Blizzard of 2010 – Border collie mania continued

February 15th, 2010 Averill 1 comment

Nothing ever changes for our Border collies. Jolt wants his frisbee, Jig has his ball, and Cash and Patch just herd Jig and Jolt. Zip is somewhere else, probably on Averill's skis, looking up at her; and Grace E is certainly standing near, barking at Karen. The unseen Aussie, Genie, is definitely up to no good.

Luna on the road

I sent Luna on her way today. She rallied on the prednisone for a few days and then returned to her enfeebled condition, struggling to breathe, acting out of it, uninterested in food. We will miss her.

Luna was very enthusiastic about her new job herding sheep.

Luna learning about sheep

Luna was a powerful agility dog, but very sensitive to changes. I was a very novice handler and had no understanding of her issues - and no idea what to do with her. So she retired.

Lovely Luna. She was an honest working dog and gave me all she could.

Farewell, sweet girl. Enjoy your sheep and groundhogs and freedom over there.
