Re: The Heat is ON: July/August Goals and Progress
Mountaineer, thank you so much for taking that time to write all that out for me. Reading it it's certainly does seem like him and Lynx have similar personality. That does sound pretty similar to what we do as far as lots of lateral, changes of direction and such. But this is very helpful as a remin...

Demi, So glad to hear you are still writing and enjoying your new girl. Mountaineer, can I ask what you're doing with Potter's to get his focus during his spooking?

Re: Thoughts on this video?
In contrast I enjoyed this video although I'm not sure what everyone else would think about it I guess. To me it's pretty basic but it's the kind of video that I think is helpful to be put into the public.

Well anyways, this video will go in the discard pile for me. Thanks for the discussion guys.
