Weekend Update October 24, 2009

This week we had a graduation! Our first class at the Franklin Lakes VFW finished a fun six week basic course. Here are the graduation photos!

This week Daryn Kagan posted this wonderful video on her site about Baxter, a 19 year old therapy dog that is still helping people. It brought a tear to my eye.

On a related note, Senator Al Franken’s bill for service dogs for wounded veteran’s is one step closer to being a law!

In the “this is surprising?” department, many people say they would attempt CPR on their dogs. Duh. Here’s a video on how!

Last, check out this week’s post on Dog Star Daily for some information on the evolution of the domestic dog.

Have a great weekend!

  • No fair making me cry at work! That video of Baxter was so touching.

    For those interested in learning CPR and other first aid for their pets, check out your local Red Cross, many of them offer a course!
  • I'm sorry....but I can't promise it won't happen again. :-)

    I heard the RC classes are good. They keep getting canceled in my area.

  • Great wrap up; you’ll laugh, you’ll cry RT @dogspelledfwd Weekend Update October 24, 2009 http://bit.ly/3TJ9qb #dogs #dogtraining
