A Special Charge

A dog is sitting on a wooden deck.

A Loan From God
Unknown Author

God promised at the birth of time, A special friend to give, His time on earth is short, He said, So love him while he lives.

It may be for eight or ten years, Or only two or three, But will you, till I call him back, Take care of him for Me?

A wagging tail and cold wet nose, And silken velvet ears, A heart as big as all outdoors, To love you through the years.

His puppy ways will gladden you, And antics bring a smile, As guardian or friend he will, Be loyal all the while.

He’ll bring his charms to grace your life, And though his stay be brief, When he’s gone the memories, Are solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, Since all from earth return, But lessons only a dog can teach, I want you each to learn.

I’ve looked the whole world over, In search of guardians true, And from the folk that crowd life’s land, I have chosen you.

Dog Surprisingly Saves Man’s Life by Biting His Toe

A dog with a leaf in its mouth.

One weekend night after one too many margaritas, Jerry Douthett passed clean out. While he was intoxicated his dog, Kiko chomped off most of his right great toe. Despite the unusual circumstances, Jerry is thankful for his dog, saying “he saved my life.” Jerry admits he never would have gone to the doctor if it’s wasn’t for the chewed off toe. By seeking treatment for his toe, he found out that he had diabetes and that his blood sugar was dangerously high.

Typically, dog bites are not positive but Kiko is being praised as a hero.

It is thought that Kiko could tell that Jerry had an infection brewing in that toe and chewed it off while Douthett slept off the alcohol effects.

Visiting the Hospital

Once Jerry made it to the hospital he found out that his big toe required removal. Kiko apparently knew more than Jerry did and could tell something was not right. Jerry found out his blood sugar at the hospital was way over the normal level of 60-100. He was, in fact, many times over normal and registered a blood sugar of 560. He found out he had Type 2 diabetes.

Jerry’s wife had left him to sleep off the margaritas back in the bedroom. She heard a bunch of screams and when she went to investigate as she heard him yelling “my toe’s gone, my toe’s gone.”

The Pre-story

A few months before Jerry ended up in the hospital, he had noticed a strange, small area on the bottom of that toe. He took matters into his own hands and started to pick away at the area. Soon he cut away part of his skin with a knife, hoping that would help. Instead of helping the healing process, it made his toe skin swell up so much that he had to ditch the shoes for sandals.

“It smelled, and I look back now and realize every time we’d visit someone with a dog, their dog would be sniffing all over my foot.”

Hello, Neighbors!

My name is Charleston Chew and I’m very sorry for my howling.

I’m an old man now, with cataracts, and sometimes I get real scared because I can’t see where I am and can’t find my mom.

As I get used to my new place, I will start to settle down.

Thanks for being patient with me. I don’t mean to be such a pain.

Stationed in the North Atlantic, D.K. Adams suffered three concussions and blunt force trauma during his service as part of the Coast Guard during the Vietnam War. Over a 30 year period, these injuries resulted in Veteran Adams losing most of his sight. He has endured over 33 surgeries to his eyes. This has included a partial corneal transplant in his fight to keep the five percent vision that remains in his right eye.

 

To journey through his challenges, Adams turned to writing. He has authored a series of books for children, all featuring his service dog Ace.

 

Adams has channeled his struggles with losing his sight into writing a series of books, including three children’s books, starring his service dog, Ace.

 

The book series centers around Ace and shows the world from his dog’s angle. This whimsical approach shows readers the perspective of visually impaired people and the types of trials they can face.
