Had a fast and scampery day! The last few times we haven't found until about 3:00 or later, we have these afternoon meets at 1:00 or 1:30. I've been threatening to start arriving at 3:00. I'm glad I was on time Saturday, because we found right away and ran like crazy. He ran toward the freeway and we feared he'd try to cross, fortunately changed direction and we lost him. Then hounds found again, and we ran him for a while before giving him best. Feature of the day was regular checks and self casts. Lots more young hounds out than usual, most of the stars were away at a field trial. So they had plenty of opportunities to learn about following their noses, only not too quickly.
It was nice afterward, at the post mortem with the staff, whipper -in T. said, "A good old fashioned hound work day." And it was.
But then Sunday...
