Cascade Comets South of the Border Tournament

October 20 – 21,  2012

This time it was Buffy and Ruffy who joined Seeker and Chianna at a tournament in Auburn, Washington.    The gallant little foursome ignored the cold in the barn and rain on their cool downs and pre race walks to show that these Canadian dogs have what it takes to pull off a second place finish in Division Two on the Saturday.    Unfortunately, on Sunday, the Feared Flyball FFFantoms struck with a vengance;    a sprained ankle in the first heat of the first race  (thanks, Jeff of Jet City, for running Ruffy that race), false starts, early passes, runamuck Ruffy, and dropped balls all plagued us throughout the day.    Despite all this, we did survive and placed fourth of five teams, so it wasn’t all bad!

The weather was such that our potluck supper on Saturday night saw the team cozily together around the table in Aaron & Laura’s motorhome, sharing some good laughs and stories.   As always, the social aspects of the weekend help to make it all worthwhile;    we must have fun, ’cause we keep doing it!

Coats were needed in camp

Tony found other jobs to do as well as box loading
