Yes we do! Congratulations! :)

This is what i miss from wfh. My morning commute buddies.

As a heart patient, I find this so touching.

Who says animals are dumb.

Sure he helped MILLIONS of animals to survive!

Our village used to be cut off by flood waters every year and I know a few of the elderly ladies used to rather look forward to being taken out to the shops by either a strapping farmer or the firefighters (the only locals with machinery to get through the floodwater).

Damn those onion ninja's

I did the same. You can't imagine the sigh of relief every time I'm home.

Back in the late 50s or early 60s we acquired a puppy from a neighbor whose dog had given birth to a litter. We named her "Cocoa". We had another neighbor whose 7 or so year-old son had never spoken a word even though he was otherwise physically and mentally normal according to doctors. (Nowadays he'd be diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum.) Anyhow he loved Cocoa, Cocoa loved him, and the first word the kid ever spoke was her name to call her to him. Before the year was out, the kid was not only speaking and otherwise behaving normally for his age but was actually somewhat advanced.

Too often people with autism are judged as dumb, unless your name is Einstein. My mother (an elementary school director) taught me that most people are not able to look beyond their own IQ and so, when they don't understand a very smart person, they want to put them in a place they do understand: below themselves. Which is a pity because that is the reason that very smart people and also people with autism often don't live up to their potential, just because nobody understood and/or was willing to see them in their own right.

So cynical I had to look this up. Yup. After a PE teacher gave him attention leading to goals.

Awesome!!

He looks so proud. I am proud of him also. What a good man who worked to get what he desreved, wanted, and was detained to be!

Wow....damn!!

FANTASTIC!

Autism is not mental retardation. The brain wiring is different than the usual, but once it gets figured out, that brain can sometimes work better than one with the usual wiring.

Sometimes you just have to want to do something to accomplish it.

love rthis site--love this story!!!!

That kid now has someone that has his back 24/7/365

Oh man I love this list :D

And that is why we want medical progress, not going back to the dark ages without vaccines. What a beautiful couple, and how happy his parents must be.

Wow! That's incredible!

Heh heh

You go girl!!!

Oh look! There’s a forecast for rain in my eyes starting now!

I guess that's his mum in the background. Heartbreaking, but also so wonderful. New life will come out of his death. I hope my death will be similarly beneficial one day...

This little boy is going to go far in life

💓

I like it too :)

I love his smile! :)

Future model, this one.

The next stage is say, "Hi, how are you?" and other small items of chit chat. :oD

This is one of the sweetest things ever.

If you find this, do take a copy. In one image, my Dad was clearly visible sitting in his house. I went looking for it a few days ago, and the image (about 12 years old) had been removed.

Our dog use to do this, as soon as us kids went to school she would sneak up to the nursing home, they loved her there because she calmed down a lot of patients, she would leave when it was time for us to come home from school. When she died they put a little plaque in the garden for our Rosie girl.

Good employer. Too many stories are the opposite.

John is a really good man. I hope Misha is able to have a more stable life now.

God bless you, George

Heart breaking :(.

Everyone deserves a mom like that! Congrats to both of them!

Aww, poor baby. I hope this good girl has such blissful naps forever

His name was Odin and he was a Great Pyrenees. There was a fast-moving wildfire and the family HAD to evacuate. Odin refused to leave his herd of goats. The owners did not have time to load the goats onto a trailer (wildfires move FAST) and Odin refused to leave his herd. They had their other pets (cats and dogs) in the car already, but Odin wouldn't get in. Livestock guardian breeds are bred to be independent, intelligent, and stubborn - they are designed to "make decisions" about protecting their livestock when a human isn't present to give them commands. So Odin refused to leave his charges - because a livestock guardian dog protects his herd. So when the family tried to evacuate, Odin refused to go with them. Odin survived the fire and kept his herd alive as well. When they came back, there was Odin, the goats, and even some deer that Odin was protecting as well.

Must be a deer friend

Haha! Good one
