Or, as I think of her, ML. Readers of this blog probably have seen her comments – always informative and entertaining, in fact, a treat. Here she is yesterday, starting off on our recent posts about a scent trial involving Vickie, another Chet and Bernie reader, and Chilo, her member of the nation within:

“Congrats to Vickie and Chilo. They are a team. Both accuracy and speed are usually involved and it isn’t enough for Chilo to alert but for Vickie to recognize what he is telling her and communicate that to the judges who then decide if they are correct or not. All scentwork trials are team sports between dog and handler. The NASDA has ranks of proficiency just like the AKC and NASDW.

When it comes to teamwork, Bernie and Chet are tops. Bernie knows Chet and follows his lead and Chet is a great detective who follows his nose. Both use their intuition and curiosity, working together for an answer. No judges to call their accuracy, just a solution to a mystery.

It’s National Teacher’s day.

Also National Roast leg of Lamb day. I’m sure Chet wouldn’t mind at all.”

Neither would I! I love roast leg of lamb!
