Road gear!

And there are even more activities!

Throughout history dogs were bred for very specific jobs - including sledding, carting, weight pulling and more.

In modern times, these jobs have become sports. Dogs doing their jobs are much happier dogs!

Neat lens!! We are getting a puppy sometime in the spring here, and this was a wonderful list of things to do to keep it busy!

Woof woof! I have always been fascinated with people who do agility challenges with their dogs. I got my little shelter dog at around 4 years old so it was kind of an uphill challenge with her to get her house trained even. This lens makes me want to teach her a few more tricks! I thank you for that inspiration and I think my little Maxwell does too! Angel blessed.

Having fun with your dog is what it's all about, even if it is something as simple as taking a walk in the country together.
