I couldn’t resist including this photo of our Australian brothers! I saw it on Facebook this weekend and was in hysterics.

I’m with the dog about the cats…
Love the photos! (The last one is a favorite of mine.)
And I’m so appreciative of the folks who have stepped up in support of our guys and gals in uniform.
So different from 45+ years ago. Same with the dogs ~ as now they get to come back home and be honored and even adopted when retired.
Thank you for that bit of humor today. It made me laugh out loud!
And thank you for all you do to bring focus to the work, conditions and lives of our four-legged military heroes.
God Bless our troops!
Love the pictures, and the bits of information you share with us, Kevin. Your posts also remind me to pray for you all more often!!
God bless you!!

Thank you for your uplifting post. I’m such a huge animal lover and very partial to dogs. They’re such smart and affectionate animals. It’s so great that you have this amazing blog and that we get to have a small glimpse into your daily life. So glad I finally found your blog. I kept looking for it. My friend Adriana had recommended it to me via Tweeter.
Happy Thursday

Now how exactly did I miss seeing this “Aim for the Cat” photo?? (LOL) Thank you, definitely in hysterics (and I am sooooo much more a cat person than a dog person though I love all animals equally – not in an Animal Farm way either *haha*)

Thanks Debbie. We cherish our military dogs. An inside joke in the military is that we treat our MWD better than we do our troops!

I like cats as well (not as much as dogs of course) but I was in hysterics Saturday. A little comic relief in this crazy world is always welcomed!
