MAR K9 Brina ..

That girl lived to train and trail. She was 10 years old when we first started training. She had the heart, drive and attitude of a 4 year old.

Such fond memories of the all our training trails with such great humans with their pets that volunteered to help us train.

We trained on trailing horses, a mule, at the Train Station and in the snow crossing an iced over creek. We trailed cats and helped bring them home. We trained on a pet in motion and so much.

Sure do miss my girl, she gave so unconditionally to so many.

Awesome Resource For Newly Adopted Dogs

If you or someone you know has recently adopted a new dog or is thinking of doing so ... this is a great resource.

Our friends at The Retrievers have recently launched this online curriculum geared towards helping to keep newly adopted dogs in a safe environment starting from the car ride home.

"This new effort—which we’re calling NeverLost U—will help people create and manage a safe environment for their dogs, from the first ride home, through the first minutes, days, weeks and months at their new home, and further adjustments over the years. We’ll help you through a trip to the groomer, through the 4th of July holidays, or a trip to the lake. Understanding these basic principles will help you keep your dogs safe."

I highly encourage anyone who has recently adopted or that is looking to adopt to visit NeverLost U at the link listed below, it is totally free ...

Helping you keep them safe.

K9 Brina's Negative

2nd photo ... the ole side eye. When ever we would train on Negatives when I would take her somewhere where there was no scent, she'd throw the side eye.

She loved her job ❤️

And The Award Goes To ...

I am truly humbled and deeply honored to have been recognized alongside K9 Brina with the 2026 Lost Pet Search and Recovery Award.

To hear the words spoken during the presentation touched me more than I can fully put into words. This work comes from such a deeply personal place in my heart, and in that moment I felt overwhelming pride, happiness, gratitude… and grief all at once.

So much of lost pet recovery happens quietly — the long nights alone on camera watch, the tears shared with families, the setbacks, the hope, the emotional weight we carry for every animal still missing. To have that dedication seen and acknowledged was incredibly moving thruout the Ceremony.

And then there is K9 Brina, my number one girl and partner. Looking at her, I felt so much emotion. Pride in the work she represents, happiness for the lives we have helped touch, and grief for every case that leaves a mark on your soul. She is more than a K9 partner to me — she is part of my heart.

I want to sincerely thank Annalisa Berns, Pet Search And Rescue & Lost Pet Detection for this recognition and for the kind words spoken. I also want to congratulate every organization and individual recognized and nominated. The compassion, sacrifice, and dedication within this field is something truly special.

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me and K9 Brina during some of the hardest moments of their lives. Thank you to Judene Dyer for being such an amazing trainer and Kat Albrecht-Thiessen, Missing Animal Response Network for being such awesome mentor. A very special, thank you to all of you who volunteered to help us train, you made the difference and helped get us to those final trails and across the finish line. Thank you for the ones that volunteered to be our Flanker out working live cases, your support in the field and team work, such a blessing and joy to have you both along on cases Lisa Cockrum and Sherri Ochoa.

This award means more to me than there are words. ❤️

Not Just Finding Them

Most never see the quiet side of recovery. The lonely roads beneath the moon. The truck parked silent near a trap line. Coffee gone cold long before sunrise.

They never see the blinking cameras. The endless watch through sleepless eyes. Cellular pings at two a.m. A shadow moving through the night.

Maps spread out across the table. Pins and sightings carefully placed. Hours spent studying patterns,trying to understand fear’s pace.

The feeding stations softly tended. Fresh water placed with patient care. A blanket carrying owner’s scent. Hope hanging gently in the air.

The desert wind may shift the story. Tracks disappear with morning light. Yet still we stay beside the silence. Watching, waiting through the night.

Because recovery is not glory. It is devotion few will see. A promise made to frightened animals ... To bring them home safely.

It is patience over pressure. Compassion stronger than fear. Knowing trust cannot be forced. But slowly earned when love stays near.

And somewhere in the dark and distance, a hungry soul begins to rest. Drawn not by chasing voices, but by the feeling of safety instead.

So we sit through lonely evenings. Listening to the desert breathe. One eye fixed upon the cameras. One heart refusing to leave.

For every lost pet out in hiding. For every family torn apart. Recovery is more than finding them ... It is protecting their fragile heart.

This came up in my memories from 5 years ago.

I was awarded a scholarship from Petco Love Lost for the 8 Week Missing Animal Response Field Course to further my education and hone in on my skills and knowledge.

5 years later I am still Training with MAR with their K9 Trailing Training course.

Proud accomplishment :)

Behind This Page Exsist An Empth

Some people in pet recovery lead with strategy. Some lead with experience. Some lead with action.

And some of us lead with empathy.

Being an empath in lost pet recovery is both a strength and a weight to carry. We feel the fear in the owner’s voice, the grief behind the silence, and the stress that follows a family when a beloved pet goes missing.

It is often the empath who sits quietly for hours waiting on trust instead of forcing fear. The one who understands that patience, calm energy, and compassion can matter just as much as equipment and strategy.

But empathy also comes with a cost. We carry cases home with us. We absorb tension, conflict, heartbreak, and exhaustion long after others have moved on.

That is why boundaries matter. Rest matters. Peace and Self Care matters.

You cannot pour from an empty cup.

I keep a low presence in lost & found pet groups for a reason.

When a pet goes missing, owners are already overwhelmed emotionally. Dozens of opinions and conflicting advice in comment sections can add more stress and confusion.

I’ve found that calm, one-on-one coaching allows me to focus on the individual pet, pet owners, the circumstances, in creating a clear recovery strategy that best supports the family and their pet.

Every case is different. Quiet guidance behind the scenes is often where the real and most beneficial work happens.
