That took so long to download irrelevant Javascript, images
and CSS that I gave up after just seeing the first paragraph.

It's presumably just a few K of text and a couple of photos,
information which could have been loaded in about a second.
CBC's web designers need to be lined up against a wall and
shot.  I'm never visiting their site again.

Rat, cats rescued and resuscitated following Idaho apartment fire

Firefighters resuscitated four cats and an albino rat from a charred
apartment in this southeastern Idaho city.

The animals received oxygen after the Monday blaze through a special mask
designed for small animals. The Pocatello Fire Department bought it two
years ago.

Fire officials say electrical failure likely caused the fire, which resulted
in at least $10,000 in damage. No people were injured.

Firefighter Kirby Jonas, who whisked the rat to safety, said he was
astonished anything survived the flames that engulfed the apartment. He
found the rat huddled in blackened bedding.

"If I were betting money, I would have put down $10,000 that anything in
that cage was dead," Jonas said Monday, adding that before he exited the
apartment, he did notice something on a wall in the room: A poster of an
albino rat with a halo over its head.

One cat didn't survive the blaze.
