It’s hodge podge Friday time! Our week was a real mix of different things which is why we decided to make a mixed post for today. Being out in the leaves running around is definitely a big part of our week. All three of us spent plenty of time in the leaves.
Bailie took it easy and enjoyed some leaf sniffing in the sunshine.
Olivia likes to run just like I do. The first part of the week was super nice to be outside in the yard playing around.
Our food supply was getting low, so Mom ordered up four hundred pounds of food. Since it is an hour drive each way, usually one of us rides along to keep Mom company and to supervise the food. Olivia had the honors this week. When Mom had only two of the trays loaded, Olivia started to get hungry.
Mom loaded up the six blue trays next and a couple tubes of tripe and that was it. Olivia still was watching but trying not to be seen. At home, Mom had to pack it all up and get it into our freezers on her own as we were busy in the yard.
Earlier in the week we did some barn hunt practice. Olivia and I had an hour on Saturday and another hour Tuesday. We are hoping to train once a week or so for the coming weeks so we can enter the next trial and maybe get our Senior Titles wrapped up. I was sniffing out a rat in this photo.
“Mom, stop taking photos and pay me for finding this rat!” She seems to have missed the sense of urgency on this one. Note the straw likes to get stuck in our furs.
Olivia too was sniffing a rat. Rewarding a dog in the ring is not allowed in barn hunt which is our problem. Mom is trying to teach us to find the four rats without being rewarded until we leave the ring. Whether we decide to do that or not is yet to be seen but we are practicing it.
Oh look! Olivia found a rat too! Hopefully we can grasp the concept Mom is trying to teach us and then we could finish up our barn hunt titles in January.
I’m joining my friends at Living Laughing and Barking in Our Backyard for their Nature Friday blog hop.
