The Boardinghouse #1

I have been advised that maybe I should introduce you all to the members of The Boardinghouse...this is Toothless. His name is Jean Luc...yes after JL Picard...He is sitting in our dog transfer unit in a Penske truck supervising the move from the Rainy to the Plains.  This year he is 22 years old, he is a cross between a longhaired chihuahua and a papillion...sort of like a cross between Sean Connery and Sir Lawerence Olivier. 

He is trained to be a Disaster Service Dog and works with the CISD/CISM teams to help relieve some of the stress so that those of us who run to the fire can get back on the job quickly.

He, himself, is a rescue dog...he has three working legs and the other he uses when his is in amorous mode and wishes to hug.  He has helped me teach the inner workings of thanatology to police, fire and rescue and also Citizen Emergency Response Teams. 

He will always be my best friend...he knows too much.

  1. Yes he really is a good looking dog...and he really knows us more than we care to admit. But that's the risk we assume when they take on the responsibility of ordering their human's lives.
    Pictures are a great way to build the story, I enjoy your story!
