2nd track on Thursday December 5

Serpentine track to the right .  Started putting track in 11:48 , weather conditions sunny 42° feels like 34 21 mph winds. The winds were really whipping up at this time probably the hardest track we’ve ever had to do. So again I put extra articles and treats.  At the first turn Zane wanted to go left instead of right we went around in circles but he definitely wanted to go to left which was toward the road and

houses on the other side.  He then went back down the line from which we came and he noticed a groundhog hole that I hadn’t spotted so once again we went down the line and he still wanted to go to the left and again we did the same circle he definitely wanted to go towards the road  we finally turned to the right , we went a little ways and he found the article , glad I put it there so I knew we were back on track. As we went down the line and got to the next turn he made a huge arc in the opposite direction of the turn and we ended up back where the article was that we just found he went back up the line and got the correct turn this time , as with the other track ( going in the same direction) we were 5 feet over from where the next article was , he zeroed in on it and snatched it , the winds were  really strong at this time. We found the last article and celebrated. I also remembered to have his water for both runs. As we walked  to the van down the road what I thought was him trying to pick up the scent at the first turn was really more of distractions but I had a knit cap on and the roar of the wind was so loud that I 

hadn’t heard a house full of dogs barking at the picture window of the house across the street it was also A loud banging like the wind blowing the door shut over and over and plenty of birds in the yards.  Zane was dragging me across the street he wanted to get over there so bad I also had a feeling that something was in the woods maybe he detected a deer.   I had to grab his harnesses with my 

.hands to keep him  from dragging me across the road and into the woods and yards,   Something he really wanted to get to. Challenging track . Always learning to trust in him especially the first track of the day.
