On the personal side of things..........

Although local politics hasn't exactly been at the top of the list the last few weeks, I do “have a life” outside of this:

After four years of training diligently my German Shepherd Dog Jaz finally attained her Shutzhund I title in a trial held in Pungo, Virginia in May. Loues Vandepool of Belgium was the judge.

We obtained her obedience (BH) title about two years ago. In these trials each dog is judged on tracking, obedience, and protection. With the exception of tracking, all other routines are conducted “off-lead”.

Last month we helped our son Dave and his fiancée Kali move from Wilmington, NC to the Ft. Lauderdale, FL area for his new job as mate on a private sport fishing boat. His previous employer, George Sawley was recently featured in a “Top Five Captains” article in Marlin magazine.

In the August issue of Saltwater Sportsman, Dave can be seen in action, in his element in the “Top Shot” two page photo. He's the one in the white t-shirt in the foreground.
