A Happy Place

[theGinsue]

As you may (or may not) have heard, I went fishing @ Eleven Mile this last Saturday (July 10). Once done fishing as I was loading my gear into my truck I noticed a dog collar on the concrete wheelstop in the spot next to me. When I picked it up I saw it had several tags, including rabies vaccination, etc. on it - as well at the dogs name and 2 phone numbers. The rabies tag was for El Paso County and the phone numbers were 719 (My county & area code). While I didn't know if the owner was from Colorado Springs I at least hoped they were as I'd decided one way or the other I was going to get the collar back to the owner.

Once home I called the first number on the tag and left a message. About 1/2 hour later I received a call back from that number. Kayla, the woman who owned the dog, told me she was out of town and would be back on Sunday but that her parents had been watching her dog. They'd taken the dog to Eleven Mile on July 4th and lost the collar. She was thrilled the collar had been found and would be returned. She told me she'd come by and pick up the collar when she returned on Sunday. Sunday I got a text that her fiancee would come get the collar. When he arrived he had Layla, the catahoula beagle the collar belonged to.

Layla has a dog named Layla? That's pretty unusual. But, at least Layla (the dog) isn't naked anymore! Good for you for doing something nice.

[Whoops...the dog is Layla, the woman is Kayla....still confuses me -T]

Last time I saw her, she was just a little red dot.

The other day, I was cleaning out some no longer relevant photos from my phone, and came across pics and videos of my dog when she was just a puppy 16 months ago.

Clumsy meat hook retard learning about life....damn cute though.

It brought a smile to my face, and some warmth to my heart.

So, with all of the negativity and grumpiness in the world and with it seemingly getting way out of hand over the last year or so, I thought we could use a thread full of positivity.

If anyone has anything heartwarming or positive to share please feel free to post about it here.

Maybe you did something kind for a stranger? Maybe a stranger surprised you with an act of kindness? Maybe you experienced some sort of positive event recently in your life and just want to share the story?

Debbie Downers and Negative Nancys feel free to peddle your goods elsewhere.

uh huh......

2 weeks ago I got a call about 6:30 a.m. from my 86 yr old neighborhood that she'd fallen and thought she'd broken her hip. When I got there she was half in and out of her back door on the porch. She didn't want me to call 911 at first. She was lying on a carpet and I had a straight shot to the kitchen so I pulled her into the kitchen. Trying to get her up in a chair was a nogo and I realized 911 wasn't an option. Westminster emt's were a fantastic team and got her into the ambulance and to the hospital. She was operated on the next morning and up with help and short walks on the next day and home the day after. 4 days away !!!! I continue to help her every day with chores she can't do. I'm not tooting my own horn here just want folks to be aware of seniors around you and keeping an eye on them if something like this happens to them.

Oh, I?m plenty guilty of being grumpy and spreading negativity.

Trying to make amends by giving everyone a place to focus on the positive things in life.

Here?s a fuzzy little bunny to prove my heart is in the right place. Placed him in a flower pot while I mowed and released him when I was done.

Wife saw a hawk take off carrying a snake.
Yesterday a robin got a baby snake.
She is HAPPY, she does NOT like snakes.
I like them.
