Blue Goes to South GA

This weekend we went to visit my Aunt and Uncle in Dexter, GA! It was really nice to see them, we haven't seen them since January! About 4 months ago my Aunt was diagnosed with the return of her cancer and the Dr's said it was in 11 spots in her body. The prognosis was not good but with treatment the Dr's believed they could buy her 3-4 years. She recently finished the treatment and went for a check-up and she is in remission! It is a complete miracle and we are all so excited!

It was not a very fun trip for Blue but he did good! Most of the time we stayed in the house and he had very little outside play time. I was nervous taking him outside because they have had some incidents of rattle snakes around the area. Blue is starting to behave better for me! We need to work on his obedience for my parents. They just need to practice with him! My parents just returned from a cruise to the Greek Isles and had a wonderful time! They have some amazing pictures and video! I will try to post a link to their pictures once I have them up!

We have tried some practice tracks with Blue that have been a little rocky. We did a track in a subdivision and Blue couldn't keep on the scent and seemed to just give up! We tried to coax him up and get him back on scent but it didn't go well. We also tried a track in south GA. Blue back tracked to the beginning of the track and I couldn't get him to leave the area! He drug me down a path that Erik didn't take but ultimately we made it to Erik with a lot of direction and talking up! I think we are going to have to up the reward at the end, and keep practicing! Please pray I do the right thing! Blue knows how to track and all his obedience I just have to work with him and keep him interested in tracking.

Hey ya'll!!! I got to go see my Aunt Shirley this weekend and play with my cousins! I had a good time! They have a cool tree swing that I love to swing on! Mom just wont push me as long as I want her too! Mom made Blue lay down in the grass near us while I swung in the swing! If I could have figured out how to fit Blue on the swing with me I would have let him swing too! They also have a trampoline! Mom said Blue wouldn't like to jump with me, but I think she is wrong! Blue loves to jump! Mrs Laura thinks that Blue is part Kangaroo!!!

I am so excited!!! This weekend we are having my friends Justice and Riley, and Blue's friend Zoro come over and play with us! Mom is making Halloween food (I hope it isn't anything like last year's bat wings, YUCK) and we are going to play and eat! Hope ya'll have a great week and have a lot of FUN!! Blue and I will talk to ya'll soon!!!

Anna, Momma, Erik and Blue
