Man it's good to be back!!!

#835896 - 11/19/09 02:40 PM

Hello there everyone,

I have been gone for a while from the site and now I am back. I started a new job and had 2 back surgeries in the last year everything seems to be fine now and I am ready to start doing what I love again, FISHING.

I am also being kept very busy training a great dog. My family is the foster family for a Service dog in training, his name is Hudson and he is 9 months old today. We will be training this dog for the next two and a half to three years. Once he graduates he will be placed with a person with disabilities and is confined to a motorized wheel chair. He has to be able to do a ton of stuff. He loves picking up anything you drop, turning light on and off, getting you undressed, opening and closing drawers and doors, etc.... He will have to learn many other things as well including being able to pick up a dime (yes a dime) off a cement floor and hand it to you. The real exciting training will be teaching the big guy to do laundry using front loading machines. I hope to get him to some upcoming GTG's so some of you will get the chance to see this guy in action. He will start coming to work with me everyday soon. Here is a picture of this working wonder. I am glad to be back and will be posting often.

Thanks,

John

Welcome back!

How in the world do you give up a great looking dog like that? Emotionally it has to be rough after all the time and training involved. Don't know if anybody could pry my dog away and she's dumb as a stone.

I'm not impressed until he starts doing the ironing, too.

Just kidding... Great, dog, must be very rewarding training a dog like that. Hats off to you!!!

Wow, if my dog could do that, the wife would have to start looking for a new place to live

I would rather be sittting in the boat thinking of God, then sitting in church thinking about fishing.

Have you taught him to fetch walleyes yet??????

Great job, great dog. Here's to many a wonderful day on the water. Been there done that on the back and that is no fun for sure. Glad you are trying to help someone else.

Welcome back, John. Ironically I was just thinking to myself the other day... "I wonder what ever happened to..."

I think one of the last times we spoke was in the Gosh Dam up on Winnie was it not? Not that it matters. Welcome. We've kept the lights on for you.

That must take a lot of patients to train a dog like that.

By the way, how many John Bruglers could there be. Did you grow up in New Brighton?
