Mardi Gras Madness 2010

A small group of MAINEiacs traveled to Fitchburg, MA. this weekend for Weston Whirlwinds Mardi Gras Madness tournament...and it was madness for sure!  Two ring venue's are never a favorite of mine but our dogs took it all in stride. 

What the fuzz? took second place in open division with Bounce, Sassy, Leap & Lucy. Shilo played on Saturday but was not feeling well so Lucy stepped in to save the day!!!  Joey and Lucy did a fantastic job stepping up and running with the big dogs! Sassy and Bounce ran very consistent all weekend and had lots of fun in the lanes!! Congrats on the new FDX title for Lucy!!  Our little Leap also held it together in her first full time spot and earned her FDCH-S title!

Bring it! ran in Open with Sally, Taboo (from Dirty Dogs), Karmela, Bounce and Flossie!  This was a nice little team and I had fun running Bounce with them.  Karmela was awesome and seems to be back on track!  The star of our little team however was not a dog but a handler....WELCOME TO FLYBALL ANDY!!!  Andy got to run Sally all weekend, he did a great job...and he's hooked!!!  Flossie had some really great warm-ups until she decided Mardi Gras was not really her kind of scene.  We'll try again in Dover with Floss with the hopes that she more of Spring Fling kind of girl! Bring it! came home with a second place finish in our open division!

Both teams came home with new TUGGIE awards, ribbons and magnets...not to mention all the goodies from our welcome baskets!  I'm at flyball to play with my dogs and have fun with my friends but I'm not gonna lie...I LOVE FRILLS!!! Weston know how to do frills!!!

Another highlight of the weekend was all the great food!  From the new menu at the hotel restaurant to stopping at Cracker Barrel on the way home. YUM!!!

As always it was great to have our friends from FAME to race with too!!

Big Thanks to Lorraine from CMJ for running Shilo while his could still run.  She did a great job with him and still has her knees intact!!  Thanks to Michelle and Taboo...AKA Bear for running with us in open!!! One more BIG thanks to Anne from CMJ for boxloading for FUZZ!  An excellent job as always!!!

Go Green Dogs was a success!!

The Flyball MAINEiacs Go Green Dogs tournament was a complete success!  I was unable to do much of anything for set-up on Friday or during the tournament on Saturday. Out of commission with what turned out to be Sciatica.  This awesome team never missed a beat though.  Members jumped in anywhere and everywhere they were needed!!  Huge thanks to Alyson for walking my dogs all day and running Shilo!  Thanks to Alicia and Steph for running Bounce...my little "momma's boy."

The NAFA lights were a disaster but once we got them figured out racing ran smooth for the rest of the day.  All the teams adjusted quickly to the short runback area and aside from so less than perfect starts everyone was very happy with the space.  Cindy did a great job judging with no relief judge in sight!  Thank you to Cindy and WW for being such troopers!!

Thank you MAINEiacs for being such an awesome group of people!  You make me very proud!!
