Callie started flyball training once she was a year old since she had a lot of energy that I didn't quite know what to do with. She liked flyball a lot since it involved her favorite toy, that magical mesmerizing yellow orb, or the tennis ball. Before we knew it Callie and I were running in our first flyball tournament! She has since started agility training and is now competing in agility trials as well.
Besides the tennis ball, Callie's favorite toys are her siblings Milo, Hawkeye, Duncan and Ivy, squeaky toys, floppy frisbees, and tug toys. She really loves Groovy Dog cookies and rawhide chips, especially if she can steal them from her siblings. Her favorite passtimes are agility, chasing squirrels, barking at falling leaves and unknown people, herding her siblings after "potty outside", being a spoiled princess, and of course, running flyball.
As for her resemblance to Lassie,
Callie hates to be thought of as a diminuitive version of the famous television
collie. In her words, "That Lassie was lucky to have a stupid kid
like Timmy to keep falling in wells for her. All those rescues were not
heroic, they were just because that kid was such an idiot. Lucky for Lassie
that kid was so dumb, or she would have never got that TV show. Don't
ever call me Little Lassie, that's one girl who never had to struggle
on the streets, much less have an independent thought. And they call me
a be-yotch! Oh, and did you know Lassie is actually a DUDE?"
