Ruckus
Batavia Flyball October 17/18
Tuesday October 20, 2009
What a great weekend I had with my Team mates in Batavia NY. There was lots of shopping, haircutting and eating in addition to great flyball.
Our FBI team of Razzle/Trek, Drake, Holly/Ben & Ruckus placed first in Regular 2.
Razzle & Trek continue to improve every tournament. Razzle is now running many 4.0’s and Trek is now running many 3.9’s with his best being a very low 3.92! I really think Trek may have a 3.8 in his future.
Ruckus was our height dog and ran all 10 races handled by “New York” Kathy. He did a fine job the entire weekend and his speed is approaching his old times pre addisions.

Carp Co-host September Flyball Tournament
Tuesday September 22, 2009
Holly cow! What a great tournament weekend. The weather was perfect, it was my birthday and my dogs all performed really well. Ruckus is getting back in shape posting much improved times now that he is on medication for his addison’s disease. Roo ran super well for Cheryl and Jake as always for Viv.
My biggest delight was running Trek for the first time. His first 2 heats he posted 4.0’s and then started throwing in some 3.9’s over the weekend! Wow...my best debuting dog ever, and he loves it, including the cool off pool!

Carp Flyball August 8th & 9th
Friday August 21, 2009
Had a great time playing flyball after the stressful National agility weekend.
Razzle posted her first 4.0! Hopefully we will see more of those as she races more. She was running very consistent 4.1’s on Saturday and I knew she’d have a 4.0 in her Sunday morning. Fixx shared with Razzle and ran very well too.
Jake ran for my friend Vivienne. He loved it as always and was a great dog for a new handler.
Ruckus made is debut again after is spring addisons crisis, and shaved almost a full second off his previous times.
Trek did his first warmup on Saturday and looked good!
Our open team finished in 2nd place and our regular 1 team in 3rd place.

Ruckus has Addison's Disease
Thursday April 30, 2009
Poor Ruckus! He had quite the rough week or two in April. He was a very sick little guy and diagnosed with Addison’s Disease.
He’s doing very well now though and back to his old self minus a few pounds
With proper care, Ruckus should still be able to play flyball with his disease. We are taking things easy at the moment, but will be getting him active again soon.

Jake and Roo ran on FBI’s regular team and placed 3rd. Roo hasn’t been running much flyball lately as she has been focusing on agility, but she ran really well. I enjoyed running her again. Jake was handled in the start position by my good friend Pat.
Roo
Ruckus was the height dog for our Open team which placed 2nd. He had a few little brain melt downs, but ran well for the rest. He wasn’t as exhausted as he was at the November tournament so hopefully his fitness level is improving.
