Good and Faithful Servant
The responsibility of a service dog never ends. This is Sully, President George H.W. Bush’s service dog. Sully came to the President from America’s Vet Dogs and assisted Bush in recent months, after he lost Barbara and was confined to a wheelchair.
This photo was taken at the funeral home in Houston the night before the casket was transported to Washington to lie in state in the Capitol. It was first published on Twitter with the caption “Mission Complete #Remembering41.”
America’s Vet Dogs will take Sully back for some retraining, then will place him in the dog program at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he will assist wounded soldiers and active-duty personnel.

And all are full of cheer,
But I lay freezing on the step,
I always sleep right here. Continue reading Please! No Puppies Under the Tree

RIP Mischief
Long-time readers of this blog may remember my friend’s dog, Mischief, who ate at least one couch with his brother, Mayhem. I’m sad to report that Mischief crossed the rainbow bridge this morning. Continue reading RIP Mischief
