Nelson and I are happy about earning some Detective Qs at the Scent Work Trial on the weekend. I already have my Detective Title but am working on my second one and Nelson is working on his first. To be fair, Mom let us each do one Detective search each of the three days.
The weather was beautiful all weekend, but it did get rather warm in the afternoon. Once and a while Mom took us over to the river for a walk . We’ve never seen the river this high before. The trial was at the fairgrounds which means we also had searches in animal barns and stuff which adds another challenge to our sniffing.
Mom and I used these searches to prepare for my upcoming Summit Trials. We totally rocked all three of my searches and had so much fun together. I’m proud to have earned a fourth and a first place in two of my searches. One needs ten Q’s to earn a Detective Title and I now have nine towards my second one.
Nelson is still young but he works really hard and only missed one hide in his first try. The second try was a disaster. It was a sheep barn with sheep poo and pee all over and the poor guy could not stay focused on his nose work. On the third day, it all came together and he earned a Q. He now has two Q’s towards his first Detective Title. It’s good practice for Team Lime. The Tilt a Whirl comes from Faribault, so we thought it would be a fitting place to pose together with our Detective Qs.
We don’t know when we will be doing Scent Work again, it may not be until 2025 as we have a pretty full calendar for the rest of 2024. Madison joined us for sniffing Saturday. You can read all about how it went for her on Friday this week. Happy Tuesday!
My GBGV Life is happy, so we’re joining Comedy Plus for Happy Tuesday!
You and Nelson are so smart, Olivia, and I can understand how the sheep business would try to trip Nelson up. The two of you look so cute on the fair ride!
Nelson will learn with experience to ignore things like sheep poo and get to work. Practice makes perfect and he is still very young for the top levels he is at.
Well done on the Detective Q’s. I love the photo in the ride!
Hugs Cecilia
It is a fun photo spot!
Well done!!! BOTH of you!!!
Thank you.
You guys are so talented. You’re really special hounds. You should be so proud of the entire pack, including Mom.
She is getting better at reading us and we had a lot of fun.
We don’t think we would be able to concentrate with sheeps smells everywhere either BOL.
Congrats on earning your detective Q’s!!

They are tough, usually maybe 1/3 pass, sometimes, no one does.

Thank you. It was a really good weekend for us.
You two are the best looking detectives, you need your own TV show!
Well, Nelson needs to finish his title first and then we can go to Hollywood 😉
I know your mom is proud of all of you and we know Nelson is young and has much learning to do. The sheep poo and pee made me cringe. I can see why that threw him off.
Love the Tilt-a-Whirl. My sister and I used to ride these all the time in our younger years. We loved this ride.
Thank you for joining the Happy Tuesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Happy Tuesday. Scritches to the precious pups and a hug to mom. ♥
Our mom loved the ride too as a kid and teenager. I don’t think we would like it moving but still it is nice.
Congratulations on a good weekend!
Thank you. We all had fun and did well.
Congratulations on earning your Qs!
Thank you. It was a successful weekend.
Congratulations
Thank you.
Way to go, Nelson!
Two Q’2 and two years old 🙂
You should be very proud of yourselves! Well done.
We are proud of any Detective Q’s as they are hard to get. Often times no one gets a Q in a search.
