Life in K-9 (11)

Today is a mourning day for K-9.. one of our collegue pass away due to a traffic accident.. and this is the first time i witnessed a state funeral minus the rifle firing in the air.. we stand along side of the road when the hearse pass, we give a salute.. after the service, we give another salute to him..

may his soul rest in peace.. and three salute to him..

today is practically a sad day for me.. i was assigned to another dog named Blacky.. as Mito is now back to his previous handler to train him for tracking.. a method only found in General Purpose Guide Dog. Now i got 5 dogs to visit whenever im free or after training.. 3 from my previous team.. 1 is Mito and another one is Blacky.. now i have to build up the rapport again.. and again my affection for Mito has just began to develop and have to do it again for Blacky.. overall it back to square 1.. argh.. i hate that..

if my trainer blames me that Blacky didnt listen to my commands.. i will shoot back stating back that the rapport is not there yet..

this saturday going back to base to do kennel duty.. will definitely take all the 5 dogs out to take photo.. or else i might not have the chance again.. i will only take 4 dogs.. the other dog is Bobby.. not really that close to him..
