Congratulations to Lawrence and his boys on a really great Scentwork weekend. The dog with blue/gold ribbons is Wildflower Chase and the other dog is Major, his dad.
Major and Chase
Major is the father of both the Wildflowers and the Sparklers, and therefore he is also the maternal grandfather of the Bright Stars. He is nine and doing just fine ❤️
Congratulations are also in order for Bright Star Fauci who — with his capable teammate, Jack — is passing Novice Draft tests here and there and everywhere! Thanks to the team cheerleader, Maria, for keeping me in Fauci news 🙏🏽
Some dogs — like Fauci — take to draft work as if they were experts in a previous life. Fauci’s littermate, Zuber, is also such a dog — look at how comfortable he is pulling the cart…
Zuber and Alison
Other dogs are pretty convinced the cart is the worst idea EVER. Sparkler Kiri is such a dog…
Kiri and Alison
Her niece, Capella, 100% agrees with this assessment of draft and carts. Training Capella for a draft test is going to be interesting!
Meanwhile in Idaho, Bright Star Atlas is hard at work supervising his humans as THEY dig the holes. Well-played, Atlas…
Thanks to all for the news and pictures — I am grateful.
This video of Claire after a tracking session is for Carol…
And some of the cats want to get in on the action — Karma and Rosebud…
When I got this kitten and her brother, all they would do is hiss and hide.

Who knew you could train cats with string cheese?!
Have a wonderful Spring Day!
