All Dogs Flyball, Manchester, NH- January 8, 2005: We start off the new year with our second tournament at the All Dogs Gym in Manchester.  Before the tournament even started we had a bit of bad luck- Lisa (owner of Haiku) got sick so she could not join us (even though she wanted to more than anything).  We brought Sally, Eartha, Susie, Chance and Lark.  It was Chance's first tournament to be running most of the races, and he handled it well.  Unfortunately, he did what many novice border collies do and tried to chase down his opponents after the races.  By the end of the day, we think he was getting it better.  Lark did well in warm-ups, but is not quite ready for real races- it'll happen soon enough.  Sally went back to being start dog and was doing well getting passed by the evil (in her mind) terrier.  We didn't run so hot our first three races, but things were coming together by the last two races.  Too bad it was only a one day tournament...
