Good dog! Sure beats having a cat dump a half dead mouse in your living room.

My big bad German Shepherd came home with three wild baby rabbits in her mouth one day. All were alive and only one had a scratched ear! I think she figures i am in charge of all creatures.

We had a male chocolate lab when we first moved to this house. Kids left the door open, chased the chickens, had reds and comets then, I chased after him thought he was going to kill them, I got ripped up trying to follow them through the black berry briers, he brought one of the RIR roosters back in his mouth and dropped it at my feet, thought it was dead, I think it did also, hopped up and ran away just fine, and that big dumb dog looked at me with a smile like 'hey dad, I caught it for you'

I'm cringing with all the near miss & not so near miss stories. DH rides mountain bikes out in the middle of nowhere. He's had a lot of little accidents & a couple bad wipe outs where he's had to walk a broken bike & a broken body across miles to get back to his car & drive himself to the ER. After the last time, his boss noticed he was wearing a longsleeve shirt in the dead of summer, seeping blood through tons of bandages & had a broken color bone. His boss was furious & took him down a few notches telling him he had a wife & children & needed to settle down & be more responsible. I'm glad he did, because he never listens to me, but he's been careful after hearing it from him. It still worries me to death.

But you know mountain bike or motocross are both excellent training for when you need it on the street. My first boy friend was a motocross rider... when he was going for his street liscence it was rainy and misty with slick roads, a big old semi cut across the road in front of him...
The only thing he could do was Lay the bike down and slide under neath.... on through.
Right then the test giver gave him a 100 percent on his test.


Believe me even if your hubs doesnt get crazy any more that muscle memory will always be there to save his life.

I failed flight school found my depth perception has never been great
good to know how fast the ground is coming at you

Dad had to quit because his eyesite was damaged. He got a metal chip in his eye when he was a machinist. They had to use a magnet to get it out. So his depth perception was not good enough to fly a plane any more.

When graves took the biggest share of my vision my life as I knew it ended and a new chapter started when for whatever God planned took over

I was going to roll over and go back to sleep, but I'm babysitting in a little bit, so I got coffee instead. Cheers!
