Pretty good, sprained my left thumb but it isn't bad. You know how hard a 3 year old horse can pull? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

HEY! i forgot to post this yesterday!

yesterday i was driving the 5 ton rig thru HEAVY traffic, when i noticed that traffic was suddenly stopping and horns were blaring. I, having a MUCH higher vantage point than most motorists, noticed an absolutely panic stricking furry hienz57 mutt dodging vehicles and trying to escape the mayhem of 6 lanes of traffic.

so i did what every good trucker does, slam the truck into INSTANT HALT MODE, set the blinky lights on and leap out of the cab. i had on my neon safety vest and i dodged cars and made people stop. One BMW driver was trying to push the dog aside using his bumper. I slammed my hand down on the hood of his car, pointed at him and yelled STOP! Scooped up the terrified mutt (god my back is sore, poochy was about 90lbs) and weaved my way thru traffic to the curb. Poochy was shaking but calmed down very quick as i patted him and held him tight to me.

The workers at an vehicle alignment shop nearby came out with a rope and some water. Poochy had a City tag, and the guys said they would take him to the SPCA.

I had to go, but on my way back home that night i stopped in. Poochy wagged his tail and licked my hand. The manager had been taking him out for walks every hour and the dog was calmed right down.

I do believe they found the owner afterwards too!

so there is a positive blurb on an otherwise crappy day yesterday! I have more respect and compassion for animals than i do humans.

Yes I actually do.
