More Flyball???

Okay since I have been talking about flyball a lot recently I thought I would post some pics and video from the tournament this weekend. We are not used to playing flyball two weeks in a row!

Here is a picture of Loki and I. Loki is a Belgian Malinois and he has been racing since 2002. Each dog earns points for each race they run depending on how quickly the team finishes the race together. The most they can earn per heat is 25pts. Loki is less than 500 points away from earning his next title which is FGDCh40. Which means he has earned 40,000 points!

Scram didn't get to race much because there was only space for one of my dogs to race on Saturday and since I am working on Loki's title, Loki got to race not Scram. When he finally did get to race on Sunday he was crazy! Scrammy is next to earn a title. He is less than 2,000 points away from his FDGCh30. You guessed it, 30,000 points.
And finally I have a video for you. It isn't our team but it is fun to watch no matter who is racing.

This is a video of a team called Sundogs vs. a team called Dog Gone. Enjoy




This is the dog paw/tennis ball pendant I made and wear to each flyball tournament: (I can make one for you too!)










Well, off to recouperate from another tournament!

Exhausted from a weekend of flyball

Okay so this weekend we competed at a flyball tournament, Loki, Scrammy and I. Our team co-sponsored the tournament. There was a lot of racing and it is always fun to hang out with friends we have made over the years through flyball and our dogs. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures. You can learn more about flyball at www.flyballdogs.com/waverunners ~ our team website.

I was off work the week between Christmas and New Years and I didn't get much done of what I wanted to get done but I did make jewelry and I made more felt for our purse project. I will be posting the new Valentine hearts to my etsy shop hopefully tonight: www.dizzydogdesigns.etsy.com The last one I listed sold within an hour of listing! I had two commissioned pieces to make, a dog tag for a friend's frisbee dog (front and back pics here) and a bracelet for a co-worker. So those took up some time.











I am very tired and most probably delirious from the weekend's fun so I will just leave you with this funny vid I posted to my youtube account (chevycgc) of two of my silly dogs leapin' for squirrels.



Happy New Year! I hope this year will be a better one for everyone!
