Ok, maybe that is a bit of an exaggeration. I was on a local news show last week though, and I’m going to be on TV again in the Southern California area. People seem to be really curious about the work that I’m training to do (Specific Scent Discrimination Training), and the work that Mom and Aunt Kat do (pet detectives). We try to help people find their missing pets. It takes a lot of hard work, and a lot of patience. Aunt Kat has been doing this for years; my mom is kind of new at it. Mom got filmed for an upcoming segment on “The Today Show” where she was using Kody to find a missing snake (it wasn’t REALLY missing, they just pretended). Today Aunt Kat, Hardin (that’s Susie’s Dad), Susie and Mom all went to help a woman find her missing cat. They stayed and helped for 2 ½ hours, but didn’t see the kitty. They’re pretty sure, and they really hope that she is in the garage hiding and scared. Did you know a cat will hide for days, and days, and days before they’ll meow, or get hungry enough to come out of hiding? Isn’t that amazing? Susie alerted in the garage, so they think Sesame might be hiding in there after he accidentally was let out of the house by a painted. I hope Sesame’s mom finds him soon; they gave her lots of ideas on how to find Sesame.

If you want to learn more about today’s search, you can read about it from Susie’s point of view in her diary. (I only know what Mom told me).
