This is the second dog in the last two weeks that we’ve had come in to our hospital with this type of bone stuck around it’s mandible. Separate companies but the EXACT same design.

Please do NOT buy this type of bone for your pup! It’s not worth the risk. Luckily for this patient, our technician was able to wiggle it free but our previous patient was under general anesthesia for nearly a half hour while we went through every tool in our arsenal to saw through both sides of the bone safely.
Both dogs are lucky that they did not end up with lacerations or broken teeth.

The one and only Billie Holiday and her beloved dog Mister 🥀🧡
This 1949 photo released by Herman Leonard Photography, shows Billie Holiday cooking a steak for her dog Mister in her apartment in the Harlem neighborhood of New York. The photographer, Herman Leonard, said she came to the door wearing a simple house dress and an apron and “First I thought, this is the maid.” But it was Holiday, one of the greatest voices of modern time, whom Leonard would continue to photograph throughout her life.

Pets in Spain are no longer considered material goods or objects, but "living beings with sensibility". This change became regulated by law in 2022. This means that they can legally be part of the family and are also required to have a national animal identification document (DNI).

The goal is to create a registry of pets to identify them and guarantee their rights.

The rule also regulates the joint custody of dogs and cats in case of divorce or separation. It also points out that they cannot be mortgaged or abandoned. The law came from a legislative initiative promoted in 2015 by the Observatory of Justice and Animal Defense.

More than 500,000 signatures were collected so that the animals were no longer considered objects in the Civil Code.

With this reform, Spain joins Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Portugal, countries that have already changed the legal status of animals.

This heroic dog traversed the interstate to lead police to her injured owner What started as a report of a dog loose on the highway ended with the timely rescue of two injured humans. One-year-old Tinsley, a Shiloh Shepherd, is getting praise and extra treats for her heroism.

So sad to hear about the passing of Betty White yesterday. I just love how she lived life to the fullest every day.
I think you can probably guess why this is my all time favorite photo of her. 😉
