My mom was real sick and had got up in the middle of the night to go to take her pills and as she got to her living room she collapsed from being dehydrated. All her muscles went limp. She could not yell loud enough for her male friend to help and her dog was by her side and started barking constantly until her male friend came out to her. Her dog saved her life because when she got to the hospital they told her that her heart is also a muscle and could have stopped from the severe dehydration.

we dog-sit a lot for the three goldens and when my grandfather fell in his bedroom all three of them went running to him and laid with him until the ambulance got there. One laid at his hip (which he broke) one laid at his feet and another laid at his head to keep him company.

I am a injured firefighter/medic. To me that work was my life. I worked full time with EMS and voluntereed as a firefighter and vol. EMS. When I was injured at work in the start of the year of 07 I didn't think I would be handicapped still to this day. I was truely hoping to be back to work by now. Around Christmas time of 08/09 my husband knew how depressed I had become. So he did his research on or furry little friends and found out which ones stay closest to one person and found that bread to be the Chihuahas. And that just happens to be my favorite of all our furry little friends. So one day he told me he was taking me out, and as usual, I was so depressed I just didn't want to go anywhere. But I went and to my happy surprise I met my new best girlfriend. She weighed a whopping 2 pounds. Her name is Victoria Belle and she goes every where with me. All my docs have gotten used to seeing her, and the nurses love her as well. The gift of furry doggy love has really got me out of my serious depression. Ain't our furryfriends great?

Yeah. For some reason people here in IN think the red lights and sirens mean speed up and race the lights to the intersection. Not fun when your driving an engine with 1500 gals. of water on board along with all the other tools. It don't like to s...

Any thoughts on the use of a kelmheist knot instead of a standard prusik for tensioning or in minding pulleys at height? The klemheist is much quicker to tie on a line and stays neater, but outside of climbing I've never seen it used on static res...
