Dog Soldiers Funeral
Soldier grieving the loss of two of his comrades.
“Many people remember a fallen soldier as a person in uniform. Sometimes that soldier is the four legged friend who saved your life by being a bomb-sniffing dog and finding the IED and warns you about it before it explodes.” Michael Hoffman
It is estimated that these dogs save an average of 3-5 soldiers lives A DAY and an average of 150 lives throughout their careers. Wow. That’s a 150 people who can go home to their families because of one single K9 soldier’s efforts. 150 mother’s hearts who will not be broken while they are accepting a folded flag at their child’s funeral. 150 parents who will see their children grow up. And untold numbers of children who will not have to grow up without their parent. Because of one dog.
Thank a hero, thank a four legged soldier. And what wonderful soldiers they are. RIP, heroes.
Congratulations to Singer’s Dad!
Congratulations to Rich (Singer’s Dad) on his retirement!
At just two years of age this is what Singer and Rich have accomplished together, here is Rich’s update:
Singer’s has in AKC, CGC (canine good citizen), HT (herding tested), PT (pre trial tested), HSAs (herding started A course sheep) and one leg toward his RN (rally novice). He is also close to starting his agility career.
In the AHBA (American Herding Breed Ass.) He has earned HCT (herding capability tested), JHD (junior herding dog) and HRD-Is (herding ranch dog I on sheep). We will soon be working on HTD (herding trial dog), HTAD (herding trial arena dog), RLF (ranch large flock), AKC B course and moving up to HIA (herding intermediate A Course).
After tomorrow I will have more time to spend with him. We are hoping to add tracking soon. He’s such a good boy.

That would be IX healthy puppies, IV boys and V girls. Birth weights were 5 at 24 ounces, 1 at 30 ounces, and 3 at 22 ounces. It was a good whelping, with a couple of long rest periods in between whelps, the longest being 5 hours.



Ana is a little displeased with me in this photo as I insisted on bathing here bottom-end, she rewarded me by squirting out some afterbirth and re-soiling everything I just cleaned up. LOL
