Camp Ho Mita Koda has been so generous with their camp by allowing us to host trials and classes. Janice and I are at the Backpack Bivouac at Ho Mita Koda volunteering tonight.

Penny is worn out from the ORT yesterday. I was a one of the nonbelievers who didn’t think that she would settle down enough to search. Penny acted like she was running Fast Cat but with numerous restarts, she pulled it off.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our ORT today at One Smart Dog. We had perfect weather, the best volunteers around, and handlers who were always ready for their turn. Everything ran so smoothly that we were done by noon. Robin Ford, our CO, had the room set up quickly which definitely helped the flow. Our judge, Brian Jordan, enjoyed seeing all of the dogs and their searches. I know that everyone was excited each time that he said YES!

Great searching everyone!

We are looking forward to seeing everyone at our ORT on Saturday, 9/6/25. It looks like cool weather all day. I’ll be running my dog too. Good luck, breathe, and believe in your dog and yourself.

Our parking/check-in volunteer injured her knee and she can’t help out at the Odor Recognition Test on 9/6/25 in Seville, OH. Is anyone available to volunteer?

I messed up! I forgot to give Bob Lipscomb our parking lot volunteer on Saturday a BIG THANK YOU. Bob stood outside all day in very cold weather and did a great job getting the cars lined up and the competitors to their searches. His warm personality helped ease the tension that comes with trialing.

THANK YOU BOB!

Thank you to all of the competitors who came to Century Village Museum for our NACSW trials. An extra big thank you goes out to our CO Nancy Reyes, our judges Brian Jordan and Christe Patt, Score Room Lead Laurie Ucasz and LynMarie Hamel who assisted her. Susanne Stiffler managed the parking area, white board/running orders and chased away people looking for a pancake breakfast, tour of the grounds, public restrooms and the list goes on. Roland, Malibu, and Wink were proud to be our Dogs in White.

I can’t thank the volunteers enough! Janice Lipscomb and Claire LaButta did a super job serving as the Volunteer Coordinators. We had over 20 volunteers making it possible for everyone to have a great trial experience.

Don’t forget to order your videos!
