December 28

We tracked back at the field by the Battlefield Green subdivision/Community Center and Valero on 360.  It was 52°F and wind was 10-15 mph north and we were going west down the tracks so wind was blowing Cheeky to the right a couple times.  Otherwise she stayed right on her tracks. I laid her track in a different part of the field and going in the opposite direction from where we usually go and that was good practice for her because she tried to pull me towards where we normally track until she picked up on the track in front of us.  I practiced keeping pressure on the line and she kept her nose down the entire time.  The first article was the only one she seemed to spot and run to from a few feet away.  She had to work to find the other two articles.  Today's tracks were 60/70/80 scuff steps with food drops every 3 steps.
