A fellow about 300 yards away is shoveling snow off his driveway.
Fidget takes that kind of transgression pretty personally.

A sorry excuse for his favorite orange Lacrosse Balls, I'm sure.

You can make this inexpensive Lego Technic Fidget Spinner, using the Lego Digital Designer (LDD) .lxf Building Instructions file and Parts List available on Rebrickable.com: rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-8198/DLuders/fidget-spinner/ . You hold the central Lego Technic Gears between your fingers and flick the outer wheels to create a fast-moving spinner. Or, you can pinch an outer wheel and hurl the assembly around inside your palm. The wheels and tires add heft to the spinner so that it has momentum. Try your own designs!
Plants: Timothy, rye and orchard grass, ragweed, lambs quarters, cocklebur, maple, tumbleweed and sycamore.
Fungi, pests and commensals: Aspergillus, Alternaria, Semphylium, Phoma, Saccharomyces, Mallassezia, housedust mites and human dander.
Food: Chicken and turkey meat, milk, oats, corn, eggs, peanut, kelp, and houseflies, (Fidget regards houseflies as a food rather than a pest.)
But not feathers, thankfully. We are doing some re-engineering to keep her away from eggs and chicken feed.
We'll start Fidget's injections as soon as they get here. She has been really miserable this summer.
Rabbit is happier and more settled now that Fidget is in the house. She doesn't break into spasms of grief when someone leaves the building. The two of them lounge around together genially.
Mouse seems content to govern the pasture alone. She and Fidget aren't fighting when she comes down to the house, though they mount each other intermittently. (Mouse is in heat and will be spayed in a couple of weeks.)
After Mouse has been down at the house for an hour or so, she sits by the gate and asks to be taken back to her pasture. I was surprised the first time that she did that, but after all, Pyrs were bred to live a life that humans would describe as "solitary". Probably Pyrs aren't "alone" if they have their flock.
Our fancy primate brains have decided that they're still going to get Mouse a pup after she has recovered from being spayed. But that may just be a projection of hominid desires onto a canid species.
Mouse may very well be saying * PLEASE * DON'T * GET * ME * A * PUPPY *.
But of course, we know what's best for her. :)
We have so much control over dogs' lives that I hope we do know what's best for them. The most common understanding of human-dog relationships can be summarized as follows: "People think dogs are people, and dogs think people are dogs." It's an imperfect theory, but it explains a lot, and one of the reasons that we bother with theories is that they have explanatory power.
Coming at the problem from another direction, Konrad Lorenz -- a brilliant ethologist, and perhaps not incidentally, a bit of a Nazi in his younger days -- convinced many of us to think of dogs as pack-oriented wolflets who inhabit a genetically determined landscape of dominance and submission. Genetic determinism (sociobiology) is a first-rate tool for studying ants, but it breaks down in ludicrous ways when applied to organisms that are as complex and individuated as dogs.
Besides, there is little resemblance between wolf and dog packs. Wolf packs are families with a straightforward breeding structure. Most or all of a pack's members are relatively recent descendants of a single breeding pair.
On the other hand, dog packs, whether made up of strays or ferals, are pick-up gangs of relatively distantly related individuals. Each pack has a more or less random genetic structure, except of course that they're all dogs. It's not too surprising that wolf-pack behavior is amenable to study in terms of social genetics, but maybe it's a mistake to apply wolfish conclusions to packs that lack a coherent genetic structure. Maybe the pack-mentality trainers get their results for reasons entirely unrelated to their theoretical model.
Further, analyzing dogs in terms of pack dynamics leads us to overemphasize dominance and submission at the expense of a rich panoply of sensory and investigatory behaviors. (After all, dogs spend a vanishingly tiny fraction of their time working out dominance relationships by comparison to the time spent wandering, watching, exploring, sniffing, licking, rolling and mooching.)
So I have been thinking that the pack model of dog behavior offers relatively little in the way of explanatory power, and that it leads us to behave strangely and ineffectually toward our doggie friends.
(A lot of this comes straight out of Alexandra Horowitz's Inside of a Dog, a book-length treatment of canine perception and cognition. Recommended.)

That's Fidget's and Mouse's view, anyway. They got their zoomies on out in the snow yesterday.
We're glad to see it, too. The snow is good for the pastures and it's pretty, of course.
It's going to be 48F (9C) tomorrow.
This is one weird winter we're having. We usually have consistent snowpack from early December through February, and most of this will be gone in two days.
When it comes to magnets, fidget is usually a bad word. It's usually what the unfamiliar novices think magnets are for, when really using magnets requires focus, precision, and geometric awareness.
With that said, here's a preview of 3 of the fidget shapes that will be in an upcoming video about fidget shapes.
A Magic Folding “Fidget” cube with the design of a micro scale space vehicle in a Classic Space grey/trans-green colour scheme.
The “vehicle mode”: A planetary hovering vehicle with a big cockpit, some windows, lights and greebles.
Design: Me
Made with 3 dollar bills.
This idea came a bit late as gifts for my step kids Max and Phannie who collected fidget spinners for a while, this one seems to be the last to their collection. The video was made over Thanksgiving dinner.
For some reason I can not get the high resolution to play in Flickr.
Easy to fold. I had to use a wire and bearings from a fidget spinner, but the folds hold well and glue or tape was not use.
