Every now and then I stop and reflect on how un-terrier-ish Epic is. He behaves well at the park, he likes to lay around and nap, and he's pretty darn snuggly. In many other ways he's ALL Jack. He gets too wound up when he plays, he gets pushy with the other dogs when it comes to treats, and he gets into EVERYTHING.
.
The other day, Epic showed off his terrier prowess, and found himself a hole. I'm not going to tell him that it wasn't an actual hole. In truth, Epic found a clump of foliage that he pretended was a hole and proceeded to dig his way in. I ended up having to grab the fiesty little guy by the tail to drag him out. His face was covered in dirt, and he was very VERY proud of himself.
.
I wish there were more Go-to-Ground opportunities around here. It's not a very active sport in this area anymore. I think Epic might be fantastic at it. He's certainly tenacious, and he's certainly brave... although he appears to have trouble seeing in low light conditions. That would certainly hinder things.
