Default Birch the wild one

There are some days Birch reminds me of a border collie. The last few days have been especially high energry. Granted he was on house arrest for 7 days after being neutered and we have been in the deep freeze with constant below zero weather so his spring is wound really tight.

This morning ,he lets himself out of his crate, zooms onto the bed, across the room ,spins ,runs back grabs my shirt from my hand, shakes it to death before I tell him thank you and then proceeds do his best BC impersonation complete with head checks, butt creeps, circles around my body, low couches into herding position. Basicly if you have seen a BC getting ready to run agility, thats him.

We are going to agility tonight should be fun and he should be over the moon with excitement. Love him but man does he make me tired somedays.

Frisbee is your friend Sca was a madman after all the rain we had and me being sick. Of course he is older so once he gets his fix he calms down some. Now Spitfire he is either on or off with not a lot in between. He thought Birch was a LOT of fun at the get together (not sure Birch even noticed him)

We usually do firisbee thing but with -6F weather and ice outside it is hard to get the running in he needs. Plus he is just 12 days out from the neuter so he is barely well healed. All the dogs are getting cabin fever but Birch is hardest hit. Thinking somebody needs to learn the treadmill.
