January 21, 201214 yr when I was a kid we had a dog named Nelly Bly...it was a cur dog and friendly from the dog pound...then my bolivian grandparents came to live with us in California and when Nelly had a litter of pups my bolivian grandmother drowned them and tossed them in the trash as she presumed that the litter wasn't welcome...Nelly had been with us for awhile and my bolivian grandmother didn't understand; she was just being a bolivian country woman...Nelly Bly then ran off and we didn't see her again...I found the wet puppy carcasses when taking out the trash... some years later a close friend who was in the dorms at university took on a puppy then dropped out of school to look after it...she was a really smart person but didn't like university and then took menial jobs so that her and her dog could live together in pet friendly accommodation...I thought that she was nuts as she could have pursued anything that she wanted successfully... she treated her dog like a human and didn't want me to speak badly of it when in earshot when I criticised her for wasting her life in pursuit of 'dog comfort'...but her dog grew on me and became my dog as well and there was an episode when the dog was kicked by a horse on a ranch in Arizona and we drove frantically for an hour to the vet in Flagstaff to get her well and she survived...my friend swore that she would kill the horse if anything happened to her dog and she was the sweetest woman in the world... when the old dog died I cried and I held her before she was put down as she always knew me...she was really human in that regard...my friend comforted me before she allowed her own grief, just like humans do with other humans... in third world countries dogs are not pets and I don't like them and worry about rabies and etc...but mostly I fear an attachment that can be more lethal (read discomforting), emotionally...

February 25, 201214 yr Years ago, while on a hunting trip in Northern British Columbia, I saw a grizzly bear do exactly that. He climbed up a steep snow slide about 1500 feet to the ridge above. And, just as I thought he would continue up the ridge towards me the grizzly took a belly flop and slid all the way back down again at a break neck speed. But, again, just as I thought he might injure himself on the rocks below he rolled over and dug his claws into the snow to stop his slide. He did it a second time and after that I no longer had any interest in shooting an animal who seemed to enjoy life so much.

He did it a second time and after that I no longer had any interest in shooting an animal who seemed to enjoy life so much. in mountaineering terms what the grizzly did is called an 'arrest' and is what humans do when sliding down an ice slope then dig in their ice axe to skid to a halt...I did it a couple of times in the Sierra, effectively or I wouldn't be here to tell the story... one time a partner did a glissade with me on belay a rope length below and it was afternoon and the snow was soft from the sun and he couldn't arrest as his ice axe couldn''t grip...and he came tumbling past and screamed: 'hold on to the fcukin' rope!...'...I stopped him with the rope about 20ft from a 200ft drop...he vomited then came up to the ledge where I was with some beginners and man were they scared...a storm was coming in and we needed to get down fast... tutsi looked death in the face and was unafraid...(hurrah!) can't remember the name of the mountain; it's the big one on the right as you head over Tioga pass going out of Yosemite in California...
February 28, 201214 yr Awesome story, tutsi. Having been is somewhat similar situations I can just see it happening. Here's another doggy picture...

June 1, 201214 yr Some dogs in north Pattaya that picked up on 3some, but i didn't want to get entangled in the whole thing so i just took a couple of shots while driving by on my bike 2 male & 1 female, not my thing for sure but each to his own. The female is the one smiling the most, to the right, and i suspect the male in the middle just joined the party. They were all unable to disconnect... Edited June 1, 201214 yr by poanoi
