Recapping 2009

2009 proved to be a trying year for Fly'N Aces but also an outstanding year as well.  It was filled with heartbreak when all of our equipment was stolen, but our team rallied together, and proved we are a team in more ways than one.   Our Hearts and Diamonds teams achieved new team personal best times.  Diamonds was able to take 1st place in two tournaments this year, along with our senior team, Team Rimadyl.  Fly'N Aces had a lot of new dogs debut and many individual dog accomplishments to round out the excitement for the year.  Our team could not be more proud of our dogs!  We look forward to seeing what 2010 will bring our way. 

Listed here are some of the team and individual accomplishments we achieved this year in U-FLI.
