thanks everyone. Kersey is truly thrilled with doing SAR training. She's a natural tracker, and being a true working dog, she is thrilled to have a job. She enjoyes obedience, and she enjoyed agility, but she's absolutely crazy about tracking and SAR! Our club is incredible, the teachers are amazing and it is incredibly fun for the both of us. I was so lucky to get in when I did, because they closed the club to newcomers right after I joined. I have never seen Kersey so happy about anything. I haven't even given her a dramamine in a few weeks, and our training is 45 minutes away, and she has not gotten sick! I even feed her on Sat. morning between 1-2 hours before we hit the road, and she does not even show signs of being car sick. That is a huge breakthrew for her, and a huge relief for me, as a 73 pound dog could make a huge mess when she vomits!

I am proud of her, and I am so glad that she has such a strong work drive, otherwise I would not be able to do this type of work with her. She's a great partner and she and I are SO bonded, more now then ever.

I feel bad for Graham, because Kersey and I train in SAR 2-3 times a week, Thursday training is from 5 PM until about 7:30-8 PM, Saturday morning training starts at 10:00 AM and lasts until about 2-3 PM, and every other Wednesday we have training that goes from about 5 PM to 8 PM, plus Monday night is obedience. I truly feel sorry for my Graham baby, who is having to stay home with daddy so often without me or Kersey

I do spend some special one on one time with Graham, but not as much as I spend with Kersey.
