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.

Cold this morning (39 degrees brrr). Warmed up, sunny and perfect agility day. Small entry (400-some runs today and tomorrow). Lois Marks is the Masters judge, Laura Miller S/A. Actually good, fun, challenging courses all ’round. Ken ran Jolt, went 1st with a Q in Jumpers. Otherwise they had blips and blops.
Jig was awesome. He ran Masters Gamblers (his first masters run) and didn’t make the gamble, but he did fine and worked with me to the best of his abilities throughout. Same for his Advanced Standard and Advanced Jumpers classes. He was first dog running in his jump height in both of those classes, which is a terrific situation for him, since it gives me time to collect him from the dog that just ran. No Qs in anything, but a nicely working, cooperative dog who was just a touch OVER THE TOP! but good.
Genie was wonderful. She ran jumpers this morning, was fast and eager – especially for tunnels, which she did a few extra of. 
She then nailed standard (her lifetime first standard run). It started with jump – chute – weaves. She came flying out of the chute and landed sort of in the middle of the weaves. Starters, so no problem. Called her back, set her up and weave-queen she was! Took first in that class with a Q. Read more…
