A hug in the ring for a job well done !!

Farm finds....

Special thanks to "Sniffer" friends for coming out to do the farm finds with Ben on Friday 10/22...

I set up some pretty challenging stuff for him and couldnt be happier, not sure the chickens were all that happy- but only a few feathers were ruffled in the searching :) and I'm sure they will get over it- or maybe lay an extra egg from stress.

Looking forward to the weekend !

Sunday 10/24 Rainy Training day.................

Search training was terrific on Sunday despite all the rain.

After getting settled with all the raw food for the dogs and getting it all passed out and picked up....... we headed out to work all the dogs in Trenton, especially the youngsters on bush finds ! What a great time they had and didnt mind the weather at all !

That's our last USAR work with Ben before the FSA test on 10/30...... he is on R & R now till the weekend... 

Lots of fun and great stew and company afterward !

HUSAR K9 Training

Had a great day Wed training in Bolton with the HUSAR (Heavy Urban Search and Rescue) OPP K9 dogs.

Ben had a great work out and Vorey got to do some running around on the rubble. 


Perfect fall day for training with lots of good hides for my floppy eared fellow !

Faza z. Podvihorlatu, Type1 FEMA USAR, SchH3 2008 CDN Nationals, CGN

Faza died peacefully on Monday after complications with uterine infection and bladder in final stages of DM. 

I am so thankful for all the time we had together through thick and thin- she was always there as my partner and even more as my very best friend. 

I thank God for the extra time she was able to spend in my life and for her strong spirit and determination in all she did ! 

Rest easy and run free now -

More Beach Days at Lake Ontario

 Today was another beautiful day at the beach with good friends and good dogs !

Air Base Search and Rescue Demo

We had a great day yesterday doing a demo at the air base for Search and Rescue Family Day. They had a wonderful event with all kinds of things, the Falconer that clears the air base, cup cake & pumpkin decorating for kids, a petting zoo, lazer paint ball, and blow up playgrounds.... and of course wonderful food !!

We did a search set up with 3 bark barrels with Ben, Hardy and Vorey and directionals with Ben and Hardy. It was terrific since there was a large crowd which was behind the demonstration areas.. all the dogs did really well ! It was a lot of fun to wear the "Brittany Spears" microphone headset ! - I have to get one of those for my classes !





 Here are some photos of Ben and Vorey with the helicopter rides.....
