Oversteer: Letter from the Editor
by Kurt Scaggs, Managing Editor
This month instead of debating electric cars or
lamenting my skills as a mechanic,
we’ll hear from a new voice. I’m going
to introduce “Porsche” the puppy
at Patriot PAWS that the Maverick
Region has sponsored with the help of
your donations. Patriot PAWS as many
of you know is an organization that
devotes their time and attention to
serving American Veterans by training
and providing high quality service dogs
at no cost. These dogs help our vets to
restore their physical and emotional
independence. Here is the letter that
we received from Porsche; she’s quite
well spoken for a six month old.
Hi. It’s me Porsche. I am almost 6
months old and boy have I learned a lot
since coming to Patriot PAWS. I am now
with a DFW Puppy Raiser named Tammie who is taking me to
all kinds of great places. We went for a demonstration at a law
firm and also went to play. Two entirely different experiences,
but I learned a lot from both. Cues I have
learned in the last month include “Loose
Leash Walk”, “Eye Contact”, “Go Now”
and “Load Up”.
My favorite toy is a ball, any kind
of ball. As an only pup, I have learned
that I can play all by myself when I
need to. For example, I can roll the ball
and fetch it too. I have learned a new
cue called “Leave It”. That is when I
am supposed to ignore things that I
would like to pick up, but shouldn’t.
And when I do it right, I get a yummy
treat, so it’s worth the restraint.
My Puppy Raiser says I am a sweet
pup with great focus and I work hard
and love to please.
So, in closing, I want to thank you for
supporting Patriot PAWS and making all of this possible.
Love, Porsche.
