Did my good deed for the day ...or year

[straycat]

I had been to my doctors office and she gave me some scripts for chest X-ray, blood work to see what else they can find wrong with me I guess...lol.
So, I stop by the Tower Diagnostic Center down the street from my doctors office and it is so crowded so I just went on to the Super Target to do some grocery shopping and then head home and put up the groceries and then I hung out at the house for awhile and then I went back to get the X-rays. Man!!! It is packed worse then before. I just head on home. I decide I will just enjoy the rest of the day.
Just before I get near the house a lady sees me driving by her house and she yells out to me for help. I stop and back up and she is saying her dog is sick and she needs to take her to the vet ASAP. I see the dog laying near the car inside the garage and I can see the dog needs to go to the vet. I park in her driveway and go inside and see this yellow lab in dire need. She has a some saliva coming out of her mouth and she seems to be coughing a bit. This girl dog is a good size lab, Man!! I talk to the dog and tell her she is so beautiful and precious and I am here to help her. It seems to calm her and the lady down a bunch. Now, I am crippled and I am not able to pick up much weight and I am not sure I am able to help but this lady really loves her dog I can see and she is so upset and it starts to choke me up as I don't want to see any animal suffer or this poor lady crying in front of me.
But...I manage to get the Lab up into the front seat of her SUV. The dog now sits up and seems to be a bit better. Maybe she was choking on a bone or some food lodged in her throat, I don't know but I grabbed her around the middle and was able to pick her up. My super strength came out to help!!!! Maybe this helped the dog out, not to sure. The lady was very happy to see her sitting up like that she told me.

Good deed done dirt cheap: but my hips, legs and pelvis are hurting real bad right now, but....I DON'T CARE!!!!! I believe we all have a purpose on this planet, and it was just meant for me not to get that X-ray for some reason and this turned out to be the reason.....

Lets hear some more of these weird stories, guys!!!!

Kudos on helping the Dog. It's a shame that most people see them as just a pet and not a member of the family. It's good that you helped. To that woman it was probably like watching her child suffer.

Alright, so here's my story. At my company we reinspect people annually for their termite coverage. Some people pay but we can't get in touch with them to schedule it. After three tries to contact them we'll just send somebody to knock on the door and ask if we can do it, or check the outside if nobody's home.


So I'm at this house and I knock on the door, no answer. Knock again and no answer. I'm about to go around the outside when I hear a very loud crash. So I wait by the door figuring somebody's home and they dropped a plate or something. So about two minutes go by and through the glass door I see a crutch appear on the ground down the hall. Shortly followed by another crutch and an elderly man crawling across the floor. So then he starts crawling across the floor of the hallway towards the door saying "help." I can't do much since the door is locked. So he manages to reach and unlock the deadbolt and I promptly open the door and help him to a chair in the near by kitchen. Now I wasn't able to see it through the glass but he had left a streak of blood all the way down the hall and into the kitchen. It looked like a scene from a horror movie.


He wasn't quite "all there" but I eventually got him to give me his wife's phone number and she said she'd head home immediately and not to worry about the paramedics since he does this fairly frequently. So I got him a drink and talked to him for a bit while we waited for his wife to come home. He was actually a really nice guy, he told me about him and his wife's trip to Rome last year and how he apparently almost got arrested trying to find a bathroom in the Vatican. He also said he had Parkinson's which is why he had such a hard time moving. Anyway his wife came home and took it from there and I went back to my stops. I still don't tell many people that story because I must say, having a bloody mess crawling across the floor at you is memory I don't enjoy picturing.

The door got stuck on our quonset-hut got stuck once, I pushed a few times and could not budge it. So I went to see if there was something stuck in the bottom track. I never found anything though.

But what I did find about 5-6" past the door (in the railing that holds the door) was a little painted turtle about the size of a quarter! Tiny little guy! If that door hadn't of gotten stuck (never did find out why) he'd been smushed. So we scooped him p into a bucket with some grass clippings, and went back to the neighbor's small lake, maybe 10 acres total (he had about 180 acres) and let him go.

My mom saved a newborn kittens life by giving it CPR and mouth to mouth. I was really friggen cold when momma cat decided to have her kittens.

Wasn't me, but back in the 4th grade, my class took a field trip to city hall on a city bus. We were headed down town when the bus driver saw someone collapsed on the sidewalk. The bus stops suddenly and every one wonders what is going on. I see the bus driver go outside and some of my teacher follow. Turns out the person must have had a seizure or something. They go the person on the bus and the driver had taken that person to the hospital. Don't remember much of that day, it was too long ago.

Man!!! That is some story, Bro!!! See, we are meant to be in a place at a certain time for some reason. It is called Fate. And don't laugh but I believe in Angels...for I have seen mine a few times!!! But...what was the blood from? Him falling down??

Another great story about Fate, Bro!!! That turtle was ment to live for a reason just as the kitten.

Darn, if your bus had not come along at that time that person might have died...Fate again.

My stories aren't that intense life-and-death I've but I've got a couple recent ones. Just after I landed in Calgary I was being picked up by on of my fellow Yukon buddies down here. I had some directions to the dorm but we missed a couple turns and ended up getting a little lost. Sure enough we see this cabby on the side of road with his Vicky up on a jack. We jump out of his Corolla and offered to help the guy. Turns out his rim was bent and had basically fused itself to the center of the hub on the rear axle. So both of us take off our hoodies, grab a side and just start reefing on this thing. After about ten minutes of hitting it with the tire iron and grunting we get it too pop off. Buddy just about rolls down into the ditch and the cabby is just grinning ear-to-ear that we managed to get it off, apparently he had been there for a while. We put his spare on for him, lower the car and get him ready to go. He says thank you so much, and offers if there is anything we need. We said "Yeah, actually." We asked him for directions to the dorm and he gives us the most specific directions I've ever heard from where we were. He sets off and we follow the directions and it worked out perfectly.

And with that same buddy just yesterday there was a collision on one of the main routes. We were just at his apartment changing the mirror on the Civic so we go done there to see if everyone is OK. There was an off-duty EMS agent there so that as covered, but of course people start driving into the merge lane to go through the cars to get on the expressway. Well we see how that is affecting the firefighters and everyone else so the two of us start direction traffic around. Getting cars to turn off the main expressway onto this side street, while simultaneously getting the cars that decided to head down it to make a U-turn back around. Some people just don't get it, we were there for sometimes before people started to get the message.

It feels good to help people, even when I was at pick-n-pull the other day people lent each other tools and help like it was nothing, the camaraderie of that place was amazing.

Great going, Bro!!! More people shoud be like this. You will get your reward one day...and you will realize that this is why you got it.
