Our flyball tournament the weekend before last was great!  I was afraid that Faith would not remember how to play flyball because we haven't been going to practices, but she raced nearly as well as she did in York.  We had single dog racing on Friday night after setting up (which involved vast quantities of duct tape), and I signed Faith up to race ( Read more... )
