Day 8... Ken arrives

Well, "Sandy" certainly did put a crimp in our plans. Ken ended up driving my car here. The flights last night were cancelled and all those people rolled over to today. He got to the training center after lunch and was happily greeted by Chevy. Nate was napping in the car. When he walked in, Nate got a big smile on his face and came over to hug his Dad. He was so happy. We tracked this morning... Holy Cow, was it cold, wet and rainy with snow mixed in. The boots again, came in handy. The first track was a bit hard for Chevy. This is the first time he has tracked in 50 mph winds and this cold of weather. He is only a year old remember. He started tracking in the spring. He found Nate the first time and we sent a trainer out the 2nd time. The 2nd track was easier as the trainer was in the woods and that cut down on the wind. We practiced walking with shopping carts today. Had lectures on chew toys... We track again tomorrow. Ken will go out on his first track. I will definitely have pictures.
