Yeah I really need a favor from everyone here....So let me explain.
Last year my wife and I adopted a precocious little German Shepard girl named Lilly. She was a rescue pup at 4 months of age.
I started working with Lilly on basic obedience. She came along nicely and accompanies me everywhere I can reasonably take her. The clerks in Lowes know her name but not mine.
Around the spring of this year, we started working and training her in search and rescue for human remains. SAR/HRD We work with this group:
http://www.nccert.org/nc-cert-presents-powerful-video-about-search-and-rescue/ Check out the website and the video.
She absolutely loves this work. You should see her when I give her the command to go search.... she knows it's coming and she's so excited.
Everyone on the team is a volunteer. Everything we do is out of pocket from gas and motels for training, to equipement including buying the things for our training team as a group. Much of the equipment and software we use is not cheap.
There is a contest that we need your votes to win. The bottom line is that if we can win this, our team gets $5000 to buy things we need to further our mission effectiveness.
All I'm asking you to do is take 1 minute EACH day for the remainder of this month. Each person can vote once a day, every day. Invite your friends to vote...
AND..... if you upload a picture of LILLY, your vote doubles in it's value.
SO....
1. Download a picture of LILLY to your computer. (right click the pic and "save image as")
2. Go to this link:

5. Upload LILLY's picture at the bottom of the form. wait for the upload to finish
6. Click on SUBMIT

Lilly now as a more mature Shepard.
