Today is Memorial Day in the United States of America

I repost this story every year, because soldier dogs are truly amazing heros and we must always honor our troops and our service animals and all the fallen spirits that have been taken, for oh, too many reasons. Take a moment, right now, just a few seconds, and be thankful for the wonderful service people that work so hard to stop some really terrible things from happening around the world.
Look at these faces!

It is so sad without Mommy.
Even though Sonya has some great dogs to play with, it is hot, and I want my Mommy! – Sad Sofie Bear
(Note: Sonya, the dogs’ caretaker, sends me pictures sometimes when I am away. She said “Sofie wants to know when January cold weather is coming back.” Oh boy, Sofie is in for a long dog summer. Hang in their SoSo I will be home Friday.- Mom)

animals-animals-animals: Dusky Moorhen (by 0ystercatcher)
What an incredible shot. Caught either landing or taking off, I can’t tell. Moorhens, sometimes called marsh hens or river chickens, are medium-sized water birds that are members of the rail family. Found in New England mostly. – DogDaz
