Poem
Search #4 of the session.
Similar to Shaman's Seacrh #2 from the other day with a twist.

Fun to see what odor does in specific locations and how we make our observations. Questions I had concerning Shaman's thought process and decision making were answered with Poem's searching.

Despite the wind and cold temperature, Vera and Shaman made it to the Valley Forge National Arch during this morning's walk.
I am sorry I picked a trial heavy weekend to host the short walk, but we had fun as a small group today.

I am sorry this video cut off at the third Hide. I came upon this cabin camp on another hike and thought it would be awesome for searching.

Third hide was on the threshold of the open cabin. I did not dare step inside as it was supposed to be locked.
Forth hide was on a second cabin's porch way behind us.

So much fun and Elite like.

I want to wish each of you Happy Holidays and the best the new year can offer.

We spend a lot of time sweating and freezing while sitting in parking lots, but we push through because our dogs love to work and the challenge for the day so much fun.

Find peace in the season

A whole bunch of people and dogs had a blast completing the 2024 AKC 5k Turkey Trot today! Congratulations to us all for being in better shape this year and for our dogs getting to hang out with their doggie friends.

We are loosely planning a shorter walk for the Christmas Holiday. Let me know of you are interested.

Poem and I did our near 5 mile hike on the trails of Promised Land State Park. We ended our afternoon with a few searches at the Ranger Station.
Enjoy!

Poem with a flock of bobbing confidence Geese and a Blue Heron. Very early morning Walk at a park in Medford NJ. I love hanging tongues and glazed over eyes.

I look ridiculously cute in my candy corn bandana.

This was the second of two sidewalk searches for Poem. I did not change out the Hide, so I believe her confusion was she had already found that one. Still, an awesome job following the air current along the wall.
