Used to do SAR. I had too many dogs die on me recently, one from a heart attack mid play, even though she’d gotten a clean physical not two weeks before–a GSD. Then my last SAR dog developed a fast-growing cancerous tumor attached to his carotid artery. When he started to have difficulty breathing and eating, it was time to say goodbye. So, well, after all that, I just quit. It was too much. Now I just try to keep my fingers to the pulse and occasionally, when asked, help others where and when I can. People are trying to get me to get another pup, but, well, it’s just too painful still. I also write, play music, and ride horseback …and I have a wonderful, supportive husband.
