To start, she loves the out doors and she loves following moose around and taking their pictures. I never did hear of anyone who was so infactuated with Moose.
Once they had a bomb scare and she was one of the ones who had to go in the basement to look for the bomb. (Shhsh don't tell her family about that, they would be so upset)
One day, just after her little sister died, (no reason, she just up and died) My Vickie decided that she needed to leave the mental health field and started her own little doggy day care alternative boarding facility. www.caninecountryclub.biz That has been the greatest decision of her life.
Her first partner was the first NON-German Shepherd used in the United States as a search dog. (Long time ago) He was a collie....yep a collie named Andy. (Vickie is the dark haird girl on the right) (one of few pictures ever taken of her.) It was during a search in Cour d'Alene Idaho.
then there was my precious Jamie. She is a border collie and she was/is an amazing search dog and my mentor. she is very old now and she mostly sleeps all day but boy, the stories My Vickie could tell about their great adventures.
Finally the one and only ME.....My Vickie swares that I am the last of the search dogs in this family so I need to work really hard to be wonderful, although My Vickie tells me all the time that I am already as wonderful as the rest, even though we don't get to go on as many searches. I have more jobs than my previous four legged friends and I am keeping My Vickie busy in many ways.
2. Tell at least one of the following things about them: What your peeps do/did for a living; Your peeps' special hobby/talent; Your favorite thing to do with your peeps; Something serious and special about your peeps; Something funny and special about your peeps.
Something serious and special..and something funny....well, I think I have already talked long enough so maybe someday I'll tell you about her first official search with Andy......it is the most funny thing ever.....just a hint, She beleives in Big Foot.......and on her first search she was choppered in and left all alone (well with Andy) in a remote wilderness area in the San Juan Mountains...You know....Big Foot Country......
so there you have it......
thanks Sarge for the idea. It was tough to get her to do it, since she is the one who types for me.....but there you go.
Hope everyones week is going wonderfully.
Love
Bert

Your Vickie is a very special lady, Bert. She sure does a lot of wonderful things for others and for you too. We like it when we get time with the Momster alone too.
We would love to hear the rest of the Big Foot story - please don't keep us waiting too long:)
Happy weekend.

Wow. Your Vickie sounds like a very interesting person! Am waiting anxiously to know more about the Big Foot adventure. :)
Your Vickie sure sounds like a great lady. How brave to leave her profession and start on a whole new venture. But it has worked out great, right? And no more crazy humans to scare her (well except maybe crazy dog ladies).
Slobbers,
