    Our Agility in a Bag isn’t just for dogs, I guess! The goat here is happily doing agility, certain of its’ treat. I had goats for a while, and I’m pretty sure my girls would have done this if I asked them. Goats have roughly the same intelligence as a dog, and they show it in mischief! Goats are legendary for escape artistry and sampling foods they shouldn’t. Goats are naturally extremely agile, and aren’t above using that in their escape plans. (This video made me miss my goats awfully!)  Happy April Fools!

    I loved watching ‘Babe’.  Sure, it’s a children’s movie, but it was a fun, sweet story, with fantastic border collies!

    With a bird like this in your yard, who needs a furminator?  What a warm fluffy nest they’ll have.

    I was lucky enough to be able to test a dog IQ game- I chose the Dog Brick, and I took it home.

    Wow, I really can’t believe how much fun it was! Quick and Nova both loved it. Nova became obsessed. Have you ever seen a hard-core person playing bingo or any kind of gambling game? Where they’re stamping all the dots very very quickly,  intense concentration on their face? So focused you could set off an alarm and they would keep playing? Nova was just like that with this game! She absolutely loved it, and begged for more when I put it away! I laughed so hard as she snuffled and pawed at the board.  She’s really very cute!  She got the concept right away.

    Quick was a little more difficult, but he enjoyed it too! I had to make sure he found at least one treat very quickly, or he got frustrated. However, I intend to slowly work up his endurance with this toy. It’s low-key to play with- lots of fun, quite easy if you want it to be- so that’s good. I plan to slowly lower the reward rate so he has to work harder for his treats. I think that’s a good thing, because he really needs to learn that it is okay to not get the treat within a few minutes.

    I haven’t had this much fun with my dogs since Quick was introduced to his first tunnel. Nova, Quick, and I had a real blast with these toys, and I hope you try them out for your dogs- let us know if they’re as much fun for you as they were for us!
