I’m Learning Flyball!

Today I went with the Mum, Chase, Muffit and Angel to flyball practice. Angel got to come ’cause the Mum says she doesn’t get to go out much and she really likes to come and say hi to people and eat treats. And Chase’s tooth is better so he got to play tug. And Muffit got to go to and the Mum thinks he is doing better with all the distractions!

And so lookit what I got to do! Finally the dumb Mum remembered to ask Aunt Christy to take pictures of me as I’m learning the jumps and aren’t I cute! And I’m fast too!

This first jump is Aunt Laurie holding onto me so I can run over all the jumps!

Getting Ready to Jump!

Then when I see the Mum call me from the other side of the jumps, and then the Mum runs off and I just have to chase her! And I go over all four jumps and it’s fun! The Mum wasn’t running at first and that was kinda boring so I’d go run off by myself but then when the Mum started to run, I ran too!

Zoom Zoom!
Here I Go!

Lookit me go! It’s super fun to learn to go over jumps! The Mum says I am a really fast collie girl when I want to be. And yup that’s true, it’s when I want to be! I like to do things my own way and then it’s fun!

Tatum Jumping!

Woo Hoo!

And aren’t I just the cutest collie you’ve ever seen doing flyball jumps! The jumps don’t have any ball lock pins, they are just wood aren’t they neato?

Treat Reward

A Treat For Reward!

And then at the end of the jumps the Mum gives me yummy treats! They are super good to eat and so I stop and eat them right up!

So I get to do flyball more in a couple of weeks! I hope the Mum starts to teach me how to do the box… she says the prop thingy she had isn’t tall enough and I just walk over it, I don’t jump. So if she’d ever remember to have the Dad make a taller one, then we could learn more!

I like flyball and learning. Though I like to do it how I want to. But the Mum says if we are going to compete then I have to learn her rules.  Well, I guess I’ll do that too then!  Flyball is fun!

    Wow! You are an amazing jumper! I can’t do that kind of thing because I have a crooked leg. I saw an amish buggy going along the road when I was younger and I just had to stop that horse! Unfortunately, a wheel found my leg first. But, my new humans have taken care of me and I am still as cute as Lassie (so my mom says). :)
