FIRST: We got the little puppy for my grandchild and she's in dog heaven! She is up early each morning before get ready time for school to see where her little Princess is and what she is doing. She has the run of the upstairs area hallway and bathroom. We got pads down ti two places and feed her 2 or 3 times a day. She poops twice a day usually on the pad in the bathroom. I got a page of the newspaper folded to hit her butt when it's not on the pad and a puppy dog bone biscuit when he minds and use the pad. However she is just 8 weeks old today so I can't expect much.as I'm not a trainer. Thanks to the Internet I have learned a lot in taking care of a Shih Tzu puppy!
The main thing is the child is happy and still doing great in school classes. She wants very much to take her to school for show & tell but that may not happen until she is fully trained. I suppose we as adults can never really say what we will or will not do for our kids or grand kids! So therefore my retirement has ended again! I'm now officially a dog trainer without pay! Then I discovered that kind of dog carries a high price tag if you were to purchase one. This one is full breaded so I plan to register her in the AKA!

SECOND; I'm still working with the wounded warriors returning from Afghanistan wounded. I see them off load from the planes and I get to meet each one of them at the hospital on the base. Those that opt to retire or get medically discharged, I see them at the VA hospital in Temple, Texas about 25 miles away. So, if you don't see me on the board you know I'm working with them or attending funerals of them every few days. Two were killed yesterday but I don't know at this point where they will go!
On the other hand the Highway Patrols have to direct traffic going into the military post each morning, noon and evening! The traffic is horrendous now that most of our troops are back home since December 30th as Obama promised they would! I really feel the pressures of the young families having to meet their loved one in a different state of physical health as when they departed to the war zones! I think they get a feeling of succeeding once they see me on a scooter there greeting their return in their wounded state of health.
I have to tell them I also suffered a stroke four years after I returned from the Vietnam war! Well, I hate to keep blogging about wars or wounded but that's all I'm faced with lately and it hurts me to see the young kids hurt for life!
Fred!
