The CAPS Center sponsored "De-Stress with Dogs Day" on Wednesday, October 15 for some de-stressing time with our furry friends.
Boxers are related to the bulldog breed of dogs, and are more commonly brown in colour. This one white with black markings is quite unusual. Boxers were first exhibited in Germany in 1895.
This is Bonnie. Bonnie has been a part of our family for almost 10 years now. She shows so much emotion in that face of hers you always know what she's thinking. Today she pinched a towel off me and laid down on it then looked at me and literally just laughed. What can you do but just laugh back!
You can just see his skanky tennis ball that he likes to watch bounce down every tread. Then he barks :)
The African wild dog is highly endangered, with fewer than 5000 remaining in the wild, primarily in Tanzania (selous) South Africa (kruger) and botswana (chobe) with smaller extant populations elsewhere such as the Luangwa parks in Zambia. The prime reason for their endangered status is human overpopulation as wild dogs need an enormous hunting range which isn't possible in many places in 21st century Africa
Boy waiting to join in on the action !

Recently BLM hosted the Whid Isle and Inland Empire Brittany Clubs to run dogs on two different "courses" in what are called braces. The courses included Puppy, Derby, Gun Dog, and All-Age. The dogs ran on Goose Butte in the BLM’s Spokane District. This has been the site for field trials for three Brittany Clubs for more than a decade. The most recent trial included with competitors from Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, California and Canada!
John Henderson, a handler and judge for different braces said this BLM location is fantastic for the trials. "
First of all, it's centrally located for a lot of the club members and it's a great place to let the dogs loose. The folks here from southern California and the west side of Washington and Oregon don't have anything like this near them. These two courses are so big and it's chukar habitat so the birds we release feel at home," said Henderson.
Henderson said more than 500 birds were released over the three trials so the Brittanys could demonstrate their ability to find birds, point staunchly and remain steady to wing and shot. Most field trial dogs are handled from horseback because these patches of BLM land are too rough and expansive to cover on foot.
