A tribute to Keesha
Life began on
September 16, 1992
"She started as a
'dog,' but ended as a
'True Deputy' that we
all loved."
Keesha
started her Law Enforcement Career at the Atchison County
Sheriff's Department in 1996. This was her second car that she
patrolled. She worked for Atchison approximately 3 1/2 years. We
worked together for the Leavenworth County Sheriff's Department
in 1998. That is where Keesha was working when she died. Keesha
was eulogized
with
Guardians
Of The Night
K-9 KAI
I now have Kai and have had him since December 1999. He is a
little over four years old. He came from Czechoslovakia and
has all his commands in Czech. He is certified in narcotics,
tracking, and article search. He is doing really well at
aggression work we just haven't been to a seminar to get him
certified. Our patrol vehicle is a 2000 Ford Explorer and we
mainly work days. We still miss Keesha very much. We have a
memorial set up for her in our living room. Just to remind you
of the events that led to her death, we were at our south
station getting gas and I always let her out to take care of
business and we would go play in a nearby field. This time she
took off after something and was killed on the highway. The
driver left the scene and called it in anonymously. It really
helped in our time of sorrow to know that somebody was thinking
about our loss on the other side of the nation.
It's because
of Doug, that
I didn't give up my passion to print cards for K9s.
