I\’ve been working with Sonic a little bit to teach him to Find Quinn. I started by putting the blanket over Quinn and now we have moved to Quinn hiding and Sonic using his sniffer to find him.
We\’ve had a couple of successes and it\’s really interesting to see Sonic really sniff him out with his nose to the ground. We had another success this morning although I\’m not sure Sonic used his sniffer that much. See it on YouTube here.
My hiking leader also teaches a hiking class at a local college and Sunday was their final exam. The kids had to hike 8 miles from Newbury Park to the beach. Lucky for me, she invited her other hiking class to join her and 3 of us took her up on her offer.
A couple of us met her at the ending point on the Pacific Coast Highway at 7:15 am. It looked a little like this.
Then we drove to the starting point to meet up with the rest of the group. There were about 14 of us in all. The start of the hike is wide and paved and the hike is almost all flat or downhill.
I guess I didn\’t take any pictures in the middle of the hike but we reached the beach.
Talking to the college students who hike on Mondays before us, it was good to hear them complaining about how hard the hikes are and how Sharlene really pushes the pace. It made us ol\’ ladies feel a little better.
And the proof.
Quinn is so close to getting a hit. His swing is improving and it\’s just a matter of time. Here he is last night. He\’s even getting a little bit of attitude pounding the plate. Or you can watch it larger on You Tube right here.
