I saw that. It’s cute.

[Brad’s Gramma]

She’s got white on one of her paws, too....or is that her sister? I forget now. Ya know, once you see one paw...

:)

[freekitty]

LOL One of mine has a white streak down his front.

Good afternoon/evening, Pusterfuss...((HUGS))...another bright, blue, sunshiny day.

Gonna see the boys this weekend?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, E...((HUGS))...hope you had a good Friday.

[MozartLover]

Ev sent me a pic of his room and a note; thought you might enjoy it.:)

"It's a little spartan I guess. Having a T.V., DVD player and a fridge has become part of the baseline normal equipment on most of the bigger bases. Guys buy them & then sell them dirt cheap to the guys who replace them, who turn around and do the same, so that by the time it gets to the fifth or sixth guy money no longer changes hands & you basically hand off the furniture with the keys to the room. That's why I have a steelers sticker on my fridge. Still gotta replace that. Maybe you could send a Green Bay one. Anyway, there it is- You can't see it, but I also have a vintage (looking) Gadsden & Culpepper "Don't Tread On Me" snake flag over my window."

Good evening, Arrowhead...((HUGS))...still triple digits, bummer. Maybe one the hurricanes or tropical things will bring you some rain? Without damage, of course.

GERMAN SHEPHERD PING LIST

This is a low-volume list………so don’t worry!

(Please Freep-mail me if you’d like to be on or off the list.)

[the OlLine Rebel]

Thanks, dervish! I’ve been very remiss about looking for GS articles.

[the OlLine Rebel]

“no other dog is as good at EVERY category as the German Shepherd. Period. Intelligence, Speed, Strength, Tracking, Protection, Obedience, etc. No other dog has that combination of strengths.”

Amen. Add to that the reason GS came to being and the root of their name - they are SHEEP-HERDERS.

Also, they “INVENTED” virtually all those jobs dogs do now. Police, military (search before “guard”, etc), blind guides, etc.

You can’t beat these dogs, period. There is simply no better breed.

(BTW, if you want to be part of the GS ping, let me know. ;-) )

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mozie. What a great picture!

So.....did you send him a Packers sticker yet?

[GnuHere]

Thx for the ping! Anybody have an idea how we can send a doggie/handler care pkg to these guys? I did that once several yrs ago. I see they mention the name of the unit but I’m not sure how to get it there...

[MozartLover]

No.:)

I just got the picture and note today.:)

BUT.................I'm going to the game tomorrow night so I can stop at the Packer Pro Shop and pick one up.:)

[MozartLover]

Oh, and in keeping with today’s theme, wanted to tell you that Ev’s unit “adopted” a dog; I believe she had belonged to the group they replaced, who had named her Lucy; coincidentally, the same name as Ev & Katie’s dog.:-)
