It's been 3 months since my last post.  Many things have happened some good and some not.  The delay in posting has been due to one major event so I will briefly tell you about it and move on to the good stuff.  In March I lost my heart dog, Bounce.  It has been one of the hardest things I ever had to deal with and I struggle each day without him.  I can't thank my teammates and flyball friends enough for all of their continuing support.  I couldn't survive this without them.  I miss you to the moon and back, Bounce.

On to the good stuff...

In April the team traveled to one of our favorite tournaments, The MAINE COAST RUNNERS Spring Fling!  The venue is great, hotel is close and we always have a good time.  This year their entry was so big they had to go to a two ring tournament.  My least favorite flyball tournament format. MCR asked if we could co-host and run the second ring.  Since they have done so much for us the team eagerly agreed to help them out.  FM rocked ring one!  I never even had to worry about who was covering the table...they had it totally under control all weekend!

In race 6 our OPEN team, "To the moon" ran a memorial heat for my sweet boy, Bounce.  We ran Layla, (Bounce), Leap and Chance.  Lori from Prepare for Take-off wrote and read a wonderful tribute for him. It was an incredibly hard moment in my life but exactly what I needed to say goodbye to my flyball boy and keep playing this sport that I love.  Thank you to Scott and WMM for allowing to run only 3 dogs that heat. Again, the flyball community is amazing and I thank each and every member of R13 and R10 that has shown me what friendship is all about.

After race 6 FM was back to business.  All of teams ran great! All of our NEWBIES on Open teams were awesome too!  Some had great warm-ups and some ran their first heats.  So good to see the new dogs up and running.  Thank you to White Mountain Mayhem for supplying so many warm-up and part-time spots for us...including KESSIE.  Someday that little screamer is going to run!!!!

We walked away with many titles:
Chance FMX
Lark FMCh
Molly May FMX
Shilo 30 FGDCh
Kaiser FDCh-S
Lucy FDCh
Bodhi FDX
Sammie FD
Flossie FDX

Just a few weeks after Dover a few of us headed North to FAME! We ran an open team with Cheryl and Indi from Push Play!  We had some of our best times ever and ran quite a few times under 20 seconds...which is huge for us! Lisa, Victoria and I made the trip up.  We stayed at the "Berry Box" with Kathy Berry and had a grand time.  We ate well and slept well and it was awesome!!

What the Fuzz?!  Sally, Shilo, Leap/Xena/Karmela, Indi.  We went undefeated all weekend, with a best time of 19.04 and a new FDCh-G title for Leap!  Such a great time in the lanes in R10!

I think that brings us to "now."  Our next tournament will be a small team traveling to PEI in July.  We are also hoping (okay, I'm hoping I can go) to send a team to Foxboro in July.
