ORTs, Take Two

Can't forget this!

Jedi and I are trying this again. Regular readers may remember that we didn't pass the NACSW Odor Recognition Test last January. We drove all the way to West Palm Beach for that one too. Well, it's being offered again. This time we're headed Gainesville. It's only 90 minutes away so we're going to make it a one day thing. Forgoing a hotel stay saves us a lot of money! But even for a day trip we end up taking a lot of stuff. I'm making my pack list now. It includes:

• Jedi's NACSW Official Scorebook
• Crate
• Crate fan and extra batteries
• Martingale collar (this is his nosework collar)
• 6 foot leather leash
• Easy-up canopy (it's hot!)
• Chairs for me and Hubby
• Ice chest
• Sandwiches/snacks for people
• Bait (chicken!)
• Water for everybody
• Water bowl
• First aid kit (I always carry one when traveling with the dogs)
• Poop bags
• Camera
• Cash

Well, I'd better start packing the car. We're meeting with friends at 5:30 in the morning and caravanning to Gainesville. I'm excited. And nervous. Wish us luck! -- K

P.S. We passed!
