59: Preparations are Underway
My workload has kept me mercifully occupied over the last two months. I've had very little free time to fill, and if it weren't for the efforts of the more enthusiastic among my co-workers (and the significant increase in property crimes), I may have succeeded in forgetting the season. What free time I've had has been devoted to preliminary planning for the community-wide law committee, which I shall be moving on shortly, and preparing Sigi for his upcoming challenges. This weekend marks the annual AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, and, thanks to the apparent resurgence of my immune system, it promises to be a more enjoyable experience than last year's. Sieghard's handler has been working with him extensively since his abduction, and neither of us has marked any residual effects which might be causes for concern; barring the presence of any hidden damage, Sigi's sure to excel as he did last year.
After extensive research, I've also managed to choose a local Schutzhund club, though finding one with sufficiently high standards has proven surprisingly difficult. Once Sigi's achieved his BH, I'll be enrolling him in the Schutzhund 1 training course. Any of you who might feel the urge to make unannounced and unwelcome visits to my apartment may consider this the single warning that the potential for liability requires me to give.

The recent marking of my first year here has also brought an additional concern to mind. It seems as if it's been some time since I've been personally treated to one of the viruses which used to affect me so frequently. Contrary to what one might expect, the thought is far from reassuring, and I've decided to take a precaution I should have taken long ago. In the past, Detective Gumshoe has served me in this capacity, but I'm unsure whether he still monitors the community. Additionally, entrusting only one person with this task heightens the risk of that one person being simultaneously incapacitated by whatever virus might affect me. If I'm...unable to be here for whatever reason, Sieghard must be taken care of.
Doing so should be a simple matter. While I'm sure it will come as a great disappointment to some of you, no actual contact with Sigi will be necessary. I've long had an arrangement with his trainer, and he'll be able to take charge of Sigi if he's ever notified that there's a need for it; all that will be required is a phone call or e-mail requesting that he pick Sigi up from my apartment. I'll be able to retrieve the dog and make payment once the virus' effects wear off.
Those of you who'd be willing to take on this role, respond here and I'll provide you with his trainer's contact information.
((OOC: Tags may be slow. If anyone wants to jump on him I'll try to keep replying as long as I can before my brain shuts down, but if I disappear I'll continue tomorrow!))
