So 2009 begins! Happy New Year everyone and every dog.  Thunder Paws is headed off to our first flyball tournament of this year, this weekend.

We are headed to Hurricane Utah. We will have two full teams, though our alternates are a bit light.  Hopefully we won’t need them.  I think they are not doing variety again… which is a bummer. We can usually get a nice variety team going.

Our Seed times are fair… our 21 second team, Thunder Paws Lightening Tails, however, has a breakout of 20 seconds, so we are going to be cutting that pretty close.

Our faster team, Thunder Paws Don’t Blink, has a seed time of 18.5 seconds… which is the slowest in that division (S2) with a breakout time of 16 seconds.  So that’ll be fun!

We are excited and looking forward to winning some races!

We are back from the Nothing To It tournament in Hurricane, Utah, hosted by the Stampede flyball club! We had a great time and we did quite well, too. We had a few bad races, in the beginning, as we were working out passing times and such. But after that we did good. On Saturday we got a first place in Division three with our fastest team, and a third place in division four with our slower team. We also had a variety team… but dangit, now I can’t remember where that one placed! We also had a pickup team with Stampede, so we were basically running four teams, it was a crazy day!

We will have to keep better results.. most of the sheets are with Laurie, our flyball captain, who is off galavanting doing Jack Russel things for the next couple of weeks in California. But I can post an update!

From the U-FLI website we have some results from our two Sunday teams. Here is our Division Three team, Don’t Blink, times, and results:

And here are our results from our Division Four team, Claws N Paws:
