Unearthing forest secrets with my truffle dogs & sharing stories of woodland wonder 🍄✨🐕 Truffle Hunter🍄🟫 @TruffleDogSchool.bsky.social 🎓 Writer📚 Bridging the gap between training and wild truffle finds. 🔗👇 https://i.mtrbio.com/wagnificent-k9-truffle-dogs
Today in "Unexpected Truffle Hunt Moments": Five cats emerged from the forest to watch us arrive, like some kind of mysterious welcoming committee. One by one, they casually disappeared back into the trees, apparently satisfied.
Pretty sure I just passed some sort of secret forest cat evaluation.🐈✨
I enjoyed this wild card prompt for Flash Fiction February.

Flash Fiction February!
Today's prompt - 'They would learn to live their lives upon a fleet of ships. There was little hope of ever seeing dry land again' - sparked an unexpected journey into the forest's own survival fleet.

That was fun. Thanks for the adventure!
Flash Fiction February!
From the prompt 'Imagine a character who knows that they are evil and fully accepts this trait,' we explored something different - nature's unapologetic truth-tellers.

Day 3 of Flash Fiction February! From today's prompt: "What she heard, she drew. What she drew came to life." We explored how the deepest magic emerges from genuine partnership.

I reimagined this prompt into a tale about two parallel worlds.
Day 2 Flash Fiction February challenge.

A close-up photo of a Douglas Fir branch and cone. The backdrop is a blue sky.
In the #PNW, #truffles favor the Douglas Fir stands so it helps to know how to identify these trees.
Douglas fir trees have flat needles, the same color on both sides, soft to the touch, and fragrant. The bark is a reddish brown color accented by ridges running vertically up the trunk.
I decided to try the Flash Fiction February challenge, using each day's prompt with a truffle hunting twist.
The prompt for this one was:
“Describe the villa by the sea where you want to go live. After you remove who lives in it now, of course."

Sneak peek...
A Jane Goodall quote with a picture of her making eye contact behind the words.
Stunning snowy road through a forest of white branches, with sunlight filtering through trees.
❄️ Snow in the PNW forecast! While locals might groan, this truffle hunter is delighted. Snow acts like nature's blanket, protecting truffles from deep freezes while letting them experience that perfect cold snap for peak quality. Alaska-born me loves it twice as much! 🍄

Frosty bison calf says hello! ❄️
Winter is no match for bison. As temperatures drop, bison grow a thick, insulating coat, and their skin adapts to keep them warm. Our young calf continues to thrive with the herd, embracing the winter season. 🦬

Thank you!
I do! I remember when she got started truffle hunting. My dog, Da Vinci, was the first truffle hunting Tervuren in the PNW, and hers were hunting a few years later.
I'd love to be part of your Starter Pack! Either my personal profile or business @truffledogschool.bsky.social
Did you decide on a name?
The photo is shot from above. It captures the moment of harvest as a handler and her truffle dog remove a truffle from the earth. The handler is wearing a white jacket with black pants. The dog is black and white with a long, flowing coat.

I should have bought this all those years ago 🤣
Wolves live together. Wolves work together. Wolves play together 🤗
When it comes to wolves, it's all about family.

What a great accomplishment! I bet you are very proud. I'm glad to hear the aroma is gone.
I went to the University of Puget Sound. Literally got to graduate school on the east coast and was shocked at how far ahead I already was. Tacoma has good colleges. The city isn't great. "Tacoma aroma" will send people packing.
