		<description><![CDATA[In the dark of an alley there are dangers most real, but they are known to those of us who walk them when others fear.

From brutal bedrooms, blooded kitchens, and hopeless hearts the battered souls call out for dogs to be near.

Then the cruel recruit their blinded tools to beat on the walls of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>rocking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Rocking back and forth for most people brings to mind gentle surroundings, like rocking a baby to sleep. Or maybe it’s the thought of grandpa rocking on the porch as he puffs on his pipe. Too some it may be grandma knitting as she rocks quietly by the fire place. The Norman Rockwell pictures start [...]]]></description>

If we accept that the very nature of the universe is conflict existing in all things, that all things need to have opposites to survive, and if we also accept that all people are a product of the universe,  then we can stop making it a fault to have differing ideas and different opinions.

		<title>This came in from a veteran friend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Great!!

Today is my youngest daughters Bday and we went out to lunch.  Two soldiers were eating there in uniform with a military duce and a half parked outside.  I grabbed my waiter and told him that those soldiers DO NOT pay for their meal, their check comes to me.  I slightly teared up remembering the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heroes and heels in the world of PTSD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For over thirty years I have been doing intervention and/or protection for people in crisis. I have seen the rottenest parts of human nature. I have seen abuse so bad that it would never make it on TV. I have seen the results of self mutilations done with a desperate attempt to gain some sort [...]]]></description>

		<title>Evergreen interns in the mountains visiting real vets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our outreach was to take students into the deep woods of the Kettle River Mountains, to mingle with veterans and others dealing with violence, ptsd, and other issues not being dealt with.

In every contact the interns were respectful to all they met, and built friendships in some cases that are still running strong.

This letter was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Short stories and more to come</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Each one of us has had or still has in our life, what others would call crazy friends! Now I say that as a statement, and not just a comment. Each one of you can remember a time or two, and some many; you were caught off guard in the sudden rush of unpreparedness from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Helping out your neighbors…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Living way up in the mountains the way we did, it was not that often we get time to just visit folks. Even those that were our neighbors were still a couple miles away. I remember one time Becky (that&#8217;s my wife, I don&#8217;t need to change her name) and I had been down to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Just interested</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Traveling around the country you begin to see a pattern on how we take care of those in our communities needing support. There are so many ways to measure the pulse of your community, in its kindness to others, as well to itself.

One way is if we see a ragged hungry man holding a tin [...]]]></description>

		<title>More about us..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Blackdog Foundation started out as an outreach project aimed at outlaws (outlaw to the community services systems) those not calm enough to deal with the bureaucrats without feeling overloaded with conflicting emotions, or fear messing up any chances of getting help by their very desperation of need.

When the environment itself is fear-provoking to those that [...]]]></description>
