A bit of a week for the humans

Kaz ended up in hospital on Monday with her funny skin lumps and ended up bring quite ill. At the same time grandpa ended up in hospital with heart problems so everyone was running around looking after them both. Well today is Sunday and I can report that they are both out of hospital and on the mend now - hooray!! Don't tell Kaz but we were all a bit worried. She had some lovely flowers from work and some too from Daryl.

So this weekend it's been quiet here - we all went for a swim in the river today.

We heard from our searchdog friends who went up to train in Scotland last week that they'd been busy - not only did they do training but also got involved in a couple of real life callouts, both of which had sad endings.

Yesterday Kaz and Daryl were called out twice to help a person with a fractured wrist and another with a leg injury.

Hopefully Kaz will be feeling well enough to look forward to our week in Aviemore on Sunday with John and Clair and Islay and searchdog Skye !

A great weekend

This weekend me and Kaz and Daryl and the Dram and Angus dogs have been in the Trough of Bowland at an assessment weekend for Trailing dogs. We watched Neill from Ireland with his dog Paddy on Saturday and later on Kaz and Angus dog showed the assessors that Angus could search a small area for a specific person's scent and indicate when he found it. Kaz was super pleased and I was a bit proud of the puppy too! Then the really brilliant thing is that Daryl and the Dram dog were given the hat of a person that had gone missing from a carpark 2 hours previously and he showed Daryl where the scent was then he trailed the missing person Pete and found him! Well done Dram dog. Daryl was really proud of him and so are the rest of us! Today Kaz bodied for Neill and Paddy. She'd laid her trail yesterday which meant Paddy had to find it 24 hours after she'd gone missing. In that time it had rained and snowed! The photo is of Kaz waiting for Paddy to get to her. The 2 nd is paddy finding her then the last one is Paddy celebrating!
