Trusts' Urban/Snow Track Feb.16

Trust sits at first article (sock). After 2 1/2 days of Winter Carnival, area is very contaminated; new scents today from curling group. Purple line shows track, red arrow points to article. Green to the left was a man going to fitness centre, yelling "mush" "mush" to Trust. She gave him a "dirty look" and took her corner to the right. What a good girl.
Turn just past block of snow, and she's right on it. This leg had an exhaust fan going from the arena which was to the right.

Shortly after turn, a white plastic article - see arrow. Trust dislikes plastic, yet sat right down for this one. Meanwhile, a zambonie had come out of the arena further up, drove right past us - see broken green line - after dumping the load behind us, had come back up again while we waited.


Further up this leg, there was a small building to the left with garbage from the carnival weekend. She veered off track to take a whiff, then back onto track. When she came back on, she was past her article (wood), which is why she is turned looking at me, as she circled back for it.



We're now on 5th leg, crossing in front of arena building. Just ahead and around the corner is the entrance to the post office and arena. She briefly checked this area out before continuing on the track across the driveway.




Here she is moving along the driveway on the track and towards the largest entranceway and the parking lot. Her actual track start (purple X) is way over at the other side, near 2 trucks, where it went out to the right behind the cars (in purple).





Trust crosses the entranceway and parking area with no problems. Many cars, trucks, sander had been across here from the time the track was laid. This was a long stretch from her third article to her final one (red arrow).






And there it is!!!! What a good girl, Trust!!!
