Speaking to the ahhhh moment, yes. It was wonderful to just BE with her for the first time. I think the honesty you have with a dog stems from the fact that you can not lie to them. They are experts in body language and non-verbal communication. You HAVE to be honest with them, and it's not in their nature to be deceitful. They just Are who they Are, and that allows us to have a relationship with them that is seldom possible with another person.
So incredibly well put... you nailed so much with just that one paragraph.
David, thank you for the great writing and also the fantastic pictures. Fama is such a gorgeous GSD, it must have been an incredibly honor to work with her!
Get an editor, a publisher, however one does it.
These experiences are super interesting --- to dog folks, to folks who have family in the service --- all we civilians ever hear about re- the war is little snippets that tell us nothing. We want to hear the story, the "day in the life".

Tanith: When we first got in country, the terrain was a challenge for both of us, but through lots of play and miles on the road, we got in shape. Fama's pads were little bricks after about a month. I took a good supply of toys with me, and the generous people that support soldiers through anysoldier.com and project k.i.t.t sent us plenty more.
David: she had her own treadmill in the gym, and would go to it off leash and wait for me to start it. I could go work out or run with her; it never mattered. She really enjoyed it, and it never hurt that we had a big tug party afterwards either.
Betty: I'm working on that The first thing they will probably tell me is to quit writing on a public forum, but for now the feedback is helping me along, and I just want to share our story with you guys here. You are my favorite kind of people. Dog people
Lee: an honor it was. How lucky I was to have such a special dog to go to war with.
