I chatted with Gail last night on Facebook. Ms Rain is doing really well in her training. She had a lot of fun last weekend. She got to search 2 different large buildings and work 4 different problems.at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center. She loves to work and is doing great. She is a very fast learner.
Gail says that she loves to watch Rain work. She will go out and search then look back at Gail so Gail can tell her she is a good girl. She loves to show off, especially in front of other people. She had quite a following this weekend and she would prance around until she had all the attention then take off and work. It was amazing talking to Gail. I see so much of Cinders in Rain. Gail says that Rain is bone headed about some things, tough as nails most of the time yet the most loving girl I could want. I love to watch her work. That little dober brain kicks into gear and you wonder just how smart they are. What I also love is how she gets so excited to work. She is such high drive and she will get so wound up then after we are done she sleeps like a log. (She snores some but it's cute) . Yes, I do love the little girl (even if she isn't so little any more). Her snore is this little "flutter" and when she snores Tory stares at her with this "What on Earth is that" look on his face. Her description reminds me so much of Cinders. I love to see Cinders passing on these wonderful traits to her pups. Rain was one of the pups that I really thought favored her mother (Porsche is Daddy Arras' girl). Gail is talking about getting Rain's LETS certification http://www.letsk9professionals.org/cadaver.html in April and her IDHS certifications next summer. She needs to work on stay with her for the obedience part. She does most of it prettygood but stay is hard (again she takes after mommy Cinders). I attached a picture of Rain starting her building search. I can't wait to hear more about Rain and Gail. I hope to go watch them train again sometime. |
