What are you proud of this year? I don’t wanna hear i ran 3 marathons.

I want to hear the crazy awards stuff like…I drove the same road 438 times and exclusively listened to Fleetwood Mac.

Common share your special skill or unique achievement this year.

    Rescued a whimpering puppy from a metre depth, straight down in a narrow drainpipe.

    When we got the callout for an animal rescue, I had forgot that the cat-in-a-tree type incidents are stereotypical for firefighters.

    Was a unique achievement for me.

        The pup was initially fully stuck, head first in the horizontal pipe at bottom. Coaxed it to turn around head-up, with some gentle words and tapping the top of the pipe.

        It would not bite onto a strap covered in wet catfood. One person with the skinniest arms reached down and grabbed him out.

        We had a pole-and-loop snare en route but didn’t use it.

        Good result.
