I've used her for the last three times and I hope she doesn't move away or retire! <br /><br />We have many wild animals in our back yard. It's always entertaining between the water fowl in the creek and the animals in the yard. Skunks are my least favorite, even though they're cute, they wreck havoc with their constant digging and occasional scenting up the back yard.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-10609033702946256602018-03-04T19:45:16.457-06:002018-03-04T19:45:16.457-06:00I agree with having teachers certified in CPR. Jus...I agree with having teachers certified in CPR. Just taking the training and recertifying every 2 years gives you the confidence that you can help a person. I think that even if a person isn't CPR certified, they need to do all they can to open the airway and do chest compressions. You don't have to do mouth to mouth, but to just stand there and not try to save the person because you aren't certified just seems wrong! By the way, when my youngest was 18 months old, he was choking on a piece of meat. I automatically flipped him over and did back blows, just like we were taught all those years. I dislodged the meat and saved his life--a fact that I remind him of as needed...Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-73669407412055481192018-03-04T19:29:56.817-06:002018-03-04T19:29:56.817-06:00I renewed my CPR certification back in January.

Our school district used to tel us that even if we were CPR certified that we should never touch a student in distress, and now we’re not only encouraged to do us but are required by the state to be CPR certified. It’s so difficult and frustrating to try and keep up with all of the changes to the requirements.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06388345951821169518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-867739590598847132018-03-04T19:05:15.687-06:002018-03-04T19:05:15.687-06:00Wild boar?
