Farnham Park

Jem was in extraset this weekend and Elliot in rockets which meant I got to run them both :)

Extraset were first on and won their first race :) They won their first leg in the second race but then in the second leg the start dog from the other team ran across onto our lane when Jem was at the box. With Jem in flyball mode she was not impressed by this and decided to tell the dog off for getting in her way, unfortunately for Jem the other dog didn't back down and Jem ended up coming off worst with a puncture wound in her foot. Sadly we only had 4 dogs in extraset this weekend and so we lost the rest of our races (Perry, Smartie and Jamie still ran though so we didn't loose our points from the morning), we did however still manage to finish 3rd as 3 teams won 2 races and we had the fastest time!!!! :) I also managed to see that Jem ran a 4.5 :)

Rockets did really well and won their division with a new best time of 18.30 :) Elliot refused to play tuggy this weekend as well and so I have come to the conclusion that it is in fact just that he is back racing every weekend and having access to tennis balls more frequently - he hasn't had them at home for ages but I think being back at flyball with all the excitement the value for the ball far outweighs the value for the tuggy! At least he is giving me a job for the winter :)

I also managed to do pretty well with my handling this weekend, with some pretty good starts with Jem and I ended up getting my eye in much better with Elliot and his changeovers :)

I am keeping my fingers crossed Jem is better by next weekend but either way I will get to run Elliot again as they are in separate teams :)
