Firemen

Overheard

P: What do you think of firemen? Do you think they're hot?

S: Yeah.. they're hot!

P: How come?

S: (with a distant, far away look) Because... because they can climb things...

P: (incredulously) Because they can CLIMB THINGS? That's probably the most bimbotic thing I've ever heard you say!

S: (thoughtfully) ...and they can burst out of buildings...

P: Climb what? Ladders?

S: (with a glazed, happy expression) ...yeah... They can burst in and out of buildings!

P: Ok. Where do you think I could buy a fireman uniform?


While looking for a fireman picture to post online, I found this really sweet article. Heroic, sweaty fireman + nice, pregnant doggy. Isn't that a sweet combination?

Fireman and a Doberman

This photograph shows a red Doberman Pinscher kissing an exhausted fireman. He had just saved her from a fire in her house, rescuing her by carrying her out of the house into her front yard, while he continued to fight the fire. She is pregnant. The firefighter was afraid of her at first, because he had never been around a Doberman before. When he finally got done putting the fire out, he sat down to catch his breath and rest.

A photographer from the Charlotte, North Carolina newspaper, "The Observer," noticed this red Doberman Pinscher in the distance looking at the fireman. He saw her walking straight toward the fireman and wondered what she was going to do. As he raised his camera, she came up to the tired man who had saved her life and the lives of her babies, and kissed him, when the photographer snapped this photograph.

Doberman Pinschers do know the difference between friends and "the enemy". God Bless this fireman for taking the risk and saving her life.
