Northwest Ohio Trailing K9 Rhea

Life gets crazy

We are always rushing

Working

Doing something

And you forget

Take things for granted

Don't slow down and enjoy the little moments

Like this

This is her happy place

Just relaxing

Watching nature

Enjoying her window tv

And today I stopped

Slowed down

And just enjoyed watching her enjoying the little things in life

So I made a coffee and we sat together and looked out the window together enjoying nature

This is a memory I will cherish forever 🩷

Rip good boy

This one truly breaks my heart. K9 Kylo of the Portland Police Bureau was killed during the apprehension of a murder suspect on 9/24. It was Kylo's last shift before retirement. I cannot fathom the hell his handler is going through. Absolutely horrible. Rest easy Kylo. 😪

My human left me with the other human. 🙄🐾

I was prepared to be devastated. I had plans to stare sadly out the window, refuse all forms of comfort, and make sure everyone knew I’d been abandoned.

Anyway… as you can see, things have taken a terrible turn. I’m being forced to snuggle on the couch, soak up the sunshine, and receive unlimited attention. Please respect my privacy during this difficult time. 😂

From “Who’s the new girl?” to Chief Kettle Korn Quality Control Officer. 🐕🌽😂

I’ve come a long way, folks. I’ve learned to work hard, be brave, trust my humans, and handle all kinds of new situations.

And apparently all that training has finally paid off… because today I was promoted to guarding the FREE SAMPLES. 😎

I take this assignment very seriously. No suspicious kernels. No unauthorized snacking. And yes, I will need to personally inspect several samples for safety purposes.

Look how far I’ve come. ❤️🐾

Professional good girl. Amateur kettle korn inspector.

You absolutely crushed your training search and now refuse to leave without your emotional support contraption. 😂🐾

“Dad said if I made the find, I could be in charge for the rest of training…

So naturally, I took his hat. 🧢🐾😂

Don’t worry, Dad—I’ll make sure you get plenty of praise when you do something right too. 💙

Today’s lesson: commitment to odor. 👃🐾

My nose said my victim went THAT way.

The tree said, “Nope.” 🌳

I said, “Cute.” 😏

Over I went, back on odor, and on to my victim.

Nose on. Tree down. Human found. Next. 😎🐾

I don’t have a profound 9/11 post; it was well before I was born!

However, dad seemed to be a little more somber today. He told me that I was a good dog, and that you have to always appreciate the moments you have with friends, families, and co-workers because you never know when something will change that.

In all seriousness, take pause and appreciate the people that are in your life. Remember those that were lost this day, and those since the attack.
