Hello everyone, I hope you all are enjoying the nice weather. Friends for life dog training will be once again offering our Whistle Recall class in the spring. This is a 5 session class that meets one a week. This is a very popular class and sells out quick. If you are interested in reserving a spot please contact us at [email protected]

This is my all time favorite class to teach. There are a few things to consider before enrolling in this class. Your dog has to be good with other dogs as this is not appropriate for dogs that are not good with people or other dogs. I also teach a private whistle recall class for those dogs who have issues with other dogs. The max for the class is 6 dogs. It is your responsibility to buy your own whistle which I will send a recommendation before the class starts.

There is a two week conditioning period for the whistle before the class actually starts. The first 3 classes will be held at a fully fenced park in Redmond Oregon. Depending on how the students are progressing the last 2 classes will be off leash in another area. Pre- payment for the class is required before the class starts. We accept cash, checks, Venmo or credit cards. The cost for the class is 175.00 which includes 5 sessions with written homework sent to each student after each class.

Hope to see you there

I think Snickers and Dakota would have been friends. We adopted miss ears in March this year. I think Snickers would have approved.

We miss so much about Snickers, she had the amazing ability to make us laugh even when we were having a bad day. She was always so happy and carefree. We miss her goofiness,her charm, her loyalty, her beauty and her forgiveness. You are in our hearts everyday Snickers. It has almost been 5 months since you left this world for a much kinder happier place in Heaven. I am sure you are making friends and are waiting for us to join you.

A Soldier's Christmas

'Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
In a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone.

I had come down the chimney with presents to give,
And had to see just who in this home did live.

I looked all about, a strange sight I did see,
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.

No stocking by the mantle, just boots full of sand.
On the wall hung pictures, of a distant land.

With medals and badges, awards of all kinds,
A sober thought, came to mind.

For this house was different, it was dark and dreary,
I found the home of a Soldier, once I could see clearly.

The Soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone,
Curled up on the floor, in his one bedroom home.

The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder,
Not how I pictured, a United States Soldier.

Was this the hero of whom I'd just read?
Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed?

I realized the families that I saw this night,
Owed their lives to these Soldiers, who where willing to fight.

Soon around the world, children would play,
And grownups would celebrate, a bright Christmas day.

They enjoyed Freedom, each month of the year,
Because of these Soldiers, like the one lying here.

I couldn't help wonder, how many lay alone,
On a cold Christmas Eve, in a land far from home.

The very thought, brought a tear to my eye.
I dropped to my knees and started to cry.

The Soldier awakened, and I heard a rough voice,
"Santa don't cry, this life is my choice;
I fight for Freedom, I don't ask for more,
My life is my God, My Country, My Corps."

The Soldier rolled over, and soon drifted to sleep.
I couldn't control it, I continued to weep.

I kept watch for hours, so silent and still,
And we both shivered from the cold night's chill.

I didn't want to leave on that cold, dark night,
This Guardian of Honor, so willing to fight.

Then the Soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure,
Whispered, "Carry on Santa. It's Christmas Day, All is Secure."

One look at my watch, and I knew he was right.

Merry Christmas my friend, and to all a good night.

This is the first Christmas in almost 13 years that we have not been able to spend with this beautiful girl. She brought us so much joy throughout the year, Christmas was so much for us to see her get a present and be so happy with whatever she got. We miss her so much and know that she is watching all of us this Christmas.

Snickers and Cole had a very special relationship, they never argued, they played with each other, they loved traveling together. I wish they had had more time together as friends, but I know he misses her as do all of her mates. Some days without her are very hard as her loss has changed our whole family dynamic. Her family misses her every day and knwo she is is waiting on all of us to join her.

Snickers was such a great friend to all of her brothers and sister. They miss her everyday, but I know they still feel her presence. This little girl was the light of our life. We miss you Doodle.

