WORDLESS WEDNESDAY
(not so wordless this week!)
We had a "spouses' day" at my husbands company. He's the commander for the Engineer K9 Company. They have dogs that detect MDD/SSD (in other words, mines). Its such a unique company, I wanted to know more and let other spouses see that as well. It was a wonderful day and it went just as planned! Here are a few pictures:.jpg)
We were paired up with a handler and their dog for the day. This dog is Deno (dee-no)
We took them out for their walk, then cleaned their kennels
Next was the canine first aid, trying our hand on a fake dog leg
(I'm the red-head!)
Doing physical exams
And trying our hand in the dirty work.....I let someone else get "hands-on"
Poor dog got many "examinations" that day. Can't imagine whats going through his head!
Then they showed us how they train the mine dogs in their lanes....really cool!

I love the new header!!
That's so neat!
And the dogs are definitely life savers. My friend's son did 2 tours. On one of them, he got left behind and only had his dog for the night, in the winter. His dog dug a hole, put the soldier in it and slept on top of him. The both survived!
Thanks for sharing and tell your husband thanks for what he does!
boy I gotta say that looks pretty awesome!!!
Looks very interesting and informative. Thanks for hosting and Happy WW!
