Mera, age unknown, is a 45-pound Nepalese mutt who appears to be a cross between a Tibetan mastiff and a Himalayan sheepdog. She possesses an extraordinary level of confidence relative to her small frame. Though slight, she’s lean, with muscles likely honed by years of travel over rough mountainous terrain in the Khumbu Valley. She has soft, close-cropped black fur, with legs and a snout dipped in golden yellow, small ears that flop forward, and kind eyes.
Mera embedded with a team from the Kathmandu-based Summit Climb, led by Seattle-based mountain guide Don Wargowsky, in the tenth day of its monthlong expedition. The group had seen her a few days before in the Nepalese town of Kare, but she seemed aloof. The team members were descending from a successful summit of Mera Peak (21,247 feet), the first mountain they had climbed on their trip before heading to Baruntse, and were just above the fixed lines at around 17,500 feet when Mera (you can see how the humans decided on her name) came bounding toward them. She passed about 30 climbers on the way up, all of whom could’ve been persuaded to give her food or attention, but she crossed a glacier with a crevasse and beelined it for Wargowsky.
From that point on, the two were inseparable. He gave her a sleeping pad and jacket for a bed nest, and in return she fashioned herself into the ideal tent partner for three weeks: quiet, cuddly, agreeable, and with a small stomach. “One morning we got wind so bad it ripped the anchors off the tent, picked it up, and moved it a few feet,” Wargowsky recalls. “She just woke up, looked at me, and went back to sleep.”
Mera very quickly became the team’s mascot.

Say Hello to Tammy! She is our first foster pooch and she is preggars as fuck! 5 to 7 puppies any day now. Pitty cattledog mix. She has no "dog" skills, doesnt sniff, doesnt play doesnt care about other dogs too much. We have no history on her. Taught her to sit and "down" and she figured out the doggy door on her own. She is such a sweet heart and is snoring at my feet right now. Itz gonna suck when we have to adopt her out....Attachment 298946Attachment 298947
Meet Charlie! Not mine, but super excited for a friend back in MA. She's been waiting for over a year, and finally has been matched with Charlie as her service dog. He is from NEADS. She has MS which has progressed to the point where she had to give up her job teaching, is in a wheelchair and has lost a lot of her independence. Hopefully, Charlie will help her regain her confidence and independence. They are spending two weeks together at NEADS to bond and for her learn all the commands Charlie already knows.

Did he eat the candle too? :wink: Oh, right, not a Lab.
I know! They are the best! I know they have play time, I am just not sure how they differentiate between play and working.
It's kind of cool, learning a little bit more about service dog training through her experience. Charlie is disability service trained to respond to her commands, and trained differently than a hearing or sight dog, which has to be trained to do tasks spontaneously rather than on command. So, hearing/sight dogs have to have a lot more initiative, and disability service dogs have to remain totally subversive to their person.
As pups, Charlie, and his playmate, Sandy, were raised through the prison program in MA. On the weekends the pups go stay with another foster for more socialization and to visit places. I really wanted to do this when I lived in Boston, but my landlord wouldn't allow dogs.
Boston is very dog friendly...
Standard gag line: "He only bites Yankee fans"

Probably a good move... some good skiing out there I hear (cough, cough)
Btw, was that pic you posted of Charlie taken in Concord? Looks very familiar... but maybe not? Either way, what a great companion and service dog for your friend. Hope he brings her lots of joy.
