Look At This Resilient Dog of the Day: A Welsh Corgi named Ole, who managed to survive the avalanche that killed one of his owners, surprised his family by showing up four days later at their motel room in Cooke City, Montana.
“I just saw it outside sitting by the room, which is pretty amazing,” said avalanche specialist Mark Staples.
Dave Gaillard of Bozeman was killed after being buried by an avalanche southeast of town in Hayden Creek. His wife Kerry managed to escape by clinging to a tree.
“His last words to me were, ‘Retreat to the trees.’ I think he saw what was coming from above, that I did not see. That reflects Dave’s amazing quality — thinking of others,” she told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.
Ole was believed to have been buried under the snow as well, but must have tunneled his way out. Still, the trek back to Cooke City was likely treacherous, with temperatures below freezing, and deep snow that would be taxing for the dog’s short legs.
“How in the world he made it, I don’t know,” said Kay Whittle, the wife of a local businessman who returned the pup to his family. “If he could just talk — who knows what he did from the day of the avalanche until today?”

Lost And Found of the Day: The legendary 1954 Gibson Les Paul Custom used by Peter Frampton in Frampton Comes Alive! has been returned to its original owner 30 years after the Talkbox King lost the musical instrument in a plane crash.
A cargo plane carrying Frampton’s equipment to Panama crashed in 1980, leading many, including Frampton, to believe all contents were destroyed.
Two Frampton fans who never gave up hope traced the guitar’s journey from the crash site to the Dutch island of Curacao, and, with help from the Curacao Tourist Board, managed to locate its present owner and convince them to part ways with it.
Frampton and Gibson experts authenticated it in Nashville last month, and much jubilation was had by all.
“I am still in a state of shock, first off, that the guitar even exists, let alone that it has been returned to me,” Frampton told Spinner in a statement. “I know I have my guitar back, but I will never forget the lives that were lost in this crash. I am so thankful for the efforts of those who made this possible.”
Following a few “minor repairs,” the 61-year-old plans to “reinstate” it as his #1 guitar.

When [God] doesn’t seem to respond to our prayers, it may not be because He’s chosen not to speak; it may be that His answer is already on the way.
So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover’s life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God.
