How to keep a young BC busy

The weather has been SO COLD that you run out of ideas on how to keep an active young dog busy and TIRED!!! I swear Seeker is part Eskimo, how else would he be able to actually pant while running in sub-zero weather? Yesterday was a rather nice day in the upper 20's, so we took advantage of the nice temps and the big piles of snow to create our own "border collie" exercising device!

At one point Cougar was on top of the "mountain" but soon learned it wasn't the BEST place to be. By the time I grabbed the "flip" Seeker had made a lot of trips over the top, you can see his path. He had a great deal of fun. GO FIGURE!



Another soon to become an Olympic Sport is "Cat Cutting". Unfortunately as soon as you grab the "flip" the cat, AKA "Cougar" isn't all that willing to show his moves.
TYPICAL CAT!!




Seeker will chase Cougar, then Cougar chases Seeker, it's rather cute. At least Seeker isn't as afraid of Cougar as he once was. How embarrassing is that! However Cougar still hangs out around one of the jumps while working agility in the building and Seeker will still avoid that jump. I guess that means Cougar still wins.

Cougar likes to be the center of attention and will follow you ANYWHERE!! Often we rescue him and carry him through the deeper snow. Cougar just loves to be carried and has the loudest purr I think I've ever heard. In fact when Bill came out to help me with Adam in the road yesterday he had to pick up and carry Cougar as he was following him up the lane. That Cougar hates to miss out on anything!
