🐾 Remembering the Four-Legged Heroes of 9/11 🐾

On this solemn day, we honor the memory of all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Today, we also pay tribute to the incredible dogs who played a crucial role in the rescue and recovery efforts.

Over 300 specially trained dogs were deployed to Ground Zero, each with a vital mission. From search and rescue to providing comfort and support, these courageous canines worked tirelessly alongside their handlers. Their dedication and bravery helped locate survivors, recover remains, and bring solace to those in need.

Let's take a moment to remember these four-legged heroes and their unwavering service. Their loyalty and courage remind us of the incredible bond between humans and animals, and the extraordinary impact they can have in times of crisis.

They aren't needed yearly, so join the discussion and learn what you can do to fight this.

this is an important one that you will NOT want to miss. A new petition is circling demanding that states make 'essential' vaxx's (spelling altered because social media flags the correct spelling of that word and suppresses posts) for our pets legally required yearly. Please tune in tomorrow while we discuss this concerning movement and what it means for our furry family members.

Mom scored some beef kidneys for me. Took her awhile to cut them into serving size and remove the fat. Then she froze them so she can take a piece out in the morning and have it thawed in time for my dinner. There's enough from 4 kidneys to last me about 4 months.

Want to see what I thought of them?

See my next post. Fb wouldn't allow me to add video and photos in the same post.

I'm on the fence about this one.

We live in the country in the woods and we have snakes - copperheads, rattlers and rat snakes (rat snakes aren't venomous).

I was given the vaccine at the suggestion of my vet. Several months later, I was bitten in the neck by a rattlesnake. Mom freaked out thinking it was a death sentence and made record time to the vet. She said she pleads the 5th whatever that means.

I was about 86 lbs at the time and mom couldn't see any bite marks and there was no blood. I got antivenin with the proper protocols and though swollen and very tired the next day I was home and alive.

9 months later I was bitten on the bridge of my nose. I got the same treatment. Mom thinks the vaccine may have helped. It sure didn't seem to hurt. And being a big dog might have helped, though we know of some bigger dogs that haven't made it.

I didn't get anymore vaccines as mom had learned they can have bad things like mercury in them. (If you are in shock about that, read what's in the vaccines your human kids receive).

Just a note - when you read the article and they talk about an anaphylactic reaction (you know like after bee stings for some people), you have to be exposed once to set it in motion and the second time is when you have a reaction.

So read the article and make an informed decision.

And by the way, giving Benadryl after a bite won't help. It is an antihistamine and has no impact on venom. If your dog is having an anaphylactic reaction from the bite, it may help with that reaction, but not the venom.

Unfortunately, some vets will recommend the rattlesnake vaccine. Touted to “buy time” getting to an emergency clinic or even to ward off the envenomation, the rattlesnake vaccine is an often used but poorly supported treatment for dogs. There is no evidence to support the vaccine being effective...

Glad that town did something about it.

Deputies said they found 29 dead horses and over 60 malnourished dogs and horses on Debra Catledge’s property.

Well, if a dog is aggressive he shouldn't be running loose for the mail carrier to have to worry about it. Or any other delivery person.

I understand putting a sticker on the mailbox where the dog lives, but they say they put a sticker on the mailbox at the house before that also. What if that house happens to have a friendly dog? Now you've just tagged it as aggressive. If it's going to be done, and I'm not sure I agree with it, the sticker should only be on the mailbox at the appropriate house.

Can't they just make a note that they carry with them of the addresses that have aggressive dogs?

Living in the South comes with its own set of joys and challenges. And while receiving mail may not be on the top of the list, it's still something we all look forward to.

What do you think about this?

If the owner was terminally ill and surrendered the dog, or was a POS and dumped the dog and he was picked up by animal control, in some places the dog would be automatically put down. But the owner is asking to have his best friend buried with him.
