Herbie Update 1.11.13

Via Doc Rick Broz:
"Just got back from visiting the Herbster. News not good. Dr. Woods has consulted with three different canine cancer specialists and the opinions are the same....untreatable. And the fluid build up under his scalp is from the tumor after all and is getting worse and has to be drained more frequently, every 2 to 3 days from every 5 to 6. He is still happy, painfree and eating enthusiastically and has much more energy, though today he was exhausted from the drainage procedure so he didn't feel up to going outside."

Saying lots of prayers for you Herbie! We all love you so!! ♥

Sgt. Stubby: America's 1st Bully Hero!

In response to World War I, members of the First Company Governor's Foot Guard were activated and inducted into the 102nd Infantry Battalion of the 26th "Yankee" Division along with members of Connecticut's other Organized Militia units and numerous volunteers. During their training on the grounds of Yale University prior to deployment, they unexpectedly added a soldier to their company. Found by then-Private John Conroy, Stubby was a brindle patched puppy of unknown descent with a short tail from which he received his name. As the soldiers became familiar with army life, so did Stubby. Stubby became familiar with all of the bugle calls, the drill marching routines, and the routines of life in camp, even learning to give a dog's version of a salute. Stubby would would put his right paw on his right eyebrow when a salute was executed by others around him. Stubby's effect on the soldiers around him as well as his dedication to training and his ability to salute earned him the right to remain in the camp, even though animals were not allowed.
