October
2009 - Anne goes off to the flyball Nationals 2009
in Sydney. The team did well winning their division. Anne
set up a Livestream video telecast for the weekend over the
internet.
Sept 5-6th
- I set up the ring with Anne, Edna and Craig on the
friday, a lot of work.
Another
2 day competition with all 3 of our dogs competing together,
but for the last time . Arlies last comp as she is now
retired from all dog sports due to her age, arthritis, etc.
Talin was put in
the top team with Delta, the team won all their races and
won the Champions Trophy.
Team two lost
Zaq late on sat afternoon with illness leaving Arlie to run
in every race. By the last race on sunday, it was all too
much for her and knocked a jump down in warm up and the
judge dissqualified her.
Unfortuneatly we
only had 3 dogs left leaving the team "un-competitive" and
didn't place or get any prizes.
August
2009- Pine Rivers Show flyball . Talin was in
team two and we had a great
win 7 races to 1 . Delta wasen't entered in this comp due to
her illness of collapses at training nights. Arlie was in a
couple of singles races, but getting too old and hot for
team racing. It was a great day, and very enjoyable.
Our regular team of Talin, Cinda, Inca were forming a great
bond. Just missing Allana & Banjo to complete the group.
July
25
- For the first, all 3 of our dogs are competing in
the same flyball competition.
I was hopeing
Arlie got her 5 pionts up to get her first title and
complete titles in all her sports that she has done. Delta
was with Anne in team one, Talin in team2 and Arlie in team
3 with me. Team one came first, team two came first and
raced against each in the Champions Trophy which team one (
Awesome Pawsome One ) won.
June 28 -
Gold Coast Pet expo flyball comp, Anne is entered in team
one with Delta, Talin has healed well and I entered him and
Arlie into singles & pairs demo comp. This was a 2-day
competition, we set up ring on friday with some media
coverage from local tv station and newspaper.
Cinda got into
the first team and did well, they won every race except the
first. Team one got into the champions trophy against AP2
which is team 2. Awesome Pawsome Two won the champions
trophy and they were very happy.
June 13
- I enter Arlie in "jumpin in June " flyball comp as a
warm-up dog. Next week she turns 11 years old, and her
flyball days are almost over. She got to run in a few heats
but didn't do very well, she did finish the day with some
complete runs giving her a point.
June
2009-Talin gets a lump removed from his back, a week
later the wound opens up and has to go to emergency centre
for another operation to be restitched, another 2 weeks of
limited exercise, which caused him to miss the next 2
flyball comps. I was annoyed.
May
2009- Talin competes in his very first flyball
competition, " Million Paws Walk" comp at St Lucia . His
best friend Cinda the cattle dog owned by Edna competes as
well for the first time. Both dogs did very well, Talin got
enough points for his first title FD ( flyball dog ), I was
very proud of him.Anne did well with Delta in team one,
winning the division and the champions trophy.

missed due to rain, I decided to teach him flyball in the backyard
as a fill-in activity. His progress was quick and video can be seen
