Gardening with a Vlcak...

<Very Big Grin> Yes, Luna loves to "garden!" When we go to the local dog park (I only go when there is no one else there, as I do not trust dogs I do not know) or my friend's place (she has a gorgeous property), Luna loves to find a place where she can dig through the sandy soil to the lower, damper, cooler levels. Then she curls her body into it, with a grin on her face, tongue lolling out the side.
I think, when I have the space, I will make a vlcak garden. A sectioned-off area with sand to dig in, a pool and a wood structure they can climb on top off or burrow underneath. Oh, and some "flirt" toys that dangle around, just waiting to be tugged on.
I know a lot of wolf hybrid folks make that sort of an enrichment area, but it would have to be used only when I am out in the yard, too - my vlcaks DO NOT like to be outside by themselves. They always want to be with us.
