How To Get Two For The Price of One


Take a perfectly good agility tunnel.   Add a Border Collie (see illustration above for appropriate model.)
Now mix the two together at warp speed - or something that feels very much like that when you are trying to get into position for a front cross anyway.

Goodbye stitching !   Hello daylight !

Now take hold of each end and apply a little pressure (thankfully I now have two arms that work again so I can actually do this bit)  and  ............. tah dah !......... you  have 2 tunnels, or at least you will have after a bit of renovation involving some sharp scissors and a pair of wire cutters.


That sure was fun, can we do it again ?  Can we ?  Can we ?
To be fair, the tunnel(s) in question has been sitting outside for the past seven years so I can't really blame the Border Collie, however I'm sure she played at least some part in helping it on its way. 
The kelpies are totally miffed with her as they know that the tunnel is the best hiding place for those days when you don't feel like bringing the toy back and will be lost without it.

I always did mean to pack that tunnel up and put it away but somehow or other I never ever got around to it.  Seven years though?  That works out at around $30 a year for loads of tunnel fun - quite a bargain when you look at it that way and Ivy is dog number 5 to enjoy it.
Oh well, looks like another belated Christmas present is on the cards in our household.
