LVMPD Metro K-9 Trials....

A dog is mans best friend... so the story goes. Pet or working dog... they are amazing, loving creatures. They will stand by your side when no one else will. They will lick the tears, grow excited over the laughter, curl up by your side to sleep.
I have two dogs, and I couldnt imagine my life without them. My female Tiffany is my baby, and my everything. She is older now, going on 12 yrs. and blind. But she still fetches a ball, follows me everywhere and adores me... even on those not so adorable days. I love her so very much!

Recently on my trip back to the states, I went back to Vegas to see very close friends. My two girlfriends and I have been through it all, and we still love and respect one another. We spent days just talking about the past, our futures, and life in general. I had a blast. During my visit I found myself down at the Orleans Hotel for the 2010 LVMPD Metro K-9 Trials, where another dear friend was competing. It was to be a surprise, we have not seen one another in over 5 years now.

He is one of Las Vegas' finest Metro K-9 officers. We met one night when he pulled me over for a ticket for driving with no headlights... the rest, as they say, is history. Its been 8 years now, and our friendship has grown into a deep respect of each others lives and the paths we have chosen. We will forever remain dear friends, and I thank my husband for allowing this to be.

It was a wonderful afternoon at the K-9 Trials. Where dogs and their handlers from all over the west coast competed for "top dog" of the event. I have never seen a K-9 work, even if it was on decoys. They are incredible!

Here's to you my friend, for all you and your dogs do to keep Las Vegas safe. You are a blessing. Please, always be safe out there. Vegas is a better place because of all you do.

Here's to Metros top dog! Pun intended!!!!!
