Zu späterer Stunde - die Temperaturen nähern sich so langsam wieder erträglichen 27 Grad - fiel mir ein #hashtag ein, der scheints nicht mehr so häufig gepostet wird, der #MähMittwoch! Na, wer kennt es noch?
Ein ganzer Kerl, dank . . .

The Australian National Sheep Dog Trial Championships wrapped up a couple of weeks back, with Ramulam Prickles being crowned champion. The result was quite the upset for border collie enthusiasts, as this is the first time in 70(ish?) years that a kelpie has taken the top spot.
Nevertheless, our champion remains nonchalant, taking the first available opportunity to leave the award ceremony and seek out some more sheep.
This photo was taken immediately after the award presentation. It had been a long and busy week for everyone, especially for the dogs and handlers who had competed in the finals, but our champ still looks bright eyed and ready to go.

We took the neighbours' dogs for their morning walk today. They are a funny bunch. Only 2 dogs want the stick, the rest are trying to watch each other.

Back at the yard trials again, we have an Australian Kelpie called Boof.
It was a hot, dry day and the sheep were being particularly cantankerous, but Boof took it all in his stride. With confidence, and a relaxed style, he was able to read the sheep and preempt every move. Slowly and calmly he guided the sheep with far more considered and methodical movements than some of the younger dogs were able to muster.
I feel this photo captures some of that easy-going and confident nature; no fear, no aggression, just getting the job done.

“I want his story to live on,” Mirarchi said. “So that’s how I pay it forward for him: to just keep telling his story. And if I keep doing that, then he’s always still here.”
-
The next day, #Hurricane visited the White House for the final time. Hurricane’s former #SecretService colleagues presented him with a plaque with his name on it & an American flag. Mirarchi declined to say whether Hurricane was euthanized, but after the White House visit, Mirarchi said he & about a dozen of his former colleagues gathered around Hurricane as he died.
-
But Mirarchi could tell this month that Hurricane’s days were short-lived. On Feb 11, #Hurricane flew on an American flag-themed Southwest Airlines plane from Colorado to Baltimore, where #SecretService members who worked with Hurricane greeted him outside his gate. Mirarchi rolled Hurricane in a wagon because he struggled to walk.

#Hurricane & Mirarchi received the Secretary’s Award for #Valor by the DHS, an honor that recognizes acts of #heroism, in Nov 2015.
In Sept 2016, Hurricane retired due to his health. While Hurricane loved playing with Kong toys, Mirarchi said he still trained Hurricane, who was accustomed to practicing.In Dec 2016, the Animal Medical Center in NYC named Hurricane one of its annual top dogs, covering his postretirement medical bills, Mirarchi said.

The suspect, 23-year-old Dominic Adesanya, was taken to a hospital with injuries from a dog bite. #Hurricane’s body was covered in bruises, bumps & blood, Mirarchi said, & he was taken to a veterinarian. Mirarchi said he worried Hurricane would die of his injuries.
The next day, the #SecretService posted photos of Hurricane & Jordan on social media & said a veterinarian cleared them to work. But Hurricane was never as nimble again, Mirarchi said. -
On Oct 22, 2014, #Hurricane was 6 yrs old when he spotted a man jumping the White House fence. The intruder fought off another #SecretService canine, Jordan, when he was about halfway across the North Lawn. But then Hurricane, who weighed more than 60 pounds, charged in for a brawl that lasted a few seconds before Hurricane knocked the man to the ground.
-
#Hurricane, who had a black coat & brown eyes, joined the #SecretService’s K-9 unit in November 2012 & was paired with Mirarchi. Hurricane underwent more than 4 months of training at the Rowley Training Center in Laurel, MD, learning to bite hard, jump high & react quickly to security threats. When Hurricane was promoted to guarding the White House, he jumped & spun in excitement from the back seat each time Mirarchi drove onto the property.
-
#Hurricane, who retired in 2016, won national & international awards for stopping the intruder.
“He could work & be the hardest, most ferocious, fearless dog,” said Mirarchi, 41. “And then two minutes later, he could be sitting in your lap, just wanting to get pet.” -
Now, Mirarchi is celebrating #Hurricane’s life. The 15-year-old died in Alexandria, Virginia, on Feb. 12, Mirarchi said.
Since the October 2014 incident at the White House, Mirarchi said he has tried to repay Hurricane for his loyalty, giving him lots of bacon-flavored treats & creating a nonprofit organization in his name to raise money for retired #law enforcement & #military dogs’ veterinary care.#DogsOfMastodon #dogs #WorkingDogs

[email protected] Have you noticed what wonders Christmas time does? Even the GPS works better than normal 👍! Medlin's been in heat, and she's been far more interested in lampposts than tracking, so I used the time to practise accuracy on ultra-short article tracks. This video is the first "normal" track in a while. The dog's track matches the layer's track with incredible precision! #mantrailing #scentwork #workingdogs #dogsofmastodon https://vhsky.cz/w/4PSBnWcsoHE5dQTP2UL44w
