had a wonderful comp in Sydney, I thought everything was fantastic ( except for trying to get out at the end of the night with all of our dogs, LOL) I was so pleased with all of our dogs racing, and couldnt believe the times Sadie was running for her Uncle Josh after 3 days of racing. Was also so very proud of Nikeeshas little papillion Ricky as he is fairly new to the game and ran so unbeliveable for the two days with some very tight crosses from Jess. Well Done everybody on a fantastic comp!!!

Sharon, What a beautiful thought for Cathy at this sad time for her, Jeddah was a remarkable dog and i am sure she will love this thoughtful gesture from you. Maree, you are truly fantastic with your work, the poster looks great and i am sure Cathy will love it. Rhi, it was so nice of you to include your photos. Its times like these that i realise how precious photos are. Great work girls,and again I am sure Cathy will be eternally thankful.

We will be there, Sadie can't wait it seems like ages since our last comp. It will be great to catch up with Amanda and Ruth from Norwest again. See you all in less than a week!

umm cos duh it would be a suprise, as in no one would know, hence the fact people need to know to actually make a decision. I'm sure people can leave after they have finished racing or as soon as they seen the wedding party and not hang around for the wedding. I guess you dont have to worry, as i'm guessing you wont be there. As can be seen from the other posts a lot of people think its a great idea and believe you have caused enough trouble, so CONGRATS! Job well done! Its great that you are a fake member as i'm sure people would be truly disappointed if they knew who you really were.

Sorry, I forgot to add, CONGRATS TASSIE, it was great to see you at the comp, i hope you had a safe trip back and you all enjoyed the comp. You did a great job, hope to see you back soon. Would love to take a team to Tassie for a comp.

Yes, Nationals are 17th and 18th of October next year. We have a long time to wait for the next nats.

exactly, thankyou your right because if it was a suprise then people wouldnt be given the chance to choose for themselves. If it was still a surprise, why couldn't people leave after the comp and before the wedding, if they didn't want to stay for the wedding? Of course people have choices, no one is making anyone do anything they dont want to do.

Montanna, i'm guessing you wont be at the comp then, if it is unacceptable?

The Weiners are hosting a 2 day comp, with camping on sight. Yes 2 members are getting married on Saturday late afternoon, but they advertised there would be entertainment and a spit roast that night. The Spit roast is costing $15 pp. so i hardly think that the flyballers are paying for the reception. I have been to flyball comps where a spit roast has been offered for dinner on the Saturday night at $22 pp, and a great night out with flyball members. So whats the difference? No one has said that the competitors had to have the spit roast, it was offered. If people were really concerned they could have asked what the entertainment was. Sounds like a trouble maker, maybe you could have added the facts. Should be a great comp!

Hi I hope your training is going well. It is fraustrating when your dog decides to change the way it turns. My dog Sadie has been all over the place with her turns, she turns to the right, but she used to, when running in the left lane, get distracted by the dog in the right lane and then she would miss the first jump. So then she would take the ball from the left side when she was running in the left lane and the right side when running in the right side. This worked really well for 12 months or so (used to confuse the boxloader though). Then we tried her just in the left side, to stop some of the confusion and this works well, but she actually turns the other way. But thats her, never does anything easily! Hope all goes well, good luck flyballing.

Hi everyone, I haven't been on DOL for ages and looks like i have missed out on heaps. Your photos are amazing!!!! Thanks 2tollers for putting the photos of Sadie up. Harminee and Freckles you guys are amazing, THANK YOU so much for taking the time to do that with Sadies photos. She does have amazing ears and they always look funny in flyball photos, so no offence taken to previous comments ;) ;) 2tollers, you're right Sadie is 8 yo. not a typical flyball dog, but i am so proud of her :rolleyes: Keep up the great work guys, you are so considerate, and doing a fantastic job

Hi everyone, really interested in buying a black flyball box. If anyone knows of one please let me know. Thanks

YAH! Congrats leopuppy and Kinta! Go the ELLAGANT dogs. We called into Ana and Bens on Saturday and Ana was saying how they did really well at the shows in Brisbane too.

Thanks guys! Leopuppy I would love to see Leo in the obedience ring one day. He sounds like a very clever puppy! Your CD title sounded like my Cosmo's (my pappillion) he won the encouragement ring, then 2 weeks later went to Gippsland for 3 days of trials and came home with his CD :p Isn't it great when you get a really great, comitted dog. Gamby - Congrats on your test 1 pass I need to get Sadie back into tracking (will probably enter Ballarat) She misses it terribly. When coming home from Queensland, we stopped at a state forest, and i am sure Sadie was looking for the start flag. We had a great trip to nationals, we arrived the Sunday before, all the Ballarat Ellens hired a mini bus and our big trailer with Jazz,Dash,Hades,Fonzie and Sadie. Tiger was in the bus. The dogs went to doggy day care for 3 of the days (which they loved) and they were really relaxed going into the comp. and then we left on the Tuesday, travelled to the blue mountains and Jenouin caves, then spent 2 nights in Merrimbula visiting relatives, and got home on the Saturday. Had a great time! (apart from the weather) Tollersowned - you guys had great racing as well and kept us on our toes. Thanks for all your support over the weekend. Can't wait for next year ShelleyBeggs - Good Luck with your Aussie hunting! You wont be dissappointed, and your right it is a nice vibe!

My beagle uses raquet balls as she didnt like the felt of the tennis ball on her tongue. (however now she will play with a tennis ball, but still wont use one in flyball) It does turn out to be expensive as i normally buy new ones at $7 - $8 a ball!
