Penny is worn out from the ORT yesterday. I was a one of the nonbelievers who didn’t think that she would settle down enough to search. Penny acted like she was running Fast Cat but with numerous restarts, she pulled it off.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our ORT today at One Smart Dog. We had perfect weather, the best volunteers around, and handlers who were always ready for their turn. Everything ran so smoothly that we were done by noon. Robin Ford, our CO, had the room set up quickly which definitely helped the flow. Our judge, Brian Jordan, enjoyed seeing all of the dogs and their searches. I know that everyone was excited each time that he said YES!

Great searching everyone!
