| After many years with lurchers who showed no interest whatsoever in retrieving anything, Phil and Eileen are delighted that Finnegan has taken so well to Flyball but not particularly surprised as they can’t mention the word ‘ball’ at home without being mobbed! |  |

Billy Bob, however, has taken a little longer to grasp the rudiments of the sport (approximately 3 years!) but then he’s a greyhound - they’re late developers. En route to that moment at Phoenix when it finally clicked, he has given the team and spectators some memorable moments doing his impersonation of a gazelle! And Stan can testify to the force of a 30 kg greyhound in full flight!!! | |

| When
Jenny – a 5 year-old ex-racer - joined the pack she came along to
practice with the boys and – against all expectations - quickly
demonstrated the inherent superiority of her gender by appearing in
starters within a few months. Phil
and Eileen are now looking forward to the day when Hillam fields a
‘hounddog’ team (but need a bigger campervan!). |

Finnegan,
Billy Bob and Jenny share their pad with a chatty puss.
Phil tinkers with cars and Eileen reads for England – when work
doesn’t get in the way. |
