Crazy Legs Hirsch

As a child I played tag with my collies, Sterling and Lassie; then later with Lassie and Magic Momo. To play tag you separate from your dog and then try to run past her, dodging her as best you can. If she jumps on you and "tags you," then you lost the game. Be careful when doing this that you don't run into her because she could be injured if you are not careful.

Playing tag helped me be become a star football player in grade school. I had crazy legs, like Crazy Legs Hirsch.

Today this play helps keep me young and helps Momo get great exercise to keep her in shape for Dog Agility Trials. It also keeps me in shape because I need to run in dog agility, too. I discuss this in my Kindle book Dog Agility Escapades with Magic Momo.  <=click 😁
