Day One Down, one more to go for recertification. Knocked the cans, open area and clothing test out. Was a little rainy in the open area but it didn’t stop us!! Hoomans had to get fed afterwards, we have to take care of them as well. They said the pizza and Philly Steak were out of this world from Cafe Carmela. Then we had photo ops at Independence Hall and the Fist Bank with ATF PIO. Think we took over Philly and met ALOT of other hoomans from around the country! Here comes day two tomorrow!!

Yesterday's annual wellness check-up was a prerequisite for my upcoming recertification. During the examination, my eye exam went well with a squirrel, ball, walking human, empty bowl of food, stick, and a fire hydrant that looked like a phone booth. Dr. Lineberger concluded that my eyesight is 20/20 and my hearing is remarkably acute, detecting sounds like cheese being opened from two exam rooms away. It's clear I'm an exemplary specimen of the English Labrador breed. I needed my vaccinations, but the human needed a pillow after seeing the “stingy sticks” come out and after confirming the human's condition wasn't dire, we headed back to work. Definitely nap time for me!!

One of our first ones. Good job to the men and women of Greensboro Fire and Police Departments.

Brandi Sturdivant pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder in the deadly house fire. She will spend at least three decades in prison.
