So close you can almost touch it....

They can almost touch it.    That goal that they have pursued  for so long.  Training day and night.  Weekday and weekend.  Loving and cuddling.  Spending the night out in frigid weather together.  Step by step.  Signature by signature.   Until now.

All the signatures are there.   Both of them have taken nearly every step they need to take.  Next up are 3 tests.   Creating proof that these two together can do the job they have been training for.

This dog.  This dog came along to teach so much.  We thought we would take her in and teach her, but it turns out, it is she who has taught us far more than anything we could ever teach her.  She is the truest example of unconditional love to everyone that I have ever met.

This team.   This team has melded over time.  Sometimes it has been as though they have been partners for decades.  Sometimes, it is clear that Raezor is the master and Kristi is the pupil.  

 Step by step they have made their way together to this point.    Soon, they will take the biggest step of their lives together.  Not the tests coming up.  Those will be easy.   They are nothing compared to the first time Kristi says "Go Find" and someone out there is counting on them to do their job right in order for them to make it home.   That will be the biggest test of all.

They will do it.  I know they will.
