Brutus

Brutus-The K9 Military Congress Medal of Honor of Iraq-

Brutus the Military K9 of the
Iraq War

Welcome to my humble blog my dearest friends and follower once again---I have a lovely story that was given to me by a dear friend that lives in Quebec Canada. It is a delightful story of honor and curious of an Military K9 Dog doing his doing during the time in the Iraq war and coming home to a new mission to protect a new family member. I hope you find this story as touching as I. Brutus the Dog was nothing like Ceasar's the brute leader in the ancient Romans. His story is quite amazing from the being to his happy end. This wonderful K9 above in the photo is Brutus, a military k9 at McChord---He is enormous some might say. Beginning part Boxer and part British Bull Mastiff.  Brutus tops the dog scales at over 200lbs. The pictures provide are taken by his handler. The photo above is Brutus running toward his owner because he knows that he has some Milkbones treats, so he's always slobbering away for a treat! He had to duck around a tree just before Brutus go to him just in case he couldn't stop, but Brutus was able too.
Just last year from his tour in Iraq Brutus was the recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor...Brutus's handler and four other soldiers were taken hostage by insurgents in Iraq. However, Brutus and his handler communicate by sign language and he gave Brutus the signal that meant' go away but come back and find me'. The Iraqis paid no attention to Brutus. So when Brutus came back later and quietly he tore the throat out of one of the guards at the doors and another guard at another door. Brutus then jumped against one of the doors repeatedly --- the guys were being held in an old warehouse until it finally opened by Brutus continued jumping against the doors repeatedly. Once inside Brutus got to his handler untied him and they all escaped.  Brutus is the first k9 to receive his honor. If he knows you are ok, Brutus is very kind---a big old lug and wants to sit on your lap. He also enjoys the company of cats.
If you thought Brutus time in the military service as a k9 soldier and getting a Congressional Medal of Honor was interesting well there is much more to this amazing animal. Well, it seemed after the war Brutus had other talents; for example animal intelligence and bonding with humans! Remember that they can't do a lot of things for themselves and they depend on you to make their life a quality life!
How from a K9 Congressional Medal honor of saving his team in the war to instructions of properly hugging a new baby from Brutus point of view!

1-First, uh, find a baby-

2-Second, be sure that the object you found

is indeed a baby by employ classic sniffing techniques.

3-Next you will need to flatten the baby
before actually beginning the hugging process

4-The paw slide simply sides paws around
baby and prepare for possible close-up

5-Finally, if a camera is present, you will
need to execute the difficult and patented 
'Hug, Smile and lean so as to achieve the best
photo quality.

I hope that you will enjoy the 
lovely tale will warm your hearts
and souls for the heart of 
Christmas Holidays

History of Mistletoe-

History of Mistletoe~

Mistletoe

Welcome my dearest friends & followers to my humble
blog, I hope you will enjoy this Christmas ancient legend of
the Mistletoe. In ancient times, the mistletoe was thought of as the plant of peace and friendship. If enemies met under a tree which mistletoe has grown, they would lay down under the tree lay down their arms and call a truce for the rest of the day. If friends met beneath a tree that bears mistletoe, they would consider their friendship to be blessed with good luck. Kissing under mistletoe has become a custom that was once founded only in England. Foreign visitors that would come to England in the sixteenth century were often surprised how often men and women would exchange kisses in greeting and in parting with the Mistletoe. Perhaps it was this practice, as well as the belief that mistletoe was a plant of friendship, that led to the Christmas tradition. An large bough of mistletoe would be picked to form the centre of a huge garland to be hung in the center of a room or hallway. So if any young woman who stood beneath the garland would expect to receive a kiss. It would also bring her luck and ensure a woman in her marriage to come. She also had the right to pluck a berry from the mistletoe for every kiss she received. Once the sprig had no more berries, it was no longer lucky to kiss under it. After the Twelfth Night Hour the mistletoe would be burned, otherwise the young men and women who kissed under it might never marry it was said. In some places, one sprig of mistletoe would be put away to be kept all year to bring luck to the household. If a newborn was brought into the world, a piece of the mistletoe would be placed in the cradle to keep the child from harm.[note that mistletoe is harmful if eaten so I wonder about this ancient tradition] Sometimes a sprig of mistletoe world be given to a cow that had calved to bring good luck to the herd. An ancient name for mistletoe was 'The Wood of the Holy Cross.'
Mistletoe was never taken into a church at any time. This was because of a legend that tells how mistletoe wood was used to make a cross on which Christ died. Afterwards, all mistletoe shrank to its present size in shame and anguish.

Mistletoe also is very important to the Druids. The Arch Druid is said to cut the mistletoe with a golden sickle every November for the coming holiday season. Lastly, mistletoe was put in a white cloth by four virgins and then utilised in the ritual sacrifice of white oxen, thought to be an alternative to human sacrifice.

There are probably other uses, but these were just

a few that I could find. Happy Holidays

YOUR FRIEND ALWAYS
