Sky was Lisa's first Border Collie – a direct result of her new flyball addiction back in 2000. Sky is a bit of a freak but Lisa loves her anyway (so much, in fact, that she got 2 more BCs!). Sky loves herding other dogs and cats, camping out under the baby's highchair in case some food drops, and being the resident Fun Police. She is a very intense dog (you can almost see those blue eyes spinning in her head when she's on her way into the lanes to play flyball), but has a great Off switch at home. She was raised with 4 JRTs, and still can't understand why the back couch cushions can hold everyone else up but not her.

Sky is a very soft dog, the type that can be corrected with just a sideways look. But flyball does something to her...this sweet, submissive dog turns into a raving maniac who barks, quicks her nails to bloody nubs on the way into the lanes (she often has to be carried), and bites her teammates' hineys (dogs and humans) if they are too close during warmups.
