The good lady and I took a wee 11wk old foster Collie to his new home today and just down the road is a doggy day park, ie. big secure area with agility stuff etc.
So took the opportunity to get our two boys down, as Rocky the beagle x pointer escapes off the lead, the high fences and other dogs would give him plenty of exercise.
BUT near the end, Stilo's small rubber ball that i was throwing for him got stuck in his throat... He threw up a few times and dropped to the floor at which point i ran over to see what was wrong...
His tongue was a deep purple colour and he was struggling to breath at which point I looked round and couldn't see the ball... FUUUUCCCCCCKKK
Adrenaline and panic kicked in and I had me hand down his throat and he clamped hard puncturing my hand which is agony but not bothered much :(
Then he stopped breathing completely and was motionless, after about 15 seconds I got the ball out and at this point others were on hand to help, with him motionless still and not breathing I couldn't watch him die and sat away from him in a state (we have had him from a pup and i couldn't see him come to any harm never mind see him pass at not even 2 years old)...
But another 20 seconds with the owners of the day park rubbing him and massaging him as well as handfuls of water in his mouth he came round slowly...
Frightening stuff!!!
We put him in the back seat with me keeping him warm and comforting him and Jo drove to a 24hr vets in Belfast where he was seen straight away and given Oxygen as his tongue wasn't a good colour still, within a few minutes he'd had enough, went out with the vet to pee and got some steroids & antibiotics and all his stats checked which were bang on...
Got the wee man home and into his bed whilst the neighbour came across a few times to check on him and let him out while I went to A&E to get the hand seen too, THANKFULLY we are both fine (In fact the needle in me arse hurt more than him biting) :D
Longest few minutes of my life!!!
Sorry for the long post but any fellow woof owners will understand where I am coming from lol

On July 30, 2013, the Veterans Health Administration held the Connected Health Showcase at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Members of the press were invited to experience VA’s Connected Health Technologies first hand. These innovations virtually connect patients with services, allowing the delivery of Veteran-centric health care, when and where our Veterans need it. Senator Bernard Sanders (I-Vermont) (left), Chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, joined Dr. Robert A. Petzel, Under Secretary for Health, in highlighting how VA is bridging health care and information technology.VA photo by Robert Turtil.
[Attracting a mate in the animal kingdom often involves a bit of showing off, but for the Waved Albatross (Diomedea irrorata), securing a future for your genes comes down to one thing: a slap in the face. The dance includes a precise sequence of moves: rapidly circling and bowing, clacking beaks, mouth gaping, and finally raising their beaks skyward whilst letting out a "whoo-ooo" call to seal the deal. Once mated, a pair will lay just one egg per year, which they will guard vigilantly for two months.] The Waved Albatross (Phoebastria irrorata), also known as Galapagos Albatross, is the only member of the family Diomedeidae located in the tropics. When they forage, they follow a straight path to a single site off the coast of Peru, about 1,000 km (620 miles) to the east. During the non-breeding season, these birds reside primarily on the Ecuadorian and Peruvian coasts. The entire colony leaves Isla Española by January to fish for three months before returning. The juvenile albatrosses remain at sea for about five years to reach maturity before returning to Isla Española to seek a mate / Punta Suárez on Isla Española has an amazing variety and quantity of wildlife. Lazy sea lions may greet visitors at the rocky landing site, forcing visitors to step over or around them to get to the trail. Groups of young sea lions are often found nearby playing in the shallow water, waiting for their mothers to return with food. Brightly-colored red and green marine iguanas can be found lining the coastal areas near the landing site. They are the only marine iguanas that remain brightly colored throughout the year. The trail passes by a small beach occupied by more sea lions and large and colorful Española Lava Lizards. It then cuts through some saltbush, where Galapagos Hawks, Española Mockingbirds, three species of Darwin’s finches, and Galapagos Doves all go about their business. Visitors then come upon the impressive nesting colonies of Blue-footed and Nazca boobies, who make their nests right along the visitor trail near the western cliffs of the island. Swallow-tailed Gulls and Red-billed Tropicbirds dash in and out of the cracks in the cliffs. Continuing inland, the trail leads to a cliff on the southern side of the island overlooking the ocean. Waves crash into a lava fissure, creating a blowhole that sprays water nearly 30 m into the air at high tide. The highlight of this visitor site — and perhaps one of the highlights of the Galapagos Islands — is strolling along the edge of the Waved Albatross breeding colony. With a population of 25,000 to 30,000, nearly the entire world population of the adult birds can be found on Española between April and December. They mate for life and perform an elaborate mating dance, a spectacle that can last five days and may include stumbling, honking, and beak-fencing. Waved Albatross pairs produce a single egg each year and share responsibility for its incubation. Their grace in the air is sharply contrasted by their comic clumsiness on land. Lucky visitors will observe Waved Albatrosses wobble awkwardly to the cliff’s edge before launching themselves into the wind to take flight—many of them for the very first time in December. The entire colony leaves Española by January to fish for three months before returning.

