Scaredy cat, writing for a doggy blog
Well now!
I have been blogging since 2008 I currently write two blogs, so WHY, when asked to write a post on our Search Dogs Sussex blog did I turn into a gibbering wreck and stare at the computer screen for 10 minutes without a clue what to write?
That, for the record was a rhetorical question!
If anyone is interested in what I did eventually write you can read it

Setting the scene..
Here are some photos again from Saturdays training . . . .
Sharon "Who needs an OS Map when you have a grubby window and a vivid imagination!
Hiding in the holly bush under a camouflage cover...as you do on a Saturday morning!
Cain smiling for the camera! And the view from the edge of the woods
The Wandering Misper
A Misper is a missing Person, and not, as my cousin thought "a song from the Mikado or a good name for a racehorse!" although I love his thinking.
At Saturdays training session it was warm, not brilliant sun, but with all the walking we do it made us all take our jackets off.
After hiding for a couple of the dogs I Tec'ed for Steve and his dog Cain before becoming the wandering misper.
Usually when we hide for a dog to search for us we remain static and often cover over with something camouflage, today however Steve W. asked me to shuffle up and down a path to see how Ace would react. The View Ranger map looks as if I am trying to colour the path in I went up and down so many times, when I heard Ace's harness bells I shuffled and put my head down, covertly watching what he would do without him making direct eye contact, he was startled and unsure to begin with but ran straight back to his handler and alerted as he is trained to do! Top marks Ace, even though you were not used to finding such a Misper.
On a separate note at least the girls at training managed a little uniqueness, Sharon, Anna and myself! As for the lads, other than Leo there was Steve B, Steve W, and Steve T! :-)
During the first video there is some laughing . . . .sorry but the search dog got under the camouflage sheet with me,
