Please read this if even a consideration .

💉 There are many variables that come into play when deciding if heartworm preventative is necessary for your pet—location, temperature, humidity. While it may not be possible in all environments to have our pets prevention be completely chemical-free, I don't use injectable heartworm prevention.

Long-acting injections may seem convenient, but once given, there is NO antidote to reverse side effects which may include the following adverse reactions: anaphylaxis, vomiting, diarrhea (with and without blood), listlessness, weight loss, seizures, and death.

Today I said goodbye to a longtime friend. Perhaps he may have chosen that "name tag" to be something a bit more well, sentimental.
You see, I was Toby’s sole beautician/groomer, (ok he cheated on me once, a quick lesson in forgiveness). I claimed Toby as my fur-ever friend, a teacher, a magical bright bouncy light of joy, a majestic black beauty, a wisdom keeper, a doggie of great patience, presence and peaceful alure.
Toby was surrounded by those that were lucky enough to have shared in the deepest human understanding of love. We held hands and hugs, we cried tears of grief, of impending loss. Perhaps his family silently wondered what the next few hours, days, weeks, months would hold. With the routines disrupted, the bowls and beds barren, the half empty bottles that claimed some borrowed time. Were they already listening for the sound of the jingle jangle of tags that claimed a domain of permanence, silenced once and for all.
Was I holding dear to my heart and hand the fur that creased though my fingers oh so many times. A memory slid forward of the pride I took in his finished blend of statue and grace.
As the snow drifts silently down upon us, I give gratitude to Toby, his family and all that allowed for the passing of one existence to another. And for allowing me the opportunity to stand witness to pure love of life.
He will be missed, and never forgotten.

The car in front of me did not slow down enough to warrant saving the life of a squirrel. The squirrel appeared happy, jolly like, bouncing his way from the winter leaves to the cool street pavement. Only to roll and tuck and sleep eternally. My tears flowed almost in a dry heave. Begging as I witness and asking out loud, why didn't you slow down, you could have saved him, he could have made it across to the other side. Why didn't you slow down! Why didn't you slow down! WHY didn't you slow down? Did that squirrel sacrifice his life just so I could "hear" the message? Happily going along, until not. Asking myself why didn't "I" slow down? The world was calm in that moment, sun shining for the first time in weeks, wind at a standstill. All else felt calm........until it wasn't.

Perhaps you can resonate with Squirrel's message.
