- We worked very hard all winter on our techniques
and it helped our racing in BC. We started with competitive times, and
then ran faster and faster and faster and then – opps – everybody was
upset. Would someone explain “breakout” to us. Eddi - Team Captain
(I know – Patty thinks she was captain but we know who was the real
leader)
- Saturday Dad fed me a big breakfast then Mom fed
me a second large breakfast and they wondered why I could not run faster
than 5 seconds. Isn’t someone else interested in running me in the
future? Maggie
- Following a post race meeting we prepared for the
next race. I planned to run third but Mom launched me second. About
the second hurdle I heard what I thought was a steam locomotive coming.
I looked back and saw Puma about to run over me. I prayed for divine
intervention. Thank goodness Puma is kind. Buster
- Every time Dad launched me I heard a loud “OH NO”
followed by a loud slap. Later I learned that Dad was slapping his head
and pulling his hair. He better change that behavior since he is
rapidly loosing his few remaining hairs. Pandy
- Saturday night I was lying on the floor when I
heard a loud POP. Soon I learned that it was Mom breaking another
crock-pot. Holly
- Mom kept bringing me soup bowls to lick. It was a
nice gesture but they were all empty. Would you people start leaving a
little more in the bottom of the bowl so it’s worth my effort. Puma
- Could anybody tell me if Dad was not paying
attention or was he really sleeping when he failed to launch me? I tried
to get away but couldn’t. Lacy
- I sure missed Justin’s massage especially when I
had a leg cramp. Maggie
- I have been working very hard on focusing my
efforts - but it just wasn’t fair when Mom let that pigeon clean up the
breadcrumbs right in front of my crate. Did she forget that I am a bird
dog first and a fly ball dog second? Rani
- I almost wet the floor when Merry and Mom laid
down on the hide-a-bed and it folded up pinning them in the mattress.
Holly
- I hear that Mom may not be allowed to make the
Motel reservations in the future unless she stops negotiating price
before they remove hot water from the agreement. Maggie
- Jim said that I almost lost the tournament for the
team. He said when I started 40 ft back and ran my fastest times ever
it caused us to break out. Well too bad – It’s my new strategy and I’m
going to continue it. Eddi - Team captain
- I sure was nervous when Eddi hurt her foot and I
had to fill in. I ran my best times ever. Boy that felt good!!!
Puma
- The fly ball tournaments allow me to catch up on
my naps. Parker
- It is a long two days when you don’t get to run
with the team. I know – I am just a young and up coming dog.
Scrappy
- I was trying to think of ways to further improve
my times and guess what – I saw the butter on the lunch table. It
stands to reason that eating butter would cause slick fur and better
aerodynamics. Mom didn’t understand my reasoning. Eddi Team
Capitan
- Did you all notice the tournament noise level
reduced as Merry and Mom lost their voices? Maggie
- I wish I could stop trembling every time Merry
looks at me. Pandy
- I heard rumors that Dexter is being considered for
fly ball training. Guess I better take my training seriously or I will
continue to be a spectator. Parker
- Thank goodness our trip included only one road
rage incident. Rani & Lacy
And finally I noticed all my team fellow members
fighting back tears as we proudly stood for pictures as the FIRST
PLACE TEAM.
Maggie
Ps: Remember now is the time to start whining to
attend the next tournament!!!!
