Lawn Chemicals Linked to 2 Types of Cancer in Dogs
Often the most lush lawns and gardens in the neighborhood have been liberally treated with pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, and other chemicals that neither you nor your pet should be exposed to.
According to a study conducted over a 6 year period at the Foster Hospital for Small Animals at Tufts University’s Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, exposure to lawn pesticides, specifically those applied by professional lawn care companies, raised the risk of canine malignant lymphoma (CML) by as much as 70%
Dogs at highest risk for acquiring CML were over 50 pounds and living in homes where pesticides and herbicides were professionally applied, as well as homes where owners used lawn care products containing insect growth regulators, aka chemical killing agents.
Another study performed at the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences at Purdue University concluded certain garden and lawn chemicals are linked to canine bladder cancer, including common herbicides containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxypropionic acid (MCPP) and/or dicamba.
This takes place in England – the owners of the yard added each piece of the Rube Goldberg contraption slowly so that when the squirrel learned one section and got the nuts, they then added the next section.
Finally it ended with what you see on the clip! It took over 2 weeks to
get to this point.

It starts @ 1:00!!!!!!![youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wTWWjYTe1I]Cookie the Little Penguin at the Cincinnati Zoo
Uploaded on Jan 12, 2010
Cookie is a “Little Penguin” and the mascot of the Zoo Bird House. I shot this video while working there as a Guest Keeper for book research and for my blog, “Parrot Nation.” For more on Cookie and other birds, See my blog, “parrotnation.com“
A retired bricklayer and part time fisherman, 71-year-old Joao Pereira de Souza from an island village just outside Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, discovered a tiny penguin languishing on the rocks in 2011.
The helpless creature was starving and covered in oil but de Souza took him in and nursed him back to health, naming the South American Magellanic penguin Dindim.
And, the flightless bird is believed to swim around 5,000 miles every time he returns.
“I love the penguin like it’s my own child and I believe the penguin loves me,” de Souza told Globo TV.
“No one else is allowed to touch him. He pecks them if they do. He lays on my lap, lets me give him showers, allows me to feed him sardines and to pick him up.” (source)

A foursome of young bucks fell upon some good luck Sunday as they were pulled from the icy waters of Stephens Passage by a group of locals out to enjoy the last few days of recent sunshine. These good Samaritans describe their experience as “one of those defining moments in life.” …

Medford Oregon Video Production an email forward that is going around.
Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.
“Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us. We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed.
I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat. In all my years fishing, I’ve never seen anything quite like it!
Once onboard, they collapsed with exhaustion, shivering.”
“This is a picture I took of the rescued bucks on the back of my boat, the Alaska Quest.
We headed for Taku Harbour. Once we reached the dock, the first
buck that we had been pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say ‘thank you’ and disappeared into the forest.
After a bit of prodding and assistance, two more followed, but the smallest deer needed a little more help.
My daughter, Anna, and son, Tim, helped the last buck to its feet. We didn’t know how long they had been in the icy waters or if there had been others who did not survive. My daughter later told me that the experience was something that she would never forget, and I suspect the deer felt the same way as well!”

Live Alaska loon cam up and running at Connor’s Lake
A live streaming webcam is offering an intimate look at Mother Nature [correction: “our Heavenly Father’s creation”]. The camera is trained on a pair of nesting loons at Connor’s Lake in West Anchorage. …
“In the past you could never get close enough to see anything or else you’d disturb them,” [Jean] Tam said. “But with the camera they don’t care. They don’t know you are watching them, so you can see a lot of detail you normally wouldn’t know about.”
Tam says the female loon appears to be the same one that came to nest on a man-made floating island in the center of the lake last year. Unfortunately, the eggs she laid never hatched. This year there are two new eggs and Tam is feeling optimistic.
“Watching the chicks hatch is exciting because you can see them pecking their way out of the shells. Both of them usually hatch within a day or two of each other,” Tam said.
Tam says if her math is correct the eggs should hatch right around June 30. Viewers will be able to see it all — the loon cam is operating 24-7.

Published on May 7, 2015
OF DOGS AND MEN explores a disturbing trend in American law enforcement: the shooting of pet dogs. From SWAT raids to simple calls and even visits to wrong addresses, we are seeing more and more incidents of officers using lethal force against a family pet they deem a threat. Are these rash reactions by officers in a system with little regard for our four-legged family members, or are they true peace officers doing their best in a dangerous job? OF DOGS AND MEN investigates the issue from all angles, interviewing law enforcement officers and experts, and taking a journey with pet owners through the tragedy of loss and pursuit of change in a legal system in which the very officers they challenge are an integral part.

Love this! And this is a very real possible situation that could easily happen. The story:
According to the local Russian news channel m24.ru, Ivan had stopped his car near the pond to help a motorist who had broken down. But as he was talking to the driver, he heard the dog barking for help.
The pup apparently didn’t have an owner and Ivan later adopted him, naming him Rex.
The duo now appear to be inseparable. Indeed, as they were interviewed safe and dry at home Rex affectionately wandered around Ivan. (source)

Published on Oct 31, 2014
Jim Rutkowski is the closest thing to a parental figure that a pair of 10-year-old brothers living on Anchorage’s Hillside have. He makes sure they eat food that won’t upset their “sensitive tummies.” When “the boys” are anxious he gives them sweet words of encouragement. And when they make a mess, he cleans it up as quickly as they’ll allow.
He’s not actually their parent; Rutkowski is their keeper at the Alaska Zoo. Korol and Kunali are actually a pair of Amur tigers — also known as Siberian tigers, an endangered species that has seen significant population drops at the hands of poachers and deforestation.

4/16/15 UPDATE: The Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game told community members at a meeting Thursday that the 5 bears will be euthanized out of concern for public safety. Relocation is not an option, they said.
A family of 5 black bears made their way out of a spruce tree and in the Government Hill neighborhood. Because of the early Spring, lack of natural food sources has forced the sow and her 4 cubs to search for food in the Anchorage Neighborhood, according to officials with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.

[Video] Deputy Shoots Himself in Leg While Trying to Kill Family Dog
If there is one law enforcement trend that I absolutely cannot stand or abide it is the killing of family pets by law enforcement officers.
Generally speaking these incidents are completely uncalled for and in most cases the animal represents no real harm to police officers. …
A local news station came to record some video for a newscast and observed the dog playing with several small children happily.
The deputy in question works in the documents division of the sheriff’s office and his job is to serve court papers. The deputy was most likely carrying pepper spray which has been proven to be very effective at subduing aggressive dogs non-lethally. The sheriff’s office is calling the shooting self defense.
Personally, I wish states would make it a priority to enact legislation that governs how law enforcement interacts with animals.
