Back After a Long Break

Scout is back in business

After a long break from COVID we are all celebrating, with some hesitation, a return to near normalcy. Scout's 2-year certification ran out and he developed a supraspinatus tendonopathy that caused him to limp after strenuous exercise. He endured months of walking (only) on a leash and being trapped in his crate for lengthy periods. He recovered and we tested for mission readiness. Scout did a great job, finding a hidden subject in 80 acres of rough terrain. The wind was poor and for the first hour didn't do much. We were two hours into the search when Scout suddenly took off, ran out of sight, then returned to signal me with a spin that he found the subject. Thus, Scout is "back in the saddle." Meanwhile I took a trip to Namibia. Check out my images. So Long, Sandra