That's a security guard watching over crowds enjoying the Great Pyramids.
I traveled to Egypt by myself but as part of an escorted tour. One of our companions everywhere the bus went while in Cairo was a dapper fellow, who, briefly, opened his jacket to reveal the gun he was carrying underneath. That actually made us feel more, rather than less, secure.

Day 112/365
Week 14 Theme: Something Mexican (hey I was born in Mexico, so this counts)
* We all have a story to tell. Our life story. It is an even better story when the after is better than the before. That is my story. I grew up in a very secure home. My parents loved me and raised me in a nurturing home. I had a great sister and 2 older brothers to look up to. It wasn't perfect, but it was a safe and secure Christian home. My parents were even missionaries to Mexico. They weren't rich monetarily but they made up for it in their love for us kids.Yet even at an early age I knew that no matter how secure my home and family were, I was not secure. I knew that I was not worthy of a perfect and Holy God. Even my little egotistical actions and lies of a kid were enough to keep me from His presence. I also knew that He loved me so much that he sent Christ to come die for those sins. I just wasn't sure what I could do. So, I asked the best theologian I knew - my dad. He explained that it was as simple as asking God to forgive my sins and accept Him as my Savior. It was that simple. Simple enough for me to grasp it that day many years ago. That day God saved me and became my friend for eternity. I'd be lying if I said all has been great since then. I've had many years of anger toward God. But that had nothing to do with God, it was when my ideas of what He was supposed to do interfered with his plans for my life. It was also when I looked at others as my exclusive role models and ended up being disappointed by them. Christians aren't perfect, we have just accepted His forgiveness. I being one of the most imperfect, sinful people out there. Yet when I have let Him control my life and lead me, I have had incredible peace and security! No matter what happens to me, I know He is in control and has me by the hand leading and protecting me. In Him I am completely Secure!

Governor Tom Wolf speaking with the press. Governor Tom Wolf urged the legislature to quickly pass his plan for safe and secure elections that ensures voters will receive mail-in ballots early, have time to return them, and that counties will have the time they need to quickly count the anticipated historic number of votes cast. The governor also reminded voters that the best way to make sure their vote is counted is to sign up now for a mail-in ballot and return it well before the Nov. 3 election.

Keep your home secure, and keep that burglar from spoiling your Christmas
The Greater Manchester Police Advent calendar went live in on 1 December 2012.
Visitors to the Force’s website could open a new window each day and watch a short video clip about safety and security.
To make the message as engaging as possible, it was decided to use a fun approach based around Santa and a cast of Christmas characters and locations.
The final cast included a pantomime dame, elves, comedy burglars, a Victorian Peeler and the goose that lost her golden egg. The parts were all played by volunteer members of staff. The films also featured uniform police officers and PCSOs.
The calendar was produced by the Force's Corporate Communications Branch.

Macau Tower Convention & Entertainment Centre also known as Macau Tower, is a tower located in the Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. Macau used to be a Portuguese colony until 1999. The tower measures 338 m in height from ground level to the highest point. An observation deck with panoramic views, restaurants, theaters, shopping malls and the Skywalk X, a thrilling walking tour around the outer rim. It offers the best view of Macau and in recent years has been used for a variety of adventurous activities. At 233 meters, the Macau Tower's tethered "skyjump" and Bungee jump by AJ Hackett from the tower's outer rim, is the second highest commercial skyjump in the world, after Vegas' Stratosphere skyjump at 260 meters.
The tower is one of the members of the World Federation of Great Towers. Besides being used for observation and entertainment, the tower is also used for telecommunications and broadcasting.
On a visit to Auckland, New Zealand, Hong Kong casino billionaire Stanley Ho Hung-Sun was so impressed by the Sky Tower in Auckland that he commissioned a similar one to be built in Macau. The tower was designed by New Zealand engineering firm Beca Group and Gordon Moller of Craig Craig Moller architects for Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau. Construction work of the tower started in 1998, and the tower was officially opened on December 19, 2001.
On December 17, 2006, the father of contemporary bungee jumping, A J Hackett, and popular artist Edison Chen broke two Guinness World Records at the Macau Tower. A J Hackett, broke his own Guinness World Record of "The Highest Bungee Jump from a Building" achieved in 1987 from the Eiffel Tower. Edison Chen represented Macau Tower in the inaugural jump to bid for "The World's Highest Bungee Jump Facility".

