The despair completely encapsulated Nancy and she began to sob.Ī few hours later, as I lay on that front stoop hoping with all hope that someone would find me I heard a faint sound in the distance. She brought Horizon onto the bed and with tears streaming down her face she hugged Horizon close and whispered “well Horizon, I guess it is just you and me now. ? I sat on the front stoop of the house with the BBQ, becoming more afraid and sad with each passing minute.īack at home, Nancy went into the house to check on Horizon. But in my rush to get to the BBQ, I had actually run quite far and I did not hear them. Everyone was out combing the streets calling for me…”Beamer! Beamer!”.
Nancy had enlisted the aid of all the neighbours.
Nancy put Horizon in the house and went outside to begin the search for me. She went running to her! “Oh thank goodness you are ok Horizon!”. Horizon had finished her adventure and was sniffing out mice in the back garden when Nancy called. In the meantime, Nancy had discovered the unlatched gate and instantly became panic-struck! She ran out to the front of the house calling for Horizon and me. Well, my human Nancy ALWAYS takes care of me so I will just wait. I didn’t know what to do! Should I leave and try to find my way back home or wait. The BBQ was sitting to the side of the front door and was no longer on. I was lost!! I padded up to the door of the house where the smells were coming from. I turned from this way to that and sniffed the air but nothing was familiar. When I stopped running and looked around I didn’t recognize anything. It was so pretty and vast with houses, and fields and trees everywhere! And the SMELLS!!! Horses, chickens, vegetables growing in fields and….what is that I smell?….BBQ! I smell BBQ! Oh boy, I love BBQ! Before I realized what I was doing I was running down the road with abandonment racing towards the tantalizing odour that promised succulent meat at the end of my journey. Going against all my instincts, I followed my sister out of the gate. “We won’t go far and we will come right back” Horizon assured me. She looked at me and said “come on, Sis! Let’s go out and see what’s beyond the gate.” But I did NOT want to go! I liked the sanctuary of our home and I knew that Nancy would be very upset with us if we left. My sister, Horizon and I were outside in our yard when suddenly Horizon noticed that someone left the back gate open! You have to understand, Horizon was an adventurous spirit always looking for opportunities to explore and have fun.
2016 BEAMER HOW TO
Didn’t I tell you that story? Why, it is because I got lost that inspired my humans to start training the young dogs how to search. How I wish there had of been dogs like my young great grand kids and their cousins to come and find ME when I was lost. It reminded me of the time I was a young pup and got lost. Learning how to detect scents is part of what my young family members are learning as part of their search and rescue training! Watching them learn how to detect odours, follow directional commands and build drive made me feel so proud of them. It has a weird almost sweet smell of mint! I heard “yes” and the hot dogs came!
2016 BEAMER FULL
Finally, cost they open the gate and I charge in at full speed!!(well, medicine full speed for a 14 year old!) I race to the containers and smell the prize! HOT DOGS!!! I hit the container with my paw. I’ll show you how to find them!” I bark to the young pups who are practicing their scent detection techniques.
I frantically paw at the gate trying to get past the barrier that separates me from the tasty hot dog bits! “Move out of my way kids. The young dogs were working and having a great time! I watch with anticipation and excitement. Some of their training reminds me of things that happened in my past and stories I want to share with you! Like the time the young dogs were doing scent work. We have so much fun here at Good as Gold and I enjoy watching the young dogs train.
