Here is
Kelley CD CGC my other token Border Collie. She is a total riot! We
tried agility with her, but she was so FAST that I couldn't
keep up with her. She would jump the A Frame rather than running up it
and back down the other side. She never missed the contacts on it.
Kelley
loves water and swims like a duck, hardly making a ripple on the
water. I found that out that she loved water at 4 months when she went
running out into a pond and started swimming like it was old hat. Newt
hates the water and so do most of my Shelties, except Chase.
Kelley
did manage to earn her Companion Dog title and her CGC. It's a wonder
though. She heels jumping up and down, but never leaving position. She
barrels down the mat on the recall towards me like a torpedo. I
honestly think one time I closed my eyes out of fear she was going to
knock me down. What a hoot! You have to love Kelley.
She does
have one major draw back. Kelley is scared to death of thunder.
Thankfully, Kelley has learned to get in the main bath's tub to hide
from the claps of thunder. We close the door for her and turn on the
fan to drowned out the sound. We have found her curled up in the
bathroom sink. Poor Kelley!
Kelley
has natural ability in herding, but due to a lack of sheep to train on
and also having to deal with atypical seizures she doesn't herd.
Kelley's seizures are controlled by feeding her 3x's a day. I learned
that from a young Vet research student online who told me to give the
new feeding schedule a try and it worked!