This photo was of Snickers and one of my mentors in the TTouch world who is Sadly gone now. Her name was Edie Jane Eaton. Both of these ladies taught me some very valuable lessons, Edie Jane challenged me, and Snickers taught me to forgive and forget. I am sure they are having a few conversations in heaven right now. They both were amazing teachers.

This photos was a few years ago when we had our motorhome which was my first major trip with Mom and Dad. Even though the trip had its ups and downs I just to have my mom and dad all to myself for 10 days I missed my brothers and sister a lot and was happy to be back at home. This photo is of me and my best dog friend Mr. Pawsey. This was taken on Thanksgiving Day. I was pretty happy if I say so myself. I sure miss my family a lot.

They will never know

I remember when I first met my family. I was just a young puppy, they were so kind to me, they let me sleep in the bed with them, I got to play in the world's biggest yard. I had a lot of dog buddies to play with. My mom and dad gave me so many toys. I was so grateful to my family for always keeping me safe and for always loving me when I was alive. I may not be with them in the physical sense, but I am watching them always and patiently waiting until we are all together again. I miss my family but have lots of company in Heaven.

This photo was taken a year after Joey came to live with us. I miss my brothers a lot.

10/20/2022

This is me and Dad a few years ago. I miss hanging out with my brothers and sister. The Shepherd is Meika, the two big black dogs are Cole and Jax, the black and white on with the great haircut is Flash, the Red Aussie is Joey and then my best Friend Pawsey is the little white one. We all had so much fun together training and just playing. I know my family misses me too. I want them to know I am waiting for them to join me when the time is right. We will all be together again.

Hi everyone, I may be gone but hopefully not forgotten. I miss my sister Arya, in the beginning I was not too sure about her but as time grew, I knew I had made a friend for life. We played tug together, chased birds and groomed each other. We loved lying next to each other next to the wood stove when it was cold. I sure miss my family.

09/23/2022

This was one of my favorite places to just lay around and do nothing which I was very good at. I know my family really misses me right now and want them to know that I am still around and waiting for them to join me again in Heaven. I am doing great and am running every day, I feel beautiful and am in no pain.

09/23/2022

I used to love just laying around on my property watching the birds and my brothers and sisters. I sure miss my family a lot but know they are ok..

09/21/2022

This was my favorite toy, mom and dad called it the precious :) I loved playing tug with mom and dad and my sister Arya. Tug was one of my favorite games. I know there are tug toys in heaven..

Thank you for never letting anyone hurt me, thank you mom and dad for teaching me sign language so we could understand each other as I was born deaf. Thank you, mom and dad, for letting me lick the plate after you were done eating, thank you mom and dad for always loving me until I took my last breath, thank you mom and dad for being with me during my journey to heaven, thank you mom and dad for talking to me like I was still there.

I miss my little brother. We used to spend a lot of time together when Mom and Dad were working or on their trips Pawsey was the best company. I miss all of my family.

09/16/2022

This is my brother Mr Pawsey, my dad found him in Terrebonne and called mom to see if we could adopt him. She said yes and I was so happy to have a little brother to keep me company when mom and dad were gone helping other dogs. We spent so much time together. I really miss him and hope he is not sad that I am not there.

09/15/2022

She was always a happy girl. We miss you.

09/12/2022

I used to love helping my dad workout. As you can see, I was a lot of help. I sure miss my family.

09/09/2022

I might be gone in my physical body but am still around and would love for you to stop by and say hi. My vet Dr Dani and her staff were so kind to me and helped me pass very peacefully. My mom and dad and brother Pawsey were with me to help my journey to the next life. I had such a great life with my mom and dad and all of my brothers and sisters. I could not have asked for a better family to spend my life with. I got to roam on trail walks with my mom dad and also went on great adventures during my life. I am forever grateful for everyone who loved me and took care of me including my sitter's auntie Paulette and my newest friend KellyAnn O'Dea Lingo. They took such good care of me when my mom and dad were gone on their adventures. I can't wait to see them again in the next life. Be prepared for kisses for ever. I miss all of you.
