5 /5 John Stump: I dont know where to begin at the moment but all I can say is
Well done. Youre doing it right. I voluntarily came in a month or so back for one reason and came out in amazement after 8 days.
Every one of you are angels in my life and will always be. Including your head honcho who I had the pleasure to meet.
And I still look back and laugh at that interaction between the two of us.
And without laughter and Hope and Faith.
What is there!
From all the police department including the chief of police.
Your whole community is doing it right.
Eyewitness things that left me in awe.
In the last 2 and 1/2 months has been quite a ride in my life.
And Ive had a lot of rides.
And I left wanting to work there.
Thats how much in all I was!
I wanted to be part of your organization and Ive worked for many large and small.
Im not going to give you my resume all I wanted to do was give you props.
How everyone was handled with love.
Priceless
What I find really interesting is that I was taking a drive that day parked away from everyone and everything and was minding my own business.
Praising and worshiping our Lord.
With my dog in Eden..
Thats why I drove there Ive been in the Skagit valley area since I was six.
Im 61 now and I have had an adventurous and prosperous life.
But the whole experience including the experience of meeting a very like-minded individual who I continue to converse with
Is priceless.
The whole group of individuals that I came to know including the beginning teachers that were teaching us in group.
Still amazes me to this day.
Perfection in action.
By the way whoever you share this with well know who Im talking about when I say..
My dog glacier says hi.
And I am her Shepherd and the whole ordeal was handled with such gentleness.
All of it.
I know that you have career opportunities available but my path is taking me somewhere else right now.
But just know I have a testimony now that includes all of you.
And maybe someday Ill bring glacier in to share what she has to offer.
Gods will be done
Thank you infinity squared
In one last note.
And I find this very interesting.
You know the things that make you go huh.
I was the proud owner and operator of Pacific Northwest shepherds based in Bellingham Washington.
And some of Arlingtons police officers purchased some of my babies so they could be trained.
And that made me feel proud that my babies were going to be loved and trained properly.
And I know my babies live and were 95% of all of them are
. And I didnt have to vet very hard in those transactions.
But I did with many and turned many away.
Because when you raise a German Shepherd they need to know who alpha is.
And they werent ready I told them to learn and study about the breed before taking on that challenge that wonderful challenge.
And to look back at the connection is mind-boggling
Keep doing what youre doing at least in my opinion..
You have changed my life for the better.
And I applaud you
