Search And Rescue Dog Training Demonstration

I can’t believe I missed the Search And Rescue Dog Training Demonstration and it was held right here in my back yard in Irvine, CA.  Also, to make matters worse, one of our Orange County guide dog career changed puppies, Wyler (now called Wiley) was one of the Search and Rescue Dog demonstrators.

My Pension Vs Police Dog Pension

Well it’s not comparison since I won’t receive a pension if I continue my current day job.  I do save up for retirement and occassionally receive matching on my 401(K).  I really shouldn’t complain and should be happy to have a job through this economy.
I was pleased to read that even during these tough times [...]

How Would You Advertise Guide Dogs?

How about Street Pole Ads?  It wasn’t my first choice either, but then again I can’t say that I would know the best way to market and advertise a business in South Africa.  Once again sifting through my RSS feed I came across an interesting article on Street Pole ads highlights SA Guide Dogs plight.  [...]
