Puppy Watch

Puppies are popping,  popping inside, not popping out.     The babies respond to my hands on her belly. I, of course , talk to them and ask them questions like "...when are you coming out?"

The pups have dropped and Faye's milk is in, however, her temperature has remained steady.  Getting close, but not here yet.  Tomorrow is the 63rd day from the last breeding.

.....we are all anxiously awaiting.

Op-Ed Columnist: The Outsourced Brain
By DAVID BROOKS
I realized the magic of the information age is that it allows us to know less. It provides us with external cognitive servants.

Ammann vom Adlerbach Memorial


Ammann vom Adlerbach, known to his family as Manny, died a hero.

He lost his life  protecting his family and beloved children from a male intruder who broke into his family's home during the night.  Manny did a lot of damage to the criminal before he shot and killed Manny.  Manny's heroic defense gave enough time for the police to arrive.  No harm was done to Manny's family.

Like his father, Narro von der Kine SchH3, he loved children the best.  His first family had some problems and could not keep him so he came back and stayed with a friend until he found the exact right second family for him. This is the family he gave his life for.

Ammann is the full brother of my Ajax.  A friend made a video of Ajax's son, Chip, getting his schutzhund 3 and I chose the music from the movie Robin Hood  "Anything I do----I do it for you" as the background.  Lines say "I'll fight for you, walk the wilds for you, I'll die for you" and Chip's Uncle Ammann did just that. 

Ammann was 7.  

I am so sad he is gone but so glad he lived up to the ultimate job of the noble German Shepherd. 

May he rest in peace with his father, Barb
