tracked nicely along the first leg, thoroughly checked
out the first turn and indicated the first article clearly. She made the next
turn and found the second article. She sorted out the problem of where the lone
sheep had been camping, then made her way to the t-shirt

7th
September 2008 Tilly gains Qualification at Qualification Test age 8 months
Tilly
proved her worth in the rain to qualify on her Tracking Qualification Test. As
far as the rain was concerned she was almost oblivious to it and was one sodden
little dog afterwards. After doing her required Track to find Sean in the
bush she enjoyed her yummy treats. One very wet but happy dog was accompanied
back with friend, judge and steward and a slightly wet but happy owner convinced
it is the handler that needs to improve. It was not until back at the car that
it was discovered Linda's car keys had slipped out of the little bum bag
pouch probably while walking over a rock or something. Serves me right for not
taking the usual bag, says Linda. Oh dear says everyone. Are you sure you didn't
lock them in the car? No, definitely not! Next you have
owner-Linda, friend-Sean, judge-Nid and steward-Sheila all checking where could
they most likely be in an expanse of ? There's Linda saying Somewhere "out
there" not wanting to consider the repercussions of the no keys scenario.
Without hesitation Tilly was told 'find' around the original trail just walked,
so off she went again, this time on a shorter lead. Sheila was muttering I've
got at least 2 twitty friends because she has seen this before with someone
else! Nid pointed out the start bush once more and Tilly re- tracked the trail
previously walked straight down and then around the turn, and yes, there they
were...car keys. It took just a few minutes. Walking back after that, the
tracklayer, Sean managed to drop a sock (used in the test) for a second time and
kept walking. Following behind were Sheila, Linda and Tilly who came across the
sock too with Linda calling out "article". There are benefits in tracking even
as novices......you never know when it may be useful.......and thanks to
Tilly, Linda was able to drive home.
