No eyes to be seen, but it's what goes on behind the nose that's important.
Truffle had her first away gig today, and did very well indeed, considering the distractions on offer.

We haven't had any rain around PDX for over 2 weeks, so low altitude whites have been quite disappointing this week. Don't be afraid of higher altitudes. The ground was frozen so mum & friends had to help, but they are there, fur sure! #truffles #fungifriends #tuber #truffledog #k9HTC #pnwtruffles

What kind of truffle do you think this is? Found last Saturday. Sky was really proud of that one. 2.6oz. We are waiting for DNA analysis results to confirm.
Yes, we had most of it over risotto. Delish! #pnwtruffles #truffledog #mushrooms #tuber #fungifriends

This is the beginning of a journey.
A journey within a journey.
These are truffles I've bought to scent train Reuben, the Labradoodle.
Training may take some time, for Reuben and I.
I look forward to the next few months.
I'll try to record the progress as we go.

Sorry it’s kind of dark. She is wearing a long line and searching for truffle oil scent (q-tip in a glass or copper salt shaker) in her backyard. This is the first one she finds.
