Sibling Reunion

I apologize for the extended delay in updating Morey's adventures. I'm finishing 2014 in a rush but will go back through and add the details and pictures you have come to expect. In the meantime, you can get a "sneak peek" at what's coming in the next few blog posts! I'll try to be better about posting in 2015!

While I was home for Thanksgiving Morey had a chance to reunite with his littermate Shani. Shani was the only pup in the litter who went into law enforcement instead of service dog work. Dogs that have high energy and intense drive (for balls, Frisbees, etc) usually don't make good service dogs but those same skills can be an asset when it comes to police work. Shani became an award winning drug dog and pretty much cleared her district from drug business because word got out that she could sniff out drugs no matter how well they were hidden or disguised.  Shani recently retired and back with her puppy raiser and so Morey and I got the chance to visit her.

Shani and Morey
There were 3 yellow pups in Morey's litter and 5 black pups. Shani is black and you would never guess that she and Morey are littermates! Not only is there color different but so are their body builds and facial features.







 While Morey and his mom Cleo seemed to share a special connection when they got to see each other last summer, Morey and Shani didn't seem to recognize each other or act any differently than they do when they meet any other dog. Still, it was fun to see them both together now that they are all grown up and settled into their careers!
