Dogs & Diving

[icemyst7]

I don't have any dogs. But a friend of mine takes her dogs diving with her and I mean with her. She has full diving gear for both dogs. I never knew that dogs could dive.

I bet they didn't either!

So I gave up and now she stays home alone. (So, goody-two-shoes, is that better for her?)

Now thats my problem too! I would love to take my "hunny" diving, but she doesnt have any manners. I took her with me when my Dad was in the hospital. Parked in a covered parking area, put the windows down 3 inches, gave her water, and locked her in her transport box. She barked and cryed, and some "GOODIE TWO SHOES" called the pound. The pound came and got her OUT OF MY CAR, and carted her off to the shelter. It was at least 110 in the shelter. Stunk to high heaven and I had to pay 25.00 to get her out!

Damsel - believe me, I know exacly how you feel!

you wouldn't happen to have a pic of that would you...rofl.

unfortunately no pics of that yet, because I play the role of both photographer and driver! In the name of safety, I generally give precedence to the driving.

The tactical training was to orient the handler and K9 partner to real life tactical situations. We had the usual tracking, drug searches, bite work that we normally train for work PLUS we did live fire exercises on the shooting ranges, explosive/door breeching w/ dogs in the stagger line....Heck...we even took them through the Army obstacle course.

Here's one of Elvi and I on one of the shooting exercises. We start from a position of cover/concealment, down and stay the dog and then the handler runs and guns to the next point of cover while the dog is in a down/stay. Elvis was the only dog that didnt break and run during the exercise. DAD WAS VERY PROUD!!!

Cool pic too--note the brass flying through the air!!!!!!
