Thanks to the efforts of my editors/advisors/think tank/whatever you want to call them, I am finished with chapters 3 and 4. I am trying to build up a cache of chapters and stick to my weekly posting schdule.

I hope you guys are enjoying reading the story as much as I am enjoying researching and writing it. I just looked at my stats earlier and saw that I am creeping up on 10K downloads! That is just amazing to me. Gives me warm and fuzzies. ;)

As always, feel free to drop a line and say what you feel.

Do I have anyone out there that speaks Apache or Yavapai? I just need some names translated. Thanks!

I finished chapter 2 a bit early and submitted it for posting. I am going to TRY to stick to posting weekly on Tuesday.

A huge thank you to all of those who have voted and sent in messages. I read (and try to reply) to every one. Your ideas, input, and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Also, please be gentle when finding and reporting typos. My laptop bit the dust last week and I am doing this endeavor entirely by smart phone.

Thanks again!

I'm wanting Alex to command Philandros in Greek. I think it'd bring an interesting flavor to his personality and Greek heritage. The problem is, I don't speak Greek. I know it is a highly descriptive and nuanced language, so I don't trust Google Translate.

So, I would be greatly indebted if someone could help me with the following list of commands.

HEEL (Together/Stick Close):
SIT:
STAY:
COME:
GO (To a person/place/object):
GO AWAY (Leave the area):
DOWN (Crouch or take cover):
STAND:
UP/IN (Jumping to a platform or in a vehicle):
OUT/OFF (Jumping to the ground or out of a vehicle):
SPEAK/BARK:
GOOD:
BAD:
CORRECTION WORD "NO":
PRAISE WORD "YES":
EAT:
LEAVE IT/DROP IT:
GET HELP:
FIND (Searching for an object or person):
STOP:
WATCH ME:
WAIT:
GUARD:
STAND DOWN (Release from GUARD command):
ATTACK:

Philandros is an Australian Cattle Dog and is highly intelligent. Thanks for your time and assistance.
