Gimme and I went up the street to our walking place and I planned to be back in time for a track aged 45 minutes. Unfortunately that isn't what happened. I saw a poster for a lost cat and then saw the cat. So I went back to get the number off the poster to call the owners, but my phone had no coverage. A lady came along and I was able to use her phone and left them a detailed message where they could find their kitty sleeping in the sun at the base of a tree next to the trail. I left my number hoping they'd call to say they got the cat, but haven't heard anything.
Anyway all this folderol pushed our track age to 1:10. Given how dry it's been, it created a much harder track than I wanted, given Gimme's seasonal issues.She struggled with the first leg and first corner. Once she got close to the article on the second leg, she settled out and did well until she came to the second corner. I had to help her with it, but then she did well with the rest of the leg and the third corner as well.
The bit of her track overlapping the building is actually her going into some open bays there. There had been a man sitting there in his car eating a sandwich when I laid the track, so perhaps she was looking for crumbs. Gimme had to figure out which way to go when the track came up along the little wall, where the walkway split into an upper and lower area. It took her a bit, but she figured it out and was quickly rewarded with the last article.
Can't wait for the bee pollen supplementing to take affect so she doesn't have to work so hard. Meanwhile I try to plan for positive experiences.
