Thank you all! They do have a website:

Hyco K9 Fund | Be Strong

I fully plan on participating again next year. This is our second race and while we’re not seriously competitive, I do try to do better each time. That being said I don’t train -at all- lol and the last time I ran was in our first race in June!

I think our next one is a Santa run in December around Christmas, it’s not advertised for dogs but I inquired about it and was told they are allowed.

Yesterday I gave Buddy a frozen beef bone outside. He was a happy camper for about an hour. I called him in for supper, fed them and then let them both back outside.

Immediately, both of them were looking for that bone! Buddy had left it outside in the grass when he came in. I was watching them and saw my little Hunter, Kali, find it first! I swear she's got a great nose! Buddy will never fight her for it. He's such a gentleman! And she was not giving it up either. Her hackles were raised and she was busy chewing. Until I walked out there and took it away. That was Buddy's bone. I took Kail back into the house where she raced back and forth in the house from the front to the back, looking for Buddy and the bone. When he came up on the deck, oh she was excited!


Nanananana, I got it and you don't!



Oooo, she puts on a good front! Looks at her little hackles! LOL All the way up her neck!


See ya!

Wait, where ya goin'??


To be fair, I did give her a chance to have it later on.

VERY- expensive, think around 10k

They are only about $500-700. We work with a local organization to raise money for working dogs. It's called Dogs on Duty Dogs on Duty - Support Working Dogs They hold events all the metro area and own a couple license offices where most of the proceeds go to working dogs.
Copied from their website
About The Dogs On Duty License Offices
When you visit a Dogs On Duty license office, you are doing more than just renewing your plates. With every visit, you are helping contribute to the our mission of helping working dogs have a more comfortable environment for their every day jobs.

With your plate renewal, driver’s license updates, and other fees, 75% of the proceeds go out into the community, allowing us to further our mission of helping working dogs. We encourage you to visit one of our license offices listed below, and help contribute to our mission, without spending any more money than you normally would to make sure your vehicle-related expenses are in order.

As you can see, they raise a lot of money from there. We use those offices exclusively.

We started in 2013 (I think?) where Drake and Greta would do an obedience routine to show the importance of training your dog. Now Rumor does demos showing examples of her service dog work. She raises money for people in need of a service dog as well as teaches people the importance of leaving the dog alone to do their work. Working dogs from all over come to the events also to do demos and it attracts lots of attention and money. When the K9 officers show up, you don't want to have anything illegal in your pockets. I have seen that happen.

It’s in honor of a K-9 named Hyco who lost his life in the line of duty, due to not having the proper protection gear. Surprisingly there is very little funding available for the police dogs and Kevlar vests for dogs are -VERY- expensive, think around 10k!

Our PD did a fundraiser this past summer for the very same reason so I bought a couple of shirts to support them. It's funny but I was wearing one of them in the Hartford, CT airport and some lady walking behind me said "go Hibbing". Boy did that get my attention when I wasn't expecting it so far from home. LOL

@GennyB that sounds more realistic to me, I can’t say where but I swear I heard someone say they were astronomical in price. Maybe it was in a dream lol

I really enjoyed myself even though the weather left little to be desired, and I liked seeing all the different kinds of dogs. Some of you may remember that Brinks sliced his toe so badly in March that it severed three of his ligaments and will never be the same. There was a Belgian Malinois there with the SAME toe on the same foot, I didn’t notice it until I saw pictures posted in their Facebook. Otherwise I would’ve asked the owner about it!

 

[Viemarangelrock]

@Brioddy, just a little something but every little helps!

 

[Brioddy]

@Viemarangelrock you are amazing! Thank you so much! Every little bit does certainly help, and what better cause than protecting the dogs whose job is to protect us? Major appreciation!

 

[Rodyboy]

I fell out with my snake after workout

 

[jazzies mum]

@Brioddy Great work with the fundraising run!

HALLOWEEN! We get there a little earlier than most of you, except NZ!
Jazzie seems to be channelling an Afghan Hound!

 

[Brioddy]

Monday we had a pack walk in a state forest in N.C., one of my friends has a female GSD who is a dwarf. It’s rare but there is a dwarfism gene in the breed. She’s five months younger than Rio at a year but tiny! She’s also very sweet but I’d guess she’s no more than 25-30 lbs.

 

[AresMyDobie]

Such a model.

 

[Viemarangelrock]

Trick or treat?

 

[MyBuddy]

It's been snowing and blowing all day. Not a lot has stuck but just enough to be annoying.

 

[jazzies mum]

Finally got some pics from back when Jazz and I were on holiday. Jazz and Bailey played tug with the sausage string all around the back yard, not a growl or grumble to be heard!

 

[MyBuddy]

Mom, he's opening his door by himself again!



Wat you staring at??

 

[LifeofRubie]

@Brioddy I saw that dogs toe and had to do a double take to make it wasn't Brinks! How bizarre they have the same injury!

@MyBuddy most of the morning was 'snowing and blowing' but it finally started to stick around 1p or so. It was actually quite pretty on my way to work this morning! Fresh white snow, colorful leaves on the trees, and the sun shining with no clouds!

Moo loved the weather yesterday. Rubie was no where to be found, though, when the back door opened


We did get Trick Or Treaters but probably only a third of what we did last year. We were telling them to each take a handful of candy and still have a ton left. Dog Dad discovered that you can set your Nest doorbell up to make spooky sounds when someone rings it, inside and outside, which was pretty fun. The dogs go excited over the first several visitors but then learned that if they sat to the side, they got treats treats treats and settled down.

Gotta love how I can take a break when puppy gets drowsy for his 3pm nap. Like clockwork.




This is Larry, a long nose hawkfish. First fish in my new reef tank. This guy has a ton of personality and is able to turn his whole head to look at you. Kinda crazy to be honest.

 

[Brioddy]

@Lizbeli I love hawkfish! I sometimes miss having a saltwater set up but then I remember how much work they are. Lol! I also especially like the hermits and shrimp. I even had a mantis shrimp at one point, now those are some really cool critters but he ate everything else in there.

Oh and Jasper is super sweet, as usual.
