In the absence
—of required effort
(Sleep…and rest)
—arising into—
Sacred gratitude
—(for breathe—
and the connections
—so empowered)—
that in safety
—culture might—
declare
—(a day—
holy & sacrosanct)
—honoring—
a Freedom
—and—
the possibilities
—that it brings…
In that silence
—(on that day)—
consider Love
—(and the Truth)—
it spawns
—(that freedom—
might come)
—and in its—
space & time
—(allow the Good—
all types
—of treasure)
The consequence
—of Choice—
and Cause
—so predictable—
to the souls & minds
—of the Wise—
and
—Wonderful…
A sacred space
—in history
(When names)
—look…again—
A Respect
—permitting—
community
—so diverse—
in talent
—and benefit—
(that a government)
—might rise
Discerning
—magistrate—
from Majesty…
A power of a people
—good and tolerant
Decrying abuse
—and protecting—
a future as thin
—as cobwebs
Easily fractured
—and swept away—
(by players
—so dependent—
on the crimes
—abuses & lies)—
they enable
—as they curse—
the cobblestones
—permitting their—
so luxurious
—travel…

Hello puppy
—(what’s your name)…
More importantly
—(what’s your game)…
Shall I sit here
—for awhile
Letting you see me
—(or should I)—
smile and reach
—(holding fingers—
still)
—until—
you reach
—and sniff
(Collecting data)
—with which—
(you may choose
—to come—
or hide)
—or simply—
move
—(just out—
of reach)
—as eyes watch—
(as ears listen)
—giving—
consciousness
—a sacred Chance—
(a choice)
—with consequence—
we both are
—willing to share…

I’ve posted a few things today on screwworm fly. Many clients are using Credelio and research indicates it works well. In this study, 100%. These drugs are highly effective against fleas and ticks, but can exacerbate seizures in sensitive pets. Don’t be afraid. Talk with your veterinarian.

Lotilaner demonstrated a rapid onset of action and a high efficacy against C. hominivorax. We therefore recommend lotilaner for the effective treatment of myiasis in dogs.

This study is a small patient population, but appears intriguing for screwworm control. At this time, the FDA has not approved it, so this is an extra label application. Since we don’t have any known present issues, it’s nice to know that Nexgard was found to kill screwworm larvae.

New World screwworm (NWS) myiasis is an infestation by Cochliomyia hominivorax larvae that consume the living tissue of warm-blooded animals, including humans. Domestic dogs are among the potential hosts of these flies that lay their eggs on the edges of wounds. NWS myiasis cases can be fatal if unt...

Screwworm fly is in the news as a potential threat for dogs, cats, humans and other warm blooded animals. Cover any wounds and keep pets clean. A new drug has been approved on an emergency use status by the FDA. At this time this issue is not a real local risk. Be aware but don’t be afraid.

Washington, D.C., February 18, 2026— Today the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued two Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) – one for NexGard (afoxolaner) chewable tablets for the treatment of New World screwworm (NWS) infestations (myiasis) in dogs, and the second for NexGard COMBO (esafoxo...

Our phones seem to be repaired and stabilized. Let us know if you experience any issues. We are open normal hours now.

As of 6:30am June 1, 2026, we have NO phone service. We’ve been experiencing lots of difficulty with phones, but today there is nothing. If you call, you’ll get an out of hours message but no live people can receive or interact. We may have to close. Events are in progress attempting to remedy this situation. Watch here for updates.

Happy Memorial Day. We are closed today and reopen tomorrow.

‘Twas never words
—that bested beasts
But bravery
—and purpose…
Persistence held
—(until the victory)…
What sacredness
—possessed—
(to bring
—gentle incarnations)—
the ability
—(and verve)
To hold the line
—(to…advance)—
as bullets hailed
—(and Death—
took its part)
—of so many—
friends
—and foe alike…
For freedom
—(they rose)…
For freedom
—they fell…
That each of us
—(might—
use our freedom
—well)…
And from the
—dreams—
(of hearts
—and minds)
Come to find
—(wisdom—
to create)
—the Better—
worthy of
—such great—
sacrifice
—(as history—
now records)
—in photo lacking—
the stench
—of war
And the misery
—caused—
by those
—who follow—
lies and liars
—(so wicked in—
the things)
—they do & say…
