Meet Panda, Wispr's new big little brother. He is about 18 weeks old, and weighs just over 35 pounds. He has already learned almost a dozen cues. He will be trained to be my service dog.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my post of Noah passing. I cannot at this time thank you individually, but I truly appreciate your support and kind thoughts.

Our hearts are very sad today, our son and Wispr's brother Noah peacefully crossed the rainbow Bridge today. Ian, Wispr and I were with him, the doctor was very kind and supportive, he passed resting his chin on my left foot. Heart issues, came on quite suddenly. At first we thought it was the hot weather causing him to lose energy. He was amazing his whole life and for the last three years willingly and enthusiastically worked as my service dog. Noah was nine years old, far too young, but ever so loved and cherished. He will be privately cremated and his ashes returned to us.

So Tikaani having lived feral prior to the shelter is like a 12-14 week old pup even though he 6 months old. Today is one week since he came to live with us. He is doing well and is very smart. Just immature for his age.

When you get to go to the fair with your best friend… 🐶 K-9 Nikko and Deputy Domingue couldn’t pass up a great photobooth opportunity.

He slept after 56 hours of non-stop search and found 40 people alive under the rubble. This is the Tunisian hero Husky ❤🙏

We have some exciting news. It's a boy! Many of you, if you had sessions at Middle Earth Canine Academy will have heard me talk about
our dogs Noah and Wispr. Well it is now time to bring a little brother into our family. He is a Huskey / Malamute mix. About 5 1/2 months of age. We will be picking him up on Saturday May 20th. He is a rescue, and we will be gifting him the name Tikaani, which means wolf warrior. He has had some struggles in his young life but we are so excited to welcome him into our family. Check out those amazing ears. I hope you are all doing well.

“Bandit saved my life around 4 am this morning, he woke me up (I don’t know how long he may have been trying to wake me) and I couldn’t get up and I was really sweaty and weak.

I asked him to get my meter and he did, my blood sugar was at 30 (this is very dangerous and can cause diabetic coma, if he didn’t wake me up I may have not woken up again).

I asked Bandit to get me juice so he did. Then I was able to get up to get more to eat. I love this dog!!”

Oreo had just passed away the night before . I took Mungo out after work for a hike to enjoy the beautiful Autumn day. My mind was consumed with grief and overwhelmed with the pain of Oreo's passing. I stopped to sit, take in the peace and collect myself and thoughts.
As we sat there listening to the movement of the breeze and noise of the birds, I noticed Mungo looking up. He has never done this and he's never done it since, but at that moment, he was looking up for a good five minutes. I snapped this picture because at that moment, I do believe his brother was with us, comforting us and letting his brother know he was ok and still near.......❤️🐾❤️

Yesterday I was visiting my son's school
I see a bright colored bench in the yard. I asked if this was the only place to sit.
- And he said to me, ′′ No, that's the bench of friends. When someone is lonely or can't find a play partner, they'll sit there and others invite them to play with them."
- I tell him I thought this was great, and I asked him if he used it himself?
- He says: ′′ Yes at the beginning of the year when I was new here.
I sat there and another student came to invite me to play with him. This made me happy. And now when I see someone sitting there, I also invite them to play."
Great idea on mutual aid and kindness to implement in all playgrounds!
