What a great thing Carter did. Happy Belated B'day Carter. What great pic's of your son Brian, looks like he knows how to make his mom smile. I appreciate all he has given up, which allows us to live life with freedom. Your family and Brian will be in my prayers and keep us posted how he is doing.

Your son is so handsome and I will be praying for his safety while in Iraq! Isn't technology a wonderful thing...in that you can see him on your computer and talk with him on cell phones? Please tell him thanks from me, for helping keep America safe! I have the utmost respect for men in uniforms...bless their hearts! Also, bless little Carter's heart...what a sweetie! Happy belated birthday, Carter! I'm glad you have Carter and YT to help you through this time your son is away! *HUGGGGG*

That was very touching to read. Happy Belated Birthday, Carter. What an awesome dog you are. Your son is very handsome and you must be bursting with pride. God bless him and bring him safely home.

Carters Mom · 07-06-2005, 04:17 AM

Thanks Cindy, Connie, and Erin!

While I think what Carter did was awesome, I really think it was a fluke. Either way, I'm happy that he woke me up when he did. I won't kid myself that he is/could be a service dog. He's just a "smart" dog that I love!

Thanks for the kind comments about Brian!

iheartyorkies · 07-06-2005, 04:57 AM

Lisa, just wanted you to know I just prayed for Brian. I prayed that God would speed our work in Iraq and impede that of the enemy.

Carters Mom · 07-06-2005, 05:08 AM

Cynthia:

Thanks sooo much. We can only hope that the insurgent attacks will lessen. That is my son's mission - to train the Iraqis in how to control their borders so the insurgents can't get in. The majority of the Iraqis want change. It is those that deserve the right to freedom and safety.

These are photos that were posted in 2003 or 2004 by a Marine that was in Iraq. This is what drives our military to do what they do over there! http://www.pbase.com/nclinh/iraq_desert&page=all

THose pictures on that site are very moving! I'm sorry I missed this thread yesterday!
Happy Belated bday Carter! What a great thing he did for you. I am amazed at our little dogs everyday!
I will pray for your son! And yes, he is very good looking!

rrosenberry · 07-06-2005, 05:31 AM

Wow thats great! I cant imagine the worry you have with a son in the war.
I will add him to my prayer list, and a big birthday wish for Carter!!

Carters Mom · 07-06-2005, 05:37 AM

Thanks ya'll!

Yes, those photos are very moving. My aunt sent me that link via my mom. It was at a time that I really needed to see some of the positive images of the work our military is doing. All we see on TV are the bad things -- all the things that make you worry.

I appreciate all the prayers for Brian and the birthday wishes for Carter!

Lisa, thanks so much for sharing the link with us. It makes me so proud to see pictures like those. Thank God for the good work that they are doing over there!!

Lexi's_Mommy · 07-06-2005, 06:18 AM

Lisa, You and your family are in my prayers.. You son is really special, I can tell in your words just how proud you really are!! HUGS to you and him...

Carter, happy late birthday, Lexi sends lots of hugs and kisses...

From the webcam photos it looks like your son is in good spirits- thank goodness. It's so amazing to see so many young men and women over there. It's so admirable- I am not strong enough to sign up for what they're doing. The photos were great. It's a shame that you don't see more of the "personality" of the war and the people fighting in it. It was great to see some smiling faces. I've had a few friends over there, and my step brother will be going there in August. It's amazing how this war touches so many people's lives.

What a good boy Carter is! That would be great if you could train him to alert you when your son is on.

OT, but has anyone seen Operation Homecoming on TLC? I've TiVo'ed them all, but have only watched two. A word of warning- be ready with a box of tissues if you catch it. It's is such an amazing show! I sometimes forget how hard it is for the families left behind when the troops are deployed. This is a real feel-good reality show. I think it's on Mondays at 10 (if they're even still airing it.)

Lisa, I pray for your son's safety. He's doing an amazing thing, and is definitely helping to make a difference in the world.

Brutus'mama · 07-06-2005, 06:41 AM

Happy Birthday Carter! Praying and thinking about your son too.

That's what I was thinking when I looked at the pictures. It's nice to see the positive for once. The last picture with the little girl could be in a magazine. The picture of the sunset in the puddle really caught my eye. I guess it's because it is something usually considered bad turned beautiful. Kind of like what the soldiers are attempting to do over there. Corny, I know, but that's what I thought when I looked at it.
