Best to start from page 1.
Certain death?
They were saved. So I guess it wasn’t certain.
Unfortunately, today this isn’t one of the good stories. :(
3 year-old mauled at Pittsburgh Zoo (painted dogs exhibit, child falls in)
My cat once tried to pull me out of the bathtub when I was taking a bath by gently holding onto my hand with her mouth. It was so cute, lol.
Didn’t want me to drown. Maybe to him it was ‘certain death’;)
I was swimming in Florida when I noticed a 13 1/2 foot alligator coming for me. He wasn’t quite 14 feet, but he sure wasn’t 13 feet even, so I’m estimating. Anyway. He was coming at me (I knew he was a male because he had horns) with a look in his eyes that told me he wasn’t there to play MARCO POLO. I knew I was a goner. Suddenly, I felt something grab me by the leg and pull me away! It was a 12 foot alligator! He did this rolling-thing which is I guess some kind of alligator greeting ritual. He then buried me under a bank to hide me from the other alligator. What a pal! I crawled out and went home. I realized I hadn’t presented him with an award. So, I went back and found him and gave him the Remington 12 Gauge Slug Award right between the eyes. I’m sure he treasured that award. I made some boots out of him.
