That's my girl, Colleen, get the pictures first. I can't think of any BPers who wouldn't have done it in the same order, if we knew that "Larry Lizard" was going to be OK, eh… What a great photo, well presented, and the story was also terrific. Well done, my very dear friend - Allan #502550

thanks for all the great comments, Carolyn, Jan, Joy, Theresa, Bonnie, Allan, Donna, Paul and K...
I knew from my CPR class that he had a pulse cuz that thing under his throat was poping out at me, so I didn't think he needed the rescue breather... #502597
