They are Maltese. The male (highest up in the picture) is with my sister now, but was ours years ago. The other two are ours. My wife like's to think they are hers, but they are in fact, both, Daddy's girls.
I just sent an email with a pic of me with my dogs. Thanks for putting this post together.

Thanks ShadowWar for posting this article. As I wrote in the comments of one of your other articles, how people feel about whether going into Iraq was the right thing to do or the wrong thing shouldn't obscure the good that is being done there. It is important to see the good things. Soldiers, and all other servicemembers, make a difference. And while, for the most part, they don't crave recognition for the work they do, they do appreciate support
As I sat in my office eating lunch, I suddenly had a flashback to a childhood memory. I distinctly remembered the plot from an Encyclopedia Brown story and it really felt good to remember somthing like that. I borrowed Encyclopedia Brown books from the library all the time and I remember they were great reading. You could read one of the many stories in each book v
I had a commander that would call in the PSG and 1SG whenever a new platoon leader (LT) would show up. He'd fill out a DA Form 2062 Hand Receipt and make the PSG sign for the LT. It was priceless.
You'd think I would have learned better from greywar. Oh, well, parts V through VIII are up now. Enjoy.
Wow! You know, I'm all for maintaining standards but you have to let common sense prevail. They wouldn't be 'lowering a standard' because he's a nice guy. And there's a big difference between English students and engineers. Effective communication with his dog can mean the difference between life and death for the man. These guys are way out of line. I teach Korean to American servicemembers and I'm a big fan of the immersion idea - use o
PT VIII The last few days went by very quickly and without major incident. We were located near the edge of the ‘box’ (the area inside which the game is played – if you leave the box, you die – I know a very funny Frydaddy story about being placed outside the box during a later trip to JRTC, I’ll have to write that one up later, it’s MUCH shorter than this o
PT VII We got our helicopter ride later that day. We didn’t buckle into our seats and the crew chief never checked us. We got up in the air and the pilot started flying doors open, nap of the earth. Anyone that’s done this knows that if you’ve buckled up, it’s a wild ride, very much like a roller coaster. But if you haven’t buckled in and you’re sitting n
PT VI Well, this was the morning of the enemies ‘Big Attack’. We got word about 15 minutes after dawn that the enemy was moving but the battalion was holding them. A short time after that, one enemy T-62 broke the lines and moved right to the TOC. As it rolled up, we fired at it, but M-16s are no good against armor. The battalion had no anti-tank weapons
PT V When the convoy finally stopped we got off the trucks and immediately moved out towards the site we had pre-selected on the map. We spent all of one night there. Late that night, Frydaddy and myself, went to sleep. We got up an hour before dawn and P-Ro and Church went to sleep. Right after first light, Frydaddy came to me (he was on guard and I was
I forgot about Fragile by Sting. Didn't used to do anything special, but he was planning to do a live webcast concert on Sept 11, 2001. After seeing the events of the day on the news, he spent the entire day with family and friends and tried to decide whether to hold the concert or not. He eventually decided to do one song on the net and then call the show or continue depending on the mood. He ended up doing the entire show, but the only song broad
Oh hell ya. "They say goodbye, tomorrow Wendy is going to die..." Yeah, in the live from Brazil version, Johnnette talks/sings for a little bit about suicide and AIDS before she gets to the last part - Only God gives life But I set my own time And if he ever saw it It was through these
Movies - I have to say Superman, too. That movie is one of my favorite of all time. Also, the new Spider-man flick during Aunt May's "hero speech". The hardest hitting movie, though, in recent memory was Band of Brothers (yeah, miniseries, not a movie, but still) in the scene where they find the concentration camp. I just can't imagine what it felt like to find such horror. Also the scene in the last episode when the soldier gets shot by the drunk
PT IV P-Ro woke me up the next morning. He had already gone off with the OC to collect our gear and we were getting together to inventory it all. We were also expecting a visit from our company commander. We found a spot to check our stuff and eat some breakfast. It didn’t take long for our commander to show up. We were interrogated for a while and aske
PT III We left behind three rucks and our antenna. We found out in the morning that the parachute had caught on the antenna and broken two of the elements off. We set off (towards the drop zone!) to find our OC. Ironically, our OC was fast asleep in the back of his truck, just meters away from the edge of the drop zone. We told him what happened. He to
Pt II of VIII - Yeah, that's right, it's an eight parter. The whole thing is done, but I'll post a few parts today, and the rest tomorrow. I don't want to flood JU with a bunch of posts all at once. I woke up in a sitting position. I didn't know why I was sitting up but there I was. I could hear Church yelling "Short drop, short drop!" but I had n
Parts two through four (of eight) are about to go up. I'll post the rest tomorrow. It's a long one...
My 1SG did the same thing in Hawaii. I was the headquarters PSG and I'd hear it regularly. Usually when we was about to call someone on doing something stupid.
I like telling stories about things I’ve done in the Army. I think that I’m a decent storyteller. A friend once said that you could fill up a year with listening to the stories I tell, but then you started to hear some of them again. Well, this is probably the one I’ve told more often than any other - I’ve told this story more times than I can remember. I enjoy te
Aha, I put in a site title before, but not a site description. The site description part did it. Thanks for the save!
When I go to other people's blogs here on JU, I see at the top of the page a title bar with the JU symbol and a small font saying "Blogs for the Average Joe" under it, and also the title of the blog site. In the corner is a RSS button. But when I go to my own site, I never see this. Is this because you never see your own title bar, or am I missing something. I've
I put the answers to the quizzes in the comments sections. Congrats to all!
