Tracking with Dewey and Ellen

 6/30/24. 7:00 am, 78.8 degrees, 84% humidity, age 4 min (ants), grass is short, dead and dry - breeze SW Random piles of kibble on short track with turns. Green circles on drawing were the piles of kibble. He actually tracked great! Good start. He was pulled off the track a couple feet when it paralleled the woods. He thought tracking for breakfast was pretty fun. I did not use an article because I just laid this on a whim.
