This evening, while walking my dog Sparky, I decided to try an “emergency” test.
I slumped against a tree, apparently comatose. After a while Sparky dropped his ball between my legs, then continued to drop it closer and closer. He looked to left and right but did not move away.
Three young “pre-teens” arrived on bicycles. Sparky turned, between my legs, and growled at them.
I “awoke”, gave Sparky some fuss, and asked the youngsters what they would have done if they had found me unconscious. One said: “Call A&E”. None of them were carrying ‘phones.
All in all, an interesting test, for all of us.
Sounds bizarre, but once a year I put a canoe helmet and buoyancy aid on for a bit of “body armour”, and lay on the bed. Suzanne practises dragging me downstairs in case the house burns down. I don’t practise with her ‘ cos I can still throw her over one shoulder 🙂
Regards, Chris.
