California Woman Praises Dog for Saving Her During Mountain Lion Attack: ‘I Owe Her My Life’
On Monday, Erin Wilson and her two-year-old Belgian Malinois Eva were taking a walk near Northern California’s Trinity River when a mountain lion charged at Wilson, ripping through her jacket and scratching her shoulder, Wilson told The Sacramento Bee. She added that the mountain lion began growling at her.
“I yelled ‘Eva!’ and she came running,” Wilson said of her 55-pound dog, who was walking ahead of her off-leash at the time of the attack. “And she hit that cat really hard.”
“They fought for a couple seconds, and then I heard her start crying,” Wilson told the outlet. “That’s when the cat latched on to her skull.”
The dog owner intervened by punching the mountain lion and used rocks and sticks to hit the cat, who fought back after Wilson attempted to choke the animal and gouge out its eyes. Still, the mountain lion refused to let go of Eva, so Wilson says she ran to her car to grab a tire iron and get help from drivers passing by.
Wilson was able to flag down a woman named Sharon Houston. Houston told the publication that she grabbed a four-foot PVC pipe and pepper spray. Together, Houston and Wilson attacked the mountain lion, who had pulled Eva away. Once Houston sprayed the cat with pepper spray, it finally loosened its grip and ran away as Eva escaped to Wilson’s pickup truck.
Wilson drove Eva to the closest emergency vet clinic, which was 90 minutes away. On the way, Eva experienced convulsions.

The end of this article ends on a hopeful note for Eva, but a follow-up tells a sad tale. Eva eventually succumbed to her injuries.
I figger this is a brunette worth mentioning. She ain’t Audrey Hepburn, but she sure was something.

Shannon, I salute you for being a link in the transport chain to get Katfish’s lady and her belongings delivered to her relatives. Very kind of you, sir. <3
32 Texpat Katfish’s Bama Belle needs to get to Memphis. Her brother is in Texarkana. Her Memphis son will come get her from there. I was going to buy her a plane ride to Memphis but she’s got more clothes and incidentals than I’m willing to put on a plane. Funny…… I turned down a free stay in a nice… Read more »
It sure sounds like it. We cleaned up the leftovers, I had fish, fries, hush puppies N coleslaw, wife had roast beast, rice w gravy and English peas. We both thought that we made out fine but wife really liked hers. 😉

You need a very good reason to drive all the way through Deep East Texas to get to Texarkana. I hope you have one.
Shortly after Hubby and I got married, his relatives in Atlanta, TX (not far from Texarkana) were building a house, and Hubby was going to do the plumbing. He left Friday, and I was staying behind. I woke up Saturday morning in a rare white tornado mood. I was going to clean our home, top to bottom. Highly motivated. Then… Read more »
Eckermann’s Smoked Sausage, Spicy Charro Beans, and probably a couple slices of bread, Grampa.
We eat fancy around here on Friday nite.
Going to get a a couple of front tires in the morning at Disc Tire. They still have a little meat on them, but I have a strong feeling that a trip to Texarkana is on my near horizon. That would be a first for me.
Five and a half solid hours through the pine trees.
Ugh.
And gummy worms get a cheese puff texture.
Tedtam – my cousin’s daughter told me that I need to try that. There are directions in the Harvest Right booklet – and a “candy setting”… But since my primary purpose at the moment is to get as much nutritious food socked away, shelf-stable, as possible, before “things” get out of hand and food ain’t affordable anymore – I figure… Read more »

The Trump team treated the DeSantis launch as if it were a debate, flooding inboxes with “Truths” that we wouldn’t otherwise see and blasting DeSantis for his record and more. What’s very clear is that even though Trump’s strongest support is among the most conservative voters in the GOP, he intends to attack the Florida governor overwhelmingly from the left. “He’s… Read more »

I found a bunch of money owed to me on the state’s unclaimed funds web page. Most of it was deposits I put down for utilities on some of our properties. I just got the check today, over $1K. Gonna put it aside for Nat’s cousin to come live here with me, some time in the future.
Not the first time I’ve heard of something like this happening. At least it’s in Florida, where I doubt he’ll be set free.

Between the wet winter and spring I really don’t remember the last time I washed the van. The first eighteen months of ownership I was almost a Super Dave maniac about washing it.

#21 TP: Yes, he should sue each and every one who defamed him. He can easily show monetary damages due to his loss of endorsements. The judge who slapped a gag order on Favre should be tied to a tree and whipped 3/4 to death.
Man, the muscle relaxant half-pill I took this morning (because, boy, was it needed!) just knocked me out for almost an hour.

There’s just too much going on out there to follow everything, but one story I regret not chasing down is the racist media assault on Brett Favre’s reputation.

RE: Your linked article
I went to Texas Children’s Hospital’s profile page for Dr. Kristy Rialon and it turns up blank. Dr. Robert Ogden Roberts doesn’t show up on the TCH website either.
Poof ! We never heard of these doctors !
However, they both still appear as faculty at Baylor College of Medicine.
Didn’t Joe Biden used to boast that he was Catholic? I think he still claims to be a Catholic but he has been an ardent supporter of murdering babies for 30+ years so NO!

Teachers’ Union Told LA Dodgers Students Could Die If Drag Queen Nuns Weren’t Re-Invited to Pride Night

I was reading about mirepoix since Shannon mentioned Fay using it in her recipes. It has an interesting history and versions across Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Cajun cooking.

Merrick Garland is a vicious, vindictive SOB who has decided to ignore any ethics or principles in his campaign of revenge for being denied a seat on the Supreme Court.
