Last week we had most of our winter wood delivered. It is still in a large pile where it was dumped inside the fenced in area that was our horses' enclosure. We didn't want the dogs "playing" around it, as it is unstable.
However....I've been thinking about it and decided to see if Blast would think he was tough enough to climb up for a toy. Figured, if I saw any problem, would immediately remove him.
The favorite pull toy was in the top area. Blast ran around it twice first, looking for the best way up. He tried a couple of places and a few logs moved, so he moved on until he found the "best" place. Up he went. He dislodged a couple on his way, but had a firm grip. No problem.
There it is! It had become somewhat stuck up there and he had to pull it a few times to dislodge it while balancing on a few logs.
Pulled it out and then picked his way carefull down...very thoughtful and careful.
Wasn't sure about trying Kira, but really wanted to see how tenacious she would be, or if she was too worried to go up. Ha. ha. ha. She scrambled up so quickly I was telling her to slow down. Sending logs flying behind her, she wasn't concerned.
So we tried it from a couple of other places, she was up in a flash, even taking leap up on her last one, when I decided to stop. I certainly didn't want her hurt in a 'slide' and she had just become a little too exuberant.
This was her last one up, she was pulling the toy out from between a couple of logs on top.
This time I clearly told her to be careful, she was coming down a different side, and actually was picking her way carefully. I expected Blast would be keen, but wasn't so sure about Kira. If anything, she was even more tenacious than Blast was!
