We realized we’d been hammering the blind search a little too hard, and she probably wasn’t going to improve while we beating that particular deceased equine. So Monday night I said, “Let’s do just one… 

Laev is a very speedy dog — physically, I mean, she’s very fast. When she rounds a blind and sets out across the field to reach the last blind and helper, she’s really booking. It… 

I’ve often joked that Laev’s my exercise program, but I didn’t realize she was a part of my strength conditioning. I was working on a new costume and needed to pin the sleeves for taking…
