Heddy Gets a Tunnel

When my husband heard that one of the things Heddy was going to try to do at her first show was Earth Dog he was concerned that she might not be able to go through a 9” opening or that she would be afraid of it since she had never tried it before.

I personally think it was just an excuse to use power tools and build something new.

But for what ever the reason Heddy now has her very own practice Earth Dog Tunnel and to say the very least she LOVES it.

She supervised the building of it. Having never seen a drill before she thought her nose really belonged where ever you were trying to work .

 

But at last we were done and ready to see what she would do with it. We had built it in six foot sections for storage and ease of moving it around.

So I tossed a Liver treat into and Heddy never hesitated even a little she was after the liver and out looking for more.

After a few runs with the liver she diced this was great fun and likes to hide from us inside her tunnel. And not only can she fit easily inside the 9 inch opening but she often turn around inside and come out the same way she went in.

      

Now I guess we WILL wait to see what she thinks of a tunnel with a RAT at the other end. I do not need a PET RAT to take care of.

I hate that tail.  Funny that Mice do not bother me.

Oh well she can wait to met Mr. Rat in North Carolina!
