Jillie looks lovely too, her ear fluff has grown over that side well.
I hope Eddie is back on the nosework himself soon.

They DEFINITELY have nosework in Fairbanks because the woman who introduced the sport to Alaska has done a clinic up there for instructors. I'll find out which school she worked with and let you know.

And, yes, Eddie has been noseworking throughout his rehab. I started by just hiding it in his Xpen, so he could walk on soft padding to find it. Now he's back to searching around the house and on short walks. It really helped occupy his mind.

Here's the link to the national association for more information: http://www.nacsw.net/
