I couldn't hear you
As Roland mentioned he was nice enough to accompany me to a flyball tournament this past weekend. I'm not sure how much he really liked it, but it was really nice to share it with him. It was, as usual, extremely loud. I still don't understand how the other team members spend all day in there without some sort of ear protection. I use my ear bud earphones. I don't normally have them plugged into anything, I just use them for the noise reduction. I warned Roland ahead of time so he also had some ear plugs with him.
Bleys did get to warm up a few times and he did okay. I think he would have gotten it by the end of the weekend if we had gotten in just a couple more runs. But it just didn't work out, I guess. Unfortunately the tournament in October got canceled, I won't be able to go to the one in November, and there isn't one in December (holidays and all). So it will be quite a while until Bleys gets to try again. I'm trying not to be bummed about this, but it isn't working at all.

Glad you had fun... why is it so loud?
Hi Jason! It gets so loud because (at least here in Florida) the tournaments are held in, well I guess they are pretty much air conditioned pole buildings. Often on the local fair grounds or whatnot. So the walls are bare and the floor is cement. Add to that the cacophony probably a hundred or so very excited dogs. It's pretty intense, hence the need for the ear plugs.
