We were so blessed — the high today is near 50 degrees. So, though the morning was pretty nippy, most of our time in the fields was very pleasant. We had morning coffee, plotted six tracks, and then gorged on pizza. I took Holmes along. He was treated to some food he shouldn’t have — like cranberry muffins. Since it was all part of a great day for him, I’m letting it slide. He was hugged and scratched, and petted, and talked to — he loved it.
I see a lot of his dad in this photo (thanks to Janelle for taking it)
It’s obvious why the tracking crew gave him treats
This is where we were — doesn’t matter how often I go to our tracking area, I still drink in the beauty.
Early in the morning — crags against the cloudy sky

Begin at the white stake — look for glove (in 420 yards)
Holmes is looking a lot like Daddy. Only with BIGGER ears! Very cute.
And thanks for the high desert scenery. Scenery sans fog.
I haven’t tried tracking yet (hopefully someday!), but that sure looks like a great place to do it! Really neat scenery!
Hmmm….will it be a help or hinderance to try tracking with a sighthound? I wonder if he might just try LOOKING for something that doesn’t fit into the landscape?
There are sight hounds out there with Tracking titles. You have to teach them the new game which is “finding evidence” by following the scent rather than looking around for Waldo. Creel will be able to do it!
