happy is my special girl, loves the critters as much as i do, and as she gains her confidance back is becoming a fantastik flyball dog, last clocking at 4.1 seconds making her the fastest in our club, beating her older brother my only 1 tenth of a second! Ripley is the sweetist and cutest dog in the world! we always joke that if Ripley robbed a bank or bite someone, everyone would say"awww, isnt that cute!" he is a little "slow" but very reliable. shadow is a darling queen, her favorite place is outside relaxing the sun, or the shade. she is the dog I feel safe with, if shadow does not bark at something all th eothers are barking at, I know that the others are just being stupid! shadow is the only dog I take seriusly about anything, she is the one that does not always "cry wolf" so to speak and perky, is a rescue that went through several homes before finding us, she had run away from all her former homes, she has been locked outside th eyard befor here, by my apperently "blind" dad, she does not go anywhere, she sits in the driveway and waits. she is also a freestyle dog! she loves to dance and just be clowny! and misty is a bright little girl, she is 6 months old and I can control her with my voice, she will come to me from anywhere in the house, she will lie down and sit instently when asked, she can walk nice on a leash and has the most amazing focas! and last night she did recalls over all 4 jumps at flyball practice! she has never done jumps befor but she is so focased that she goes in a line over the jumps, never once went around! that is rare, it takes most dogs a long time to learn to go over th ejumps not around in a recall! even the most experienced dogs still go around sometimes!
