Tina Ann Byers: It is so important to know Dog CPR. Within the last year, my 19 year old Yorkie, Paras, had 3 cardiac episodes and Dog CPR brought her back each time. Paras continues to enjoy an excellent quality of life -- and it just would not have happened if I did not know Dog CPR.Tina Ann ByersProud Yorkie Mommie of Tashia (5), Paras (19), Arnold (13 - Special Needs) and Baby Gabby (11 months - Special Needs)

Do you believe in canine guardian angels and the kindness of strangers? You just might after reading this story.

Early one morning, Yolanda Segovia's neighbor, Stacey Savige, knocked on her door and asked her to temporarily take in a stray dog she had found. The scruffy terrier mix had no collar or microchip. Segovia eyed the pooch -- burrs sticking to his belly and mud caking his fur -- and reluctantly agreed to foster him for the day.

An erstwhile hairdresser, Segovia hasn't worked since 2006. At 47, she is a survivor of breast cancer and cervical cancer. A divorced single mother of two, Segovia shares her Port Tampa, Florida home with her 10 year-old son Azaiah and 21 year-old son Christian. Her elder son has Down Syndrome; he cannot speak or bathe himself, and he has had heart surgery and a kidney transplant, reports the St. Petersburg Times.

Gibson, recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's tallest dog, died Aug. 7 after a battle with bone cancer. The harlequin Great Dane was 7 years old and measured 7 feet, 1 inch tall when standing on his hind legs. The California pooch, shown with owner Sandy Hall in 2005, was a certified therapy dog and appeared on several TV shows.

He was diagnosed with the disease in April and had his front right leg amputated to prevent its spread. He also underwent chemotherapy as a precaution.
Gibson's owner, Sandy Hall, learned last week the cancer had spread to his lungs and spine and that no treatment that could save him. Hall decided to euthanize Gibson on Friday.
Gibson appeared on "The Tonight Show," "The Oprah Show" and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," and on Japanese television in 2006 after being named the world's tallest dog.
I met Gibson in 2008 at the Luxury Pavillion Faire and at the Los Angeles Mission Circuit.  I will have to find my pictures of Gibson.  What a beautiful specimen of a Great Dane.

Subject: Prayer For The Stressed   
I think this may be the appropriate time for us all to pray together:


Lord, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can not accept, and the wisdom to hide bodies of those I had to kill today because they pissed me off…

And also, help me to be careful of the toes I step on today, as they may be connected to the ass that I may have to kiss tomorrow…

Help me to always give 100% at my tasks….. 12% on Monday, 23% on Tuesday, 40% on Wednesday, 20% on Thursday, and 5% on Fridays.

And help me to remember that when I’m having a really bad day, and it seems that people are trying to piss me off, that it takes 42 muscles to frown, and only 4 muscles to extend my middle finger and tell them to bite me.

Amen…
