Crazy Labs

Oftentimes when I run the dogs with the four wheeler they'll grab a stick and run together with it like a team of horses.  Side by side, full-tilt with neither relinquishing control of the stick.  They are crazy dogs.

On rare occasions I've managed to stop and after fishing-out my smart phone take some video of this behavior while navigating the trails one-handed.  More often than not it is precisely at this moment that the dogs stop, drop the stick and look at me for direction.

Today they ran with their stick side by side for almost a half mile before giving-up on the game.  Fortunately one of the trail cameras caught an action shot...
