Reminds me of the young gal jogging (Maine?). She came across a raccoon on the trail. Daytime, and it started coming at her. She knew it must be rabid, and she couldn’t escape. She tossed her earbuds and cell phone down. It lunged at her and she stuck out her arms to try to grab it.

Well, she grabbed it, but it got it’s mouth into her hand. She couldn’t strangle it. But then she noticed her cell phone in a puddle. She got the raccoon’s head under water, still latched onto her hand and drowned it - with it clawing at her the entire time.

Yeah - she had to get the shots.

My wife was a Georgia Girl and she would have separated that bobcat’s head from it’s body without messing up her make up.

She had a brutal grip and you don’t mess with a Georgia Peach.

She fought cancer for over 8 years and never once complained.

I got lucky and she found me and after that I had no choice.

Once a GA Peach sets her mind to something, forget it, she will get what she wants.

Sounds like a courageous lady!
I’m so sorry she had to deal with that.
My hubby fought cancer too, and has been 8 years clear of it!
Thank you, Lord!
Like your lady, he never complained.
Guess they raise ‘em tough in Nebraska, too!

American Badass. I hate to think about the outcome if she had been a less outdoorsy type of female person.

She gonna be sore for a while.

Cancer Fighters are a rare breed.

I am glad to hear that your hubby is clear and doing well.

I will have plenty of time to spend with my wife in heaven, if she doesn’t talk St. Peter’s ear off and tell him all of my faults. :)

I am sure she will be waiting for me and I can’t wait to see her again.

I am so very sorry for your loss.
I’m sending you a cyber hug-(((((Dacula))))))

I will keep you both in my prayers!
You will be reunited some day!
I would feel the same way as you, if I had lost him!
Take care!

God bless her, she’s wholly selfless. She thinks well on her feet, too.

She’s a young grandma——46-——when I saw the header I assumed she was elderly————good for her,though,I would have been paralyzed with fear.
