Fons’ new playmate is proud that she can walk her dog in heel position.
What milk? I don’t remember seeing any milk.
Fons wouldn’t leave his KONG toy. He couldn’t believe he could have it whenever he wanted.
Last morning at the military kennel before Fons headed to his new home.
Hubby loved playing with these dogs. A special new KONG toy for a special new life in retirement.

Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Jeremy Aldrich, attached to Naval Security Force, K-9 Unit, and his military working dog Tyson a four-year-old Blue Belgium Malanois, take a little break for some fun at the obstacle course on base. Aldrich has worked with Tyson for 18 months in support the base mission in providing security to the base and the Mina Salman pier. (This is an older photo, but wanted to share because I like it so much and wanted to shout out to the handler!)

U.S. Marine Corps Lance Cpl. Jason J. Scribner and his military working dog, Streek, attend an outdoor concert given by Avalanche, the 10th Mountain Division’s rock band, at Camp Leatherneck in Helmand province, Afghanistan, May 28, 2011.

Thank you Jason and Streek for your work in Helmand Province. We love this great photo.
(BTW, love the name Avalanche, how appropriate for a band from the 10th Mountain Division.)
What a great day today. Thanks to the technology of Facebook, we were able to learn that our care packages arrived in a tiny outpost in Afghanistan today. Made me smile to think that two hard working dogs will have new toys and treats today and that two hard working handlers will know they’ve been remembered. Love you guys.
MWDTSA made its way to Fort Benning for the presentation of Governor Deal’s original 2011 Military Dog Handler Day Proclamation.

Enjoy the photos. Thanks to all of our friends at Fort Benning and all of the folks attending. What an awesome day. We did miss those handlers who are currently deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with one who is in pre-deployment mode. AND, always miss, Von Loh, who will remain part of my Fort Benning memories, even if he is stationed elsewhere in the world 🙂