Settled in the late 18th Century by the Clay family, White Hall was built as a simple Georgian-style two-story brick farmhouse in 1798 by General Green Clay, with a kitchen wing being added in the early 19th Century to the side of the house. The house’s character changed radically with a major addition being undertaken to the side and rear of the original structure between 1861 and 1865, under the direction of architect Thomas Lewinski, which massively expanded the size of the house into a grand three-story mansion, and remodeled it in the then-popular Italianate style, with some Romanesque and Gothic details. The property around the house also includes multiple outbuildings, the oldest of which is the stone Georgian-style summer kitchen, built in 1790, with most of the other outbuildings being built between 1798 and 1865 of logs, rough-cut heavy timber, and locally quarried stone.
The main wing of the mansion features a red running bond brick exterior, hipped low-slope roof with multiple gables, Gothic brackets at the wide overhanging eaves, corbeling below the roofline, a central tower with a front gable roof, troifoil window, and paired arched one-over-one double-hung windows, a third floor balcony with brackets and a cast iron railing, a cast iron railing at the second floor, and a first floor entrance porch with decorative Gothic trim, brackets, paired square columns, stone floor and double entry door, and painted walls, a rusticated stone base, pilasters between the window bays and at the corners, arched windows at the third floor gables and second floor window openings, stone lintels and sills, and casement windows on the third floor of the rear facade. The house also has a rear ell, built in 1798 of flemish bond brick, which was the original Georgian-style farmhouse. The rear ell features a five-bay facade with two bays integrated into the main wing, a side gable roof with a steeper pitch than the main wing of the house, six-over-nine, four-over-four, two-over-two, and nine-over-six, decorative brackets at the eaves and decorative chimney stacks, added when the house was renovated and expanded in the 1860s, a stone block base, stone lintels and sills, and stone belt coursing between the first and second floors. The original front entrance porch/portico was replaced during a later renovation with an enclosed sun porch with massive four-over-four and two-over-two double-hung windows, a cornice with modillions and dentils, a low-slope hipped roof, and corner fluted corinthian pilasters. The rear-most ell of the house, which is two stories tall but has a much lower roofline, was built as a kitchen and service wing onto the house in the early 19th Century, and features a more rustic flemish bond brick exterior, a rear porch with an arched opening at the end wall, four-over-four and nine-over-six windows, belt coursing between the first and second floors, a stone block base, a decorative chimney added during the 1860s renovations, and stone lintels and sills on the principal facade. The house has an asymmetrical exterior, but appears picturesque, and has various layers of history very easily visible.
The house was home to General Green Clay (1757-1828) from the 1790s until his passing. Clay, a native of Virginia and early resident of Kentucky, surveyed much of the eastern and central parts of the state, and owned massive tracts of land in what is now the Kentucky Bluegrass, and was one of the wealthiest men in Kentucky during his lifetime. Green Clay owned slaves and ran a plantation out of White Hall. Upon Green Clay’s death, the estate was divided among his heirs, with his son, Cassius Marcellus Clay (1810-1903), inheriting the lands that included White Hall. Cassius Marcellus Clay, an abolitionist, freed all the slaves he inherited upon his father’s death, and helped found the town of Berea, Kentucky, donating ten acres of his lands in Madison County to abolitionist John G. Fee, whom founded Berea College in 1855. Clay was a supporter of the Republican Party in the 1850s and 1860s, being appointed as an ambassador to Russia by President Abraham Lincoln, during which time Clay’s wife, Mary Jane Warfield Clay, oversaw the renovations and expansion of the house. Clay ended up staying in Washington, DC during the outbreak of the Civil War, rallying 300 volunteers to guard the White House and US Naval Yard from potential confederate attack, as no federal troops were stationed in the city when the war broke out. Following the deployment of federal troops to guard the city, Clay departed for Russia, where he served as ambassador, securing Russia’s alliance with the union government of the United States, and was instrumental in having Russia issue an edict to the United Kingdom and France declaring Russia’s support for the union and opposition to any potential aid that the other countries would give to the Confederacy. Cassius Marcellus Clay returned to the United States in 1862, where he heavily influenced President Lincoln’s decision to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. Clay then returned to Russia in 1863, where he remained until 1869, assisting in William H. Seward’s endeavor to purchase Alaska.
Cassius Marcellus Clay was the father of two prominent women’s rights activists, Mary Barr Clay (1839-1924) and Laura Clay (1849-1941), both of whom pushed for women’s rights to vote and act as free agents in society. Both women were prominent supporters of women’s suffrage in the state of Kentucky and the south as a whole.
Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. was the birth name of world heavyweight championship boxer Muhammad Ali, whose father had been named in tribute to Clay. However, Muhammad Ali later rejected his birth name name as being a “slaveholder’s name” of someone who “held onto white supremacy” that he felt he did not identify with, heavily influenced by his involvement with the Nation of Islam, a controversial Black Nationalist organization.
The house became part of the Kentucky State Park System in 1968, and was restored with assistance from the Kentucky Mansions Preservation Foundation and Beula C. Nunn, wife of then-governor Louie B. Nunn. The house opened to the public in 1971 as a house museum. Unfortunately, despite the house’s historic significance, due to declining attendance and a decline in heritage tourism in general, the house was handed over to Eastern Kentucky University in 2019 as a cost-saving measure. However, the house remains open for tours and events.
