What a productive morning just like the army. These two furry troopers have been on the move.

The similarities are noticeable of mornings in the army with Dunc the golden retriever chunk and Oliver Pyrenees retriever pup.
0:345 first call Dunc discovered Oliver was sleeping on skin of squeak lamb and started barking in bed at Oliver i get skin of squeak lamb give it to chunk and try to go back to sleep.
Not happening then these two start muzzle fighting in bed I’m wide awake get up let these two furry lunatics out in the yard the triple s express move.

Came out to enjoy the morning quiet listening to the rain having coffee. And they must have both had decent craps because they are both zooming chasing each kind like a P.T. early morning run barking (just like singing cadence)

Then we head inside and to close out the run pups decided to hit the obstacle course (Dog Parkour)up and over the couch running up the stairs .
Flying back down stairs and they stop staring at each other and charge each other and immediately start paw to paw combat training.

05:00 is chow why not and the mess hall was serving brown rocks (Dry dog food) I could see the troopers were not really enthusiastic as in what no WOOFING scrambled eggs. So after chow personal time to get ready for training day (they both napped)

Then around 06:30 first up on training schedule was escape and evasion training Oliver was training cadre on this one as running the E&E program.

And once again nine month old pup who suffers from short term memory issues. Completely forgot again that the cat’s are murder incorporated sharp teeth that bite and razor blades for paws.

I look forward to the reports on ur adventures especially ur many references to ur time in service.

I was on active duty 1967-1995 including a tour in the bush in Vietnam and I’d go back and do it all again because of the daily challenges the camaraderie, and the adventure that waited around every corner.
