I believe that Onco went back to the kennel where he was purchased.

He's a fine handsome fella! Made cry in remembrance of my twin brother when we were in the academy back in '73.

Any new developments with Erok?

PF...that is a gorgeous dog. He is a wonderful specimen. The pictures of you and your dog are very nice, too.

Our remaining 3 dogs are doing well. The chi is past 20, almost totally blind, a little hard of hearing, but will chase after the wolf mix when stomped on. Wolf mix is almost 9, now. Lab/Greyhound is almost 17, we think. He's a little bit slow getting up in the mornings and his arthritis kicks in a bit.

Mae, all we lack is the wolf in mix in our controlled chaos. Lucky the pom-X is (est.)16, blind, deaf, & too dumb to get out from under my feet, but he still lets Riley the Lab/Blue Heeler know when she's intruding on his space. Riley looks very like your lab/grey, with tiny little feet & legs supporting the big bulky lab body. Fortunately she's still young & strong, but very touchy about her feet.

scotzoid...sounds like the controlled insanity around here. :) Smaller dogs usually seem to be a bit more gutsy than the big ones.

It seems the insanity of reality can create a gap in a black hole.:sad: Sorry to have left this wither away when craziness camped out with me for a while and this thread merited more than quick quips as a posts. Too soon the purpose disappeared but a recent post from a Pixie in another thread sparked new life, so here goes.

To nut-shell, the next four weeks of residence training went in textbook fashion. Both the handler and partner seemed to sense the need to capitalize on the time in the training program together. They ended in the middle of the class with the two disciplines of "aport" [search] and "zoos" [track] and at the top in bite training 'pocken" [attack] (which includes speed, determination and most import, quickness to "plotz" [down]).

Erok received his formal commission on October 25th in a little ceremony the local politicians used to their advantage. :hair: You can see that his sense of smell includes recognizing bullshit.;)

He has now become a very much loved member of the family during off hours and you can see that the 'bonding' is complete between handler and partner.

It is amazing how he is reacts when it is 'work time' and the harness goes on as 'Dad' puts on his uniform each day. He truly goes from a playful family pet to a serious working dog.

In the picture "LapDog," was he laying there or finishing lunch. :D

:roflmao:

I was told that candid cell phone pic was taken while they were watching TV.

Dum-de-dump dump.

Erok's the name. I carry a badge.

Dum-de-dump-dump-dummmmmm...

It's good to hear (read?) that all is going well and that the training was successful. Definitely seems that they have the right dog with right person. Tell them I said good luck and I hope they do well for long years to come.

Great pics PF....love the lap dog pic and especially the pic with his badge!

Gorgeous pics, PF.

Wonderful pics, PF. He looks very happy and proud. And, enjoys using his "dad" as a lap quilt. :)
