Friskies

Max & Zorro had a "case of the friskies" on the trails this morning. Silly Siberians :)

"Hey bro - wanna play 'tag & tackle'?!?" says Max & Zorro simultaneously to each other.

Anyone with a Siberian Husky knows what happens after two sibes exchange a look like the one shown in the prior photo.... Tag & Tackle!

"Coming in for the tag!" declares 'coming low' Zorro.
"Back at you with a tackle!" declares 'coming high' Max.

The "friskies" were out between these two most of the morning. Usually this means they are going to break out into a wrestlefest as we are sprinting along the trails. Amazingly, though, I was able to 'catch and correct' all imminent wrestlefests! Watch today's short video clip for an example of what I was seeing all day long... Partway along the fast terrain and I see unapproved glances starting so call out "Forward" to remind everyone what we are supposed to be doing. Then a "Hey, Hey" to keep everyone focused and finally a "Good" compliment once they abandon this attempted wrestlefest. It was all morning long - it's a wonder I didn't lose my voice :)

Of course, all sibes are proud of their frisky behaviors...

"What?!? We are having a great frisky day!" say my innocent & happy partners at our turnaround
point of the outing.
