The MAINEiacs represented in Dover NH this past weekend! I have so much to re-cap!
I'll start at the top. We started the weekend with SDR on Friday night. Arrow made his debut with restrained recalls on the flat. He's a flyball dog in the making! Ziggy showed us that he didn't forget what flyball was on his winter vacation in FL. This earned him a warm up spot on WTF! Roxie, Rita, Pivot, Bullet and Levi all did full runs and had really great focus while working in a new environment. Bullet and Roxie also earned warm up spots on Bring it!
We then had a very tasty dinner at Cartelli's together.
Sat. racing started with mimosas to kick off the 2014 region 13 season. We had 3 teams representing The MAINEiacs this weekend.
WTF! Multi 2
Sammie, Kessie, Luna, Leap, Karmela, Ziggy
Bring it! Regular 2
Acre, Reese, Curly, Saoirse, Roxie, Bullet
Fine Whine! Vets
Shilo, Chance, Sassy, Jada, Xena, Winston(WW)
All 3 teams ran really well with only a few kinks to work out with starts, passing and dropped balls.
Rebeccah created dry erase boards for each team that she would write our warm up plan and team info on for each race. This was an awesome addition to our already organized group!
Sammie earned her FMCh (15k) title on Sat! I am pretty proud of her!
We had our biggest pot luck ever for lunch on Sat, which then fed us for dinner too!
Sarah H. was surprised with a puppy shower for Arrow. She shared the awesome gluten free paw print whoopie pie cake with Janice and Buster. Buster the flying Corgi has officially retired from flyball! We will all miss Buster in the lanes and Janice encouraging him to jump each jump!
After all this we had mat time for the dogs not on any line ups. Riot came out and looked awesome after the couple month break he has had from flyball. Banner got to stretch his legs with some recalls against Gemma. Gemma was pretty unfazed by the environment and she got some full runs in too! She'll do anything for cheese balls! You would have thought that Rita and Levi practice here all the time because they both worked as if it was FFD. Tilt did some great recalls too. All the green dogs did an awesome job and are getting closer and closer to their race day debut!
Then day 2 started!
All the teams were running like well oiled machines to start Sundays racing. Roxie, Bullet, Jada and Karmela got to run a few heats each. Xena and Ziggy did more warm ups and were getting into their groove.
Victoria and Deb did a great job stepping in and running Shilo and Kessie!
We continued to eat all day long on Sunday since we had so much food.
Some big highlights of the weekend were:
Sassy ran a 5.19!
Curly did clean up in the lanes of an extra ball or 2!
Sammie bobbled, almost knocked the boards over and managed to get back in the lane!
Luna self regulated with a bark at Kessie a few times which made a perfect pass!
Saoirse had an awesome re-run where she just followed Sarah's direction and spun around and got sent back down the lane for another ball!
Shilo had a 3.89 at almost 10yrs old!
Reese got to play start dog and got a perfect 0.000 start!
Chance was super solid and was still ready to race more when he was headed to the car to go home!
Kessie screamed her lil head off and was a very good girl for V!
Acre loves being start dog and does a happy dance the entire time!
Leap ran her lil heart out and seemed really happy to be playing flyball this weekend!
Roxie seems to like being bunched up with her Bring it! boys to rev her up and she did complete a really nice heat and showed that her hard work is paying off!
Karmela did a couple heats and was happy that she got to play a little bit!
Jada came out and was single striding on the way back for each of her heats!
Bullet keeps showing more and more interest in flyball and looks like he is having some fun!
To wrap things up from my long winded review, here are the final places.
WTF! 2nd place
Sammie, Kessie, Luna each earned 646 points, Leap earning 601 and Karmela earning 45 points
Bring it! 3rd place
Acre, Reese, Curly each earned 518 points, Saoirse earned 511 and Roxie earned 7 points
Fine Whine! 2nd place
Shilo, Sassy, Chance each earned 318 points and Jada earned 77 points
Thank you to all the MAINEiacs for working together at SDR, mat time and getting each team in and out of the lanes with such organization. Also for all the food!!!!
I apologize if I've missed anyone or anything that was exciting!
