My 15+ year old German Shepherd got a lump on her face. I thought it was cancer. It was just a tooth abscess. She lives to howl in joy again…IMMD.

Tail Gate for Dogs may rehab canines who were confiscated from abusive owners
Safe Humane Chicago’s Court Case program rescues dogs who come from abusive or neglectful homes and trains them so they can be adopted. Dogs are put through a rigorous observation period to determine if they have the capacity to be rehabilitated. Seventy-five out of 116 of the dogs have successfully been rehabilitated and placed in loving new homes.
Now a new business opening in Elmhurst is going to help with the socialization process. Tail Gate for Dogs, a dog day care, will temporarily house some of Safe Humane’s dogs until adoptive families can be located. The new space and large play area will let staff and volunteers see how the dogs react to new people and other animals. It also helps the dogs build relationships and trust people again. So far, Tail Gate for Dogs hasn’t had to turn anyone away.
“So many have been so responsive and we’ve been able to give a number of them another chance in a great home and great life,” one Safe Humane volunteer said.

My cat went missing recently and I hadn't seen him in a few days. Today, I went to the animal shelter with a photo of him, but he wasn't there. The workers advised me to return every few days to see if he turned up. I went home, crying. And who should be sitting in the chair on my porch, but my cat. Having him back, safe and sound MMD!

I was having a bad day at work where nothing seemed to go right. The shop next to ours is a coffee shop, the owner came in and gave us a free smoothie, coffee and cupcake each! That little bit of kindness to help our staff through the day really MMD!

Gift of invention: Boy with Asperger’s syndrome attends IUN med school workshop
Thirteen-year-old Noah Egler was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome at an early age. He talks freely about it, and says its what makes him him. He has always been curious and intelligent, his room full of science projects and electronics he’s taken apart, but his mother worries about him. She says he’s had a hard time fitting in and was losing his optimistic outlook. She says she worries that school has become too little a challenge for him.
That changed when Noah met Ernest Talarico, an assistant professor of anatomy. They met at a memorial service for a mutual family member. Talarico was impressed with an electronic device Noah had brought to the service — an alarm Noah had invented to detect flooding in his grandparent’s basement. Talarico talked with Noah, and asked his parents if they would allow him to attend a summer prosthetics workshop at the Indiana University Northwest medical school.
Noah was nervous for his first day. He read college level anatomy textbooks to prepare himself. When he arrived, he almost immediately felt at home. He was answering questions in class like an expert, and sharing ideas for new pacemakers and artificial limbs with students twice his age, many of whom went through the same struggles he has. He belonged.
“I want to help people,” he said, “and it seems like the medical field is the best way to do that.”

SarisFruba24′s Little Moment of Win
Aug. 31, 2011
One of my friends came to church on Sunday and shared that her partner had left her. She told everyone that her partner was taking one of her daughters and not letting her see her often. She cried so hard that she couldn’t light her candle. She was out of a job and broke. As soon as I had the chance, I ran up to her and gave her a huge hug. She didn’t let go for five minutes straight. All of the congregation hugged her and gave her kind words. A week later, one of the members in our church got someone to interview her for the local paper about her financial situation. Over the next three days, bags of food and helping items piled up at her door. The next time she came to church, she was smiling. She had all the stuff she needed and had a new high paying job. The next time I hugged her, she was crying, but because she was so grateful for the support that our little town and community gave her. IMMD
