Pozy Clarkia had a big day yesterday.
The first item on the agenda was Tracking. Under normal circumstances I would await winter before starting a new puppy because our usual tracking fields tend to be dry and dusty during the summer. These are not, however, normal circumstances.
The pandemic has changed so many things and the usual schedule for dog events is pretty well blown up — like most everything else. Therefore, I am starting Pozy in urban tracking. A good way to explain what that means is to identify that tests often happen at universities or public parks so think grass and other cover, including parking lots and pathways.
This is not new for me — Asia was skilled at this kind of tracking, which is why and how she earned her Tracking Dog Champion title — but it is new for Pozy. We started yesterday at the University of Montana — just a short straight track; this is a video showing pieces of it.
She did a super job and it was fun — and we all need to find ways to put fun in our lives these days.
After tracking, we walked around and stopped to check in on my office before heading over to visit some friends…
This Pozy Clarkia is one very special puppy.
I hope your day is fun and special — like Pozy.
