Pets in the Park

On Sunday we volunteered to set up a booth at the Humane Society’s annual Pets in the Park.  Tango was a little excited when we first got there.  Both she and Don were wearing their “search gear” so she thought that she was there to work.  Once she figured out that there wasn’t going to be any searching, she settled down and helped greet all the visitors and their pets.

Yeah Team Tango!!!

Don and Tango passed their annual RCMP certification test today. Although it has been raining non-stop all day they went ahead with the testing. The large articles have been laying out in the test field for two rain filled days, but Tango found them all. The people search was picture perfect and a thing of beauty.  She hit on the scent more than 75 yards away. They were tested on 4 profiles today: large articles, small articles, people and alleys.  Their cadaver test will happen this fall. I wasn’t allowed to watch the certifcation tests because I am too much of a distraction for our girl.  While she is searching she likes to do a ‘run-by’ just to say hi to Mom.

I’m so proud of them.  We are going to have a celebration dinner tonight!!!
