Kong Kong Kong Kong KONG!

LeeLoo has a red Kong ball that we gave her earlier this week. She enjoys it for hours on end. BUT all she does is noses it around the room, leaving slobber trails everywhere! She does not chomp down on it, throw it, or bit it. If anything, she brings it to a spot she likes, flops down and licks the tar out of it. She's even dropped it in her water dish to soften the cookies.

We asked her vet about her actions, and she believes Loo is herding the ball! Has anyone else experienced anything like this with your corgi? I will try to attach an action shot when I get one!

Comment by Stephanie Starkey on January 28, 2011 at 11:57am: We thought she was 'challenged!' But herding makes total sense. We don't have kids or any other pets, so she's needing to get this instinct out somehow! It's a good in-house dog walker and we always know where she's at by the sound of the cookies rolling around.
