Canine Meet & Greet


Dawson, Ray Masterson's service dog, a Husky meets a 9 month old pup, thankfully not for the first time. My dog Isabella-girl takes no longer kindly to impolite doggies that show no respect and get in her face. But Dawson, now 7 years old, has become a very friendly  dog, Ray has taught him well. He was not always mellow, as a pup he used to explode at my dogs and we would have a barking frenzy on our hands. This year has got me dodging dogs and has gotten me very tired of dog custodians that do not pay attention and are not proactive in avoiding unpleasantries. This little cutie here is a 9 month old male and a handful, but the lady says she always checks with others about her pup approaching, which I sure appreciate. I did notice though how Ray gave Dawson cues to take it easy with the little one. Shocking the dirty looks I get from those on the other end of the leash that somehow feel insulted when I pull my pups away in an effort to avoid conflict and keep our dogs safe!


 Balloons Are Free

AMEN



Ray Masterson - Vietnam Vet, Peace Activist


 BLOW UP BALLOONS NOT PEOPLE!
Ray surprised me when he started to entertain kids at the Farmers Market.


Ray trained his service dogs himself.


Dawson is "trained to only bite back" we are told.


Dawson now between 4 and 5 years old
has become the sweetest and most tolerant dog.


After all that sitting and waiting and being patient
 a bit of canine yoga is what the doctor ordered.


 Dawson's job is to navigates their contraption through traffic.


BICYCLES ARE VEHICLES NOT OBSTACLES
Oh, so true.
