Oh boy...do we ever. I've watched Dagur pull and tug at the chain on the pasture gate until he opened it and let everyone out. When we latch gates now, we have to be careful which way we leave the chain laying or he'll try it again. Mind you, lately he's been jumping into a paddock that we have closed off....so that's kept him busy. When Kevin goes out to feed in the morning he usually finds Dagur in there, so he just calls him, and Dagur happily jumps back and goes for breakfast. As for the sniffing, Dagur is like that too. I had the farrier out last night, and while she was trimming Dagur, he was carefully sniffing my ears. I'm not sure what that was all about, but it kept him occupied for ages. Wanda
