Dogs. Dawgs. Other critters. Life as Oliver Wendell Douglas. Live heirlooms, both flora and fauna. Self-sufficiency. Suffering not a fool to live. Land stewardship. Turnip trucks, and those who have not fallen therefrom. Training things. Growing things. Search and rescue. What is this bug and what is it doing under my desk light? Embracing the reality that Nature Bats Last.

From Vietnam era until Clinton presidency.

It was the Vietnam dog handlers who pushed this law, their mission to try to atone for the great betrayal.
They are the most haunted veterans I have ever met. They guard their cores awfully vigilantly -- and you and I do not want to breach that perimeter.
