So, it seems everyone is talking about the Seahawks game last night, and the blown call at the end of the game. I'm not a football fan, but it looks like the officials blew it. They just plain BLEW IT. 'nuff said, that's all I'm going to say.
I wanted to say a few words about service dogs today. If you know someone who has a service dog, or if you have one... give that dog a hug sometime. Those dogs go through a lot of training, and so do their handlers/trainers. My wife is on her third. The first one, Bailey, went blind in one eye, and wasn't able to keep working. T.J. wasn't suitable for service work. This happens sometimes, for various reasons.
Azure, on the other hand, is about 17 months old, and is really doing well. He's been on an airplane already, been to hockey games, and all over town. The trick is to start them early, and that really pays off. If you are in the Portland area and want more information, I can connect you with All is Pawsible Service Dog School. I work with the program director, and can pass along contact info.
Keep on truckin'!

So, this is my first attempt at this. No doubt, things will get easier as I keep up the writing, but for tonight, I'm still trying to figure it all out. So please... be patient.
I'm married, 2 kids, 3 service dogs at home, and a huge collection of hockey books. That's something you'll discover as the days go by; I'm a huge hockey nut. Whether it's reading about the game, following the sorry state of the NHL, or going to our local team's games... I'm keeping up with it.
Living here in Portland, OR... we don't have an NHL team close by, but we do have the WHL, the Western Hockey League. It's a developmental league, and the players are aged 16 to 20 years old. They're trying to get seen by the pros, get drafted, and move up the ranks.
There's a lot going on around here, but I'll try to keep it fairly simple for the most part. No one wants to read when I ramble.
That's going to be about it for the first post, thanks for your patience. Hang in there... things will improve by the day.
