Joy was the next to join the pack.  She's learning obedience and agility and having fun but missed her favorite toy, Brooks,  until her cousin Luna and sister Mini joined her.   Joy is tiny but bright and sharp and already showing that TT ability to improvise on training exercises. 

She grudgingly agreed to do some Rally Obedience after much eye-rolling on her part and finished her Rally Excellent title.  Joy has made it clear she’s sticking to agility now and is content with that.  She had a back injury which is now a chronic problem and has slowed her down a bit, but she was able to finish her CPE championship and continues to compete at lower jump heights and less frequently.  However, she gets very upset if she thinks she’s being left out of things and often just comes along for the ride when Mini is competing. 

Joy likes to  play hard with her friends and really enjoys running fast and playing tug but is willing to cuddle when things get quiet or just to show everyone else she can.  She’s also developed a love-hate relationship with the cat next door.  Joy loves to chase the cat and hates it when the cat perches just out of reach on the shed roof.
