Good samaratin saves Boone!

What a scary thing to go through. I hope you and the baby and Boone are all all right! What a great man to help you out.

The man was sent by God, no doubt. And yes it was an important life lesson that his little boy learned, even though he was so young and may not remember it. I just wish I got his name so I could include his name in my prayers. For now I just call him Boones heaven sent hero.

I'm still shook up about it, but I feel better today. I was a little nervous about hoisting a 70 pound dog over my head, which is what I had to do to get him close enough for the man to grab hold of. I know you're not supposed to lift anything heavy, and although Boone is small for his age, 70-73 pounds is a lot of weight to hoist. I feel fine today though. I jumped in the shower when I got home and hubby bathed Boone. I just rested to calm my nerves and prayed that our baby was OK. I took it easy the remander of the day yesterday.

Red clay is awful stuff. In Michigan where I come from there is no such a thing. The earth is rich black soil, and some places have a sand mixture. If you've never experienced it, you probablly have little idea how slippery it is, if even just slightly damp. We won't go down that trail again, it's just too dangerous. There are other places in the park I walk them to let them run off lead. the trail isn't really wide enough, and way too rough of terrain anyway to push a baby stroller, so once baby is here it won't even be possible to take that trail.
