Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.

Use of tools???

Post by alspyce »

Lyric has been neglected the past few days, (due to a horse emergency--in the freezing rain all day, then horrid winds all night, NOT fun) so she has a new self-taught behavior.(Thankfully a cute one) She often manipulates things with her paws to get them where she wants them. She now uses her Goughnut to hold her Antler while she chews it.I thought it was by chance at first but no, she is doing it repeatedly, on purpose. Neglect = New Game.
