January 4 Track: Thunder and Lightening

 We just barely got to run the track I laid for Sizzle before we had to get home out of the thunder and lightening so Cheeky and Fanny didn't get to track today.  I even left the flags and clip in the field to come back for them later.  The track was one leg of 70 scuff steps, a left turn and 40 scuff steps with food drops every three steps.  Sizzle was clearly unsure about the weather and was initially trying to stand by me and looked to me to quit.  She kept coming around behind me and putting her front feet on my back which she does sometimes to get my attention.  

I was patient and just waited for her to go back to work and she eventually did.  She found the glove and we quickly made it back to the van.  When I got in the van I pulled up a weather app called Carrot and this is what I saw.



I did record the track with my chest harness.  I was a little more talkative than I should be during a track.  Please ignore my commentary or I hope it at least gives you a laugh.  On top of the crazy weather when we went to run the track I realized that I had completely missed seeing that there was dog 💩 right next to my start flag. 🤣

December 11: Sizzle's second track

 Sizzle did a 50-scuff step track with food every two steps. Sizzle was onc again wagging and very happy the whole time and ate pretty much all the food on the track. She's very cute trying to keep her butt in the air but laid down to get her hot dogs out of the glove.

December 24

 We went to the fields near 360 and Valero outside our subdivision. I laid tracks for Cheeky and Sizzle 40/50/60 steps.  I noticed Sizzle starting to spot the article about 3-5 feet in front of her and running towards it the same way Cheeky does.  Sizzle's first track had food drops every two steps.  For the next two I did food drops every three steps and she had no issues with that.  She stayed right on her tracks and did a great job as usual.

December 16: Sizzle's third track

Sizzle’s 80 scuff step track was a bit too much for her but she got to work and found her glove. She’s still very good and eating most of the treats and using her nose but since this was only her third time tracking I need to go back to 15,20,25 with her for a week or so.
