Good dogs!!!
From NBCNews
“Child welfare officials have taken custody of a newborn girl who was found abandoned in a plastic grocery bag by passing dogs in Cypress, Texas.
The infant was in good condition at Texas Children’s Hospital but was lucky to be alive, doctors and law enforcement officials said.”
“”If it had not have been for the resident that came out to walk her dogs, that child may have laid there all night (and) possibly would have died,” said Harris County sheriff’s Sgt. Gordon Trott told NBC station KPRC of Houston.

Good Humans.
People everywhere will go to extreme measures to rescue a person or critter in distress. This wasn’t as extreme as some of the rescues of dolphins or whales tangled in fishing lines.
They’re all interesting.
And the critters seem to know.
I saw one where a woman untangle a sting ray. It then started to swim away, then came back, as if to thank her.

And here I was just wondering why it feels like I live only to serve the cat and dog.
May I open that door for you?

Gotta love dogs.
I do think there is some connection we have with all creation. We share the same Creator, after all.

Emily’s ex still thinks Kane is his dog even though Kane has been with us for over a year, & he (R, the ex) hasn’t paid for any dog food or vet bills. But now that Kane is dying of bone cancer, he volunteers to take him out & shoot him, to avoid the expense of putting him down when the time comes.
No, thank you.

One of our cats lets me know when it’s time to go to bed if I happen to stay up too late. Is that a useful skill, I wonder?

Linda – Yes. Your cat obviously is very concerned that you get enough sleep. 😉

Misten lets us know when it’s time to feed her . . . sort of. She’s so subtle about it that it’s easy to miss. She basically just stares at you, and if you happen to notice the stare, then you look at the clock. She has missed very few meals in her life, but she has missed one occasionally. She simply never transitions from a stare to whining, putting her face on my leg and looking pitiful, or anything really obvious. So I keep track of the time, and so does my husband, and between us we usually manage to feed her within 10-15 minutes of the appointed mealtimes.
We usually feed her early on Sunday, before we go to church. One Sunday he was staying home sick and I didn’t feed her, figuring he’d feed her “on time” instead of feeding her early. When I arrived home, right away he asked, “Did you feed Misten?” I told him I hadn’t. He said that during the morning he looked at her several times to see whether she was trying to give him the “I’m hungry” stare, and he even went into the kitchen a few times, figuring that if she was hungry she’d follow him and look expectant. But she just ignored him, so he decided I must have fed her. But then the moment she heard my car coming home, she starting whining, and he thought she was saying, “Finally she’s home! I can eat!” (She doesn’t usually respond that way when one of her owners returns home.) It was early enough in our marriage that even though he fed her occasionally, apparently she was still thinking of me as the person who fed her, and she didn’t think to tell him that she was hungry; she just waited for me! But she had to wait two or three hours past her normal mealtime.

Should I have put my story of Lucky the chickadee on the pet post?

We have a cat named Nosey. Every morning when she hears my daughter get up she goes to the top of the steps. We have a half door at the top. No pet’s in the bedrooms. She will sit there quietly until my daughter comes down the hall to the bathroom. At that point, the yammering starts and continues until Liz comes down. When the door opens, the cat charges downstairs and waits by the drawer where the treats are. Everyday. My daughter says she has her trained, but I think it’s the other way around. 🙂

Whenever our dog, Keva, wants something, he just comes over and rests his chin on our knee or leg. If we don’t respond right away, his chin just gets heavier and heavier – and his big brown eyes get more pleading – he’s so cute!
