In the forests of northern Mongolia, a young woman from the Tsaatan tribe rides a reindeer across rocky terrain, continuing a way of life passed down through generations.

The Tsaatan people are among the last remaining reindeer herders on Earth, relying on the animals for transport, food, clothing, and cultural identity.

Reindeer are treated not as livestock, but as companions within a deeply interwoven human–animal relationship.

Modern pressures such as climate change, tourism, and economic displacement increasingly threaten this fragile balance.

The urgency surrounding their survival is profound. With only a few hundred Tsaatan remaining, the loss of reindeer herding would mean more than cultural change—it would mark the disappearance of an entire worldview shaped by cooperation with nature. Preserving their way of life represents a broader struggle to protect living traditions before they vanish under the weight of modern expansion.

Scientists now see outdoor cats as one of the world’s biggest wildlife threats.

In the U.S. alone, free-ranging cats kill an estimated 1–4 billion birds and 6–22 billion mammals each year — far more than collisions with windows or cars.

Globally, cats have caused or contributed to over 60 extinctions, especially on islands. Conservation experts now call them an invasive predator and urge people to keep cats indoors and manage feral populations — to protect both wildlife and the cats themselves.

Energy to burn? 🔥
Time to think outside the box.
Actually, it's time to think about them!

Dig in your cardboard recycling for some dog safe items for you to hide some special little morsels.
The trick with this?
There is a sweet spot.
Not too hard for them so they just "give up".
Not too easy either or we can miss giving them true enrichment.

Many dogs that are just starting with these enrichment activities do need encouragement from us at first, but then we need to grab a coffee, sit down and watch them figure it out.
Let them just go for it.
That's half the fun for them and for you !

That rolled up towel can get boring too!
Do it lengthwise and then add a loose knot. Too easy still? Put that towel in a box, or let them smell around the whole house and find where you have "hidden it".
Do a "double burrito" where a smaller rolled up towel is tied up in a larger one.

Set up an obstacle course with appropriate and safe "jumps" to go over and then think about using a kitchen chair on its side so your dog can safely crawl under the gap too.

Variety is key here and if you have a few dog puzzles, kongs or lick mats lying around, hide them and make them a challenge to even get to.

What have you always wanted to try with them?
Maybe a full circle "roll over"?
Maybe targeting an object or even beginning scent work?

Keep these ideas up your sleeve for those rainy days, well worth remembering.
