December 21

Thank goodness it’s the shortest day of the year and they will start getting longer from here on out.  I only took Cheeky out today because I knew it was going to get dark before we got done if I brought Fanny or Sizzle.  It was 39° but felt like 36° and 4:40 pm when I laid her tracks between the Battlefield Green community center and shops on 360 by the Valero.  I laid three tracks 30/40/50 scuff steps with food every two steps.  Cheeky did a fantastic job using her nose tonight and laid down super fast when she got to the gloves.  She loves this!  She got distracted a couple times by the traffic noise on 360, but got right back to work.

December 5: Cheeky's third time tracking

It was sunny and 51°F.  We went to a small field near 360 by a small shopping center and a Valero near the front of our subdivision. Cheeky was excited to track and get the hotdogs, but she noticed the traffic about halfway down the second track and got nervous.  I did ask her to lay down to get the hotdogs and she did that.  She gets the tracking for hotdogs, but I don't think she's quite figured out that the article is what she's looking for. Here's a photo of the three tracks and a panoramic photo of the area.

Cheeky, Sizzle and Fanny did 50 scuff steps (with food every two steps) tracks near the Community Center and Valero by 360 today.  Cheeky ate more of the food without a flag in front of her and mostly kept her nose to the ground. 

December 7: small field beside road and playground

 We went tracking today in the drizzly weather.  It was warm and not windy.  We were near the main road on my subdivision that has an occasional car pass by but no one was at the playground.  Cheeky was nervous but she tracked well for the first half of the track.  Then she got distracted and seemed to move down the stack with tracking or eating the hot dogs.  She seems to ignore the glove initially until she knows it’s what I want her to pay attention to.  She laid down in front of the glove and ate all her cookies.  Then gave her more cookies on the glove and threw some for her similar to what I’m doing with Fanny since she seemed nervous.
