No one told me GPs like to play with balls!
Now before anyone gets into "LGDs are guard dogs, not 'go fetch' dogs", I did NOT buy him a ball and try to get him to play with me.
He chose to stay out in the snow this morning while I was working in the barn. I looked out the window and he was lying (sorry, alertly guarding) in the snow just behind the barn. The next time I looked out to see if he was still there I saw him digging in the alpacas' poop pile. OK, kinda gross. Then he reached down into it and pulled out a ball of frozen alpaca poop. OK, REALLY gross. He proceeded to throw it and then pounced on it. I didn't watch to see if he was going to eat it He's getting as much food as he wants (the same kind he was eating at @purplequeenvt's) so I assume he wasn't looking for "nutrition".
Anyone else's GPs, or LGDs in general, play poopcicleball??
