This story (http://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/2007/03/14/494986.html in Norwegian and too long to translate, but you can see the pictures) is about Taylor (left), the Aussie shepherd, who woke up his Mom (right) and wouldn't let her go back to bed until she'd checked the front door. There she found a confused elderly lady who'd been walking for miles, in her stocking feet, with an ambulator. It was well below freezing outside and the woman was thin clad with bleeding feet, so she'd have died by morning if Taylor hadn't woken up his Mom for the rescue.

And then some dogs are simply heroic

Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

Jen,
the one about the dog? That was from D.on Wheels. I'm looking pages back for inspiring story from Deb, maybe I missed that.
I've got lots of catching up to do on TD. Where's the TOC?
This time change has me beat and confused. Woke at 3 am could not get to sleep so looked at smartwool. Then back for a nap and
woke at 8am.
Good thing I'm off work today (I think 
)

off to walk the dog, then take a nap. Where is the jersey that says "is it nap time yet?"

With all my typos I had to triple check to make certain I did indeed put type the correct letters. Originally Posted by Trek420

If there is a jersey with that on it, I definitely need to buy one. Originally Posted by Trek420

I have today off too. No one but my manager knows it - well, I guess they will figure it out when they don't get any reports from me today.
I'm going to the doctor this morning for my regular check up. I finally get brave and call the new doc I picked from my HMO/PPO -- damn if she isn't out on maternity leave! So I'm seeing her substitute.
Later I'm going to see my friend BobS for a massage - super deep tissue. I've got knots in my shoulders and back that I should name, they've been there so long.
Most important - my Sidi shoes have arrived at REI! I'll pick them up after the doc appointment.
