July CampNaNoWriMo
I talk about National Novel Writing Month here a bit more often than perhaps a dog blog warrants but, I'm sure you'll forgive me. Other doggie content will happen this week, don't you worry. Also don't worry if I drop my current Monday through Friday posting schedule for awhile; I'm perfectly all right, just embroiled in another project.

Does your dog work? Should your dog work?
On Terrierman's Daily Dose, he wrote a great post lately entitled "And What is the Work of Your Dog?" His is a blog that I read frequently but do not often comment on. I don't know about working terriers. My dog experience is largely and completely related on this blog, and doesn't amount to much when compared with others, both on and off the blogosphere.
It's a very good question, though. Dogs only recently became our couch adornments (I mean, other than the toy breeds, whose whole point is to be couch adornments). Pretty much every breed was created for a purpose, some more specific than others. It's worth looking at the history of your breed, and considering your expectations of your dog, and how their lives go.

Book Review: Soldier Dogs, by Maria Goodavage
I anticipated the publication of Soldier Dogs for a long time. Not only am I a working dog nerd (which yes, extends to military working dogs) but I also read Dogster.com daily, and Maria Goodavage is the news editor there. When I didn't win Dogster's giveaway for the book, I ordered it through the library to check out and looked forward to its arrival. I'm leaning towards buying it; I really did quite like it.

Military Working Dogs
I've mentioned before, I think, that I'm a nerd for working dogs.
I'm fascinated by dogs performing work duties, be it something they were bred for (Border Collies herding sheep), or something they were taught to do (Dobermans as Service Dogs). A dog performing work that he or she loves is a beautiful thing to watch, and a good dog-human partnership is a well-oiled machine.
Military Working Dogs fall into this category, of course. In fact, there are around 2, 300 dogs currently deployed by the U.S. Military to perform a number of tasks with our troops.
