So are the doggie sunglasses - Doggles

 

Here's Abby-girl in her "doggles"...giving her mean look!

[Jeepers]

If interested, May is having her babies. So far, five boys and one girl. No stillborns. 

 

The camera angle isn't great this time because of Covid. 

 

Check out some of the other channels while there. Lots of wildlife to study there.

She just had another little girl while I was posting this.  

Hopefully seven new service dogs to make someone's like easier. Free of charge.

MERRY CHRISTMAS from THE SERVICE DOG PROJECT. 

 

Sadly we lost their Santa to Covid this year. He was such a sweet man and a great Santa. A few of the dogs have gone to the rainbow bridge along with Mary the donkey. But we have so many new paws stepping up to keep the less mobile people mobile and upright. Blessings.

Oh, that was WONDERFUL to watch.  Sad tho...that this Santa won't be there this year.     Nor the donkey....who in one pic looked so much like Maggie Mae [tho she was a grey].  I laughed out loud on several of the pics. 

 

MtRider  ....thanks, Jeepers.

Just a quick update on some of the Service Dogs. All are doing well although a few have retired. Wendy/Hunter has retired and is now Hunter's pet. Hunter has another Service Dog from Service Dog Project and they are all doing wonderfully. They are in high school now, I think.

 

Connor is also doing great with his dog. I think they are in middle school now.

 

Bella and George Are still doing wonderfully. He is probably getting close to retirement age too. I think they are in high school too. 

 

Funny I keep up with the dogs but not the people.   

 

My Ethel is still in med school and probably will be until she retires. We have three in law school now and one getting his PhD. Danes only live about 10 years so....

 

We have a couple on 'Honeymoon Hill' so we anticipate puppies in about 65 days. Another lady is 'engaged' so it won't be long until she marries and goes on her honeymoon. Keeping it all PG. 

 

We got a video update from Rizz and her person. Person has MS. She took her little grandson out for a walk in his wagon and didn't have the energy to get back home. Here is what happened:

First time seeing this. Interesting.  My granddaughter in Washington state trains service dogs.  That is good that the dog could pull that little boy in the wagon. Good job.

I've always been curious about retired German Shepherd military/police dogs. I saw a piece about them about 10 (?) years ago? They were available to purchase from somewhere in TX or OK. When DH croaks, one of these trained dogs will be welcome in my home as protector and companion. 

[Jeepers]

I don't know about any other service dog organizations. I only know about the Service Dog Project. None of their dogs are ever for sale. All are donated free. The recipients sign an agreement that if their dog retires or if the person no longer needs one or dies, the dog is to come back to the farm. Unless they want to keep the dog as a pet. Most do. Only people Carlene knows personally or is a volunteer there can have one of the dogs who isn't service dog material. 

 

By the way, the service dog of a veteran gets free medical care!

[Littlesister]

Might be something for me to think about. Now that I am living alone.  Having another dog would be good.  I was was outside yesterday and my neighbor across the street got another puppy. That makes 2 dogs for them now. The first one is almost 2 years old.  I sort of fell in love with the puppy. Both dogs are labs. But not sure if I would want a lab as they are not the best watch dogs and protectors.  But they are so lovable. I would want to fence in the yard or at least part of the yard for a dog to be able to get outside when I can't take it walking. But that is something to think about at a later time.

Reese has gone into labor.

 

False alarm. Labor stopped so they are going to the hospital to make sure she is okay.

Reese had five beautiful puppies.  Big ones. Three girls and two boys. She had a C-Section and is already home. Momma and kids are doing great. Whew!

[Mt_Rider]

   More to grow up and change someone's life!!!

Reese's Pieces. 

One of these things is not like the others...

[Jeepers]

Not a dog, although the size of one of the Danes. 

 

This little Donklet was born at SDP this morning. Don't know the gender or name yet. She was on live camera but nosy Harley (another donkey) was standing in front of the camera so we didn't get to see until after it was out. Saw it's first little wobbly steps though.  

 

Yesterday we missed Reese's birthing because she had to go to the hospital for an emergency C-Section. Today we missed Kitty's birthing because of Harley hogging the camera. Not to fear. Sizzle has been on her 'honeymoon' so hopefully in about 65 days we can do it all over again.

Looks like someone (Anna) has been hitting the milk bar pretty hard today. What a little chunk. No wonder mom had to have a C-Section. Sheesh.

[Mt_Rider]

CUTE!

Josh and Daisy.

I thought this was so sweet. Daisy is keeping Josh out of a wheelchair and that is an awesome job she does. Josh might need saddle though.

Capri the Great Dane is having her puppies at The Service Dog Project.

I’ll have to read this whole thread to learn more about what this project is all about but I breed a rare and primitive breed of dogs myself on the farm and just had a litter 10 days ago

[Littlesister]

They are so cute.  You guys are making me want another dog really bad. But I really need to fence in yard first.

[Jeepers]

Darlene those are absolutely adorable.  

 

An 80+ year old woman breeds, raises, trains these Great Danes in her home. All on live camera that Charlie Annenberg from Explore dot org. installed. The good, the bad and the ugly. Except for the breeding part. That takes place on Honeymoon Hill privately. Her dogs now would cost over $25,000.00 each from start to finish. But she donates them all for free!  Veterans are always first in line to receive one of her dogs. Because they are a tall sturdy breed, they are used for people with mobility issues. One of her dogs won Service Dog of the Year a few years ago, given to a little girl. A number of children have received one of her dogs. They are genuine certified Service Dogs. If one doesn't quite measure up, they are considered a Perfect Pet and go live with someone that she knows. None are ever sold. 

 

I have helped to support the organization for around 10 years now. It's a beautiful thing.  I LOVE dogs. 

[Darlene]

That’s very beautiful Jeeps

[Mt_Rider]

Darlene....I showed your pic to DH and we both went Awwwwwwwww!  We miss Koa so bad sometimes.    Yeah, please don't tempt me!     

 

 

 

 

I love seeing these huge Danes helping the little kids to actually walk...safely....again.  Kind keeps the bullies away too, eh? 

 

MtRider  ....Too bad there aren't 100 Carlenes cuz I believe there is that much need.  She's really got the training system for the Dane personality.
