Flyball and the UK climate
The British [UK] climate always makes outdoor events a challenge!
When people have to travel to qualifying events for flyball or agility shows they often stay in camper vans or caravans [even tents]... so far this spring the weather hasn't been kind.
But a wet and windy winter and spring is often followed by a dry period - well we can hope, can't we [or dream]. Events take place despite the weather and it's great to be enjoying our sport even with the extra challenge provided by the UK climate.
With the extra fear of slips and sprains on wet ground, is now a good time to look at your pet insurance?
I have heard very good reports regarding:-
They take on older dogs and pay your vet direct... at least this is what I have been led to believe. I'm going to check it out further, and may even change over to them as a pet insurance for our seven year old RR.

What have Tigers got to do with Flyball Dogs?
The short answer to the question posed in our title is... NOTHING! But please bear with me and read on...
Make the Tiger Trade ban Permanent
If you care about wildlife in general, and tigers in particular please visit the two different page links [above, and below] now...
Below, also, is a quote from one of the web pages which these links point to -
"Tiger numbers have decreased dramatically in recent decades due to poaching to supply the illegal trade in tiger parts, used in traditional medicines, as clothing for cultural ceremonies and as decorative objects such as rugs.
It is illegal markets in China which drive most tiger poaching and illegal trade. To its credit, China has taken many steps to stem this problem; however, its commitment to ending tiger trade is now wavering."
the Illegal Tiger Trade must end
