Moby wore his saddle bags today. They have lead weights in them, but even after more than an hour in the newly arrived (and enthusiastically welcomed!) warm sun, he was still full of energy. The weight helps him to use his energy (I already reflected on how important that is), and satisfies his instinct to be useful. With shepherds (and shep mixes), work and structure are extremely important to their health and mental well being, and even the way they play is a manifestation of said instinct.
