After Beau's legal team received two hearing dates, we thought Beau had a good chance, but once again the powers that be have pulled a fast one! At Tuesday's Board of Aldermen meeting in Dyersburg, TN Beau was discussed. A city attorney would NOT confirm the ordinance was legal and basically the aldermen were told no one wanted Beau dead. The next day, a motion was filed to vacate the stay of execution by the ci Click Here to Read Entire Story

Dress Warmly and Stay Dry Dress in layers.   Wear a hat. Be sure the outer layer of your clothing is tightly woven, preferably wind resistant, to reduce body-heat loss caused by wind. Wool, silk, or polypropylene inner layers of clothing will hold more body heat than cotton.   Stay dry —wet clothing chills the body rapidly.   Excess perspiration will increase heat loss, so remove extra layers of clothing whenever you feel too warm.   Avoid getting gasoline or alcohol on your skin while de-icing and fueling your car or using a snow blower. These materials in contact with the skin greatly increase heat loss from the body.   Do not ignore shivering. It’s an important first sign that the body is losing heat. Persistent shivering is a signal to return indoors.   Infants less than one year old should never sleep in a cold room because infants lose body heat more easily than adults. Hypothermia When exposed to cold tempera...

The maned wolf is a unique canid species. Despite its appearance, it is not closely related to foxes, wolves, jackals, or to domestic dogs; instead it may be the only modern survivor of a group of South American canids that went extinct about six million years ago. At one point, its one-of-a-kind "roar-bark" could be heard throughout much of eastern Bolivia. Now the maned wolf is classified as a threatened species. In Bolivia, where less than a thousand of these fascinating creatures remain, its habitat is rapidly being cleared for agricultural production. This includes the Beni savanna, a biologically rich area that is home not only to the elusive maned wolf, but also to the critically endangered blue-throated Macaw and other rare animals. You can help. Rainforest Trust is matching your donation,  so your gift of just $15 dollars will purchase and protect an entire acre of the best remaining habitat for the maned wolf in the Beni savannah.

You can help animals affected by the Colorado flooding. On September 15, 2013, the president declared a major disaster in Colorado. Weather patterns conspired to generate massive flooding that damaged homes and businesses and destroyed critical infrastructure, including roads and phone lines. The National Guard and other emergency responders have rescued more than a thousand people from areas cut off due to washed out roads and high waters. When natural disasters strike, pets as well as people are affected; they too need emergency shelter, food, and water. Shelters need help providing for the animals in their care, repairing facilities, providing food and medical care, and replacing water-damaged supplies. Every donation makes a difference in the lives of animals. You can help.  Donations through this Gift That Gives More™ are earmarked for emergency rescue and recovery efforts for Colorado's animals in need, and the shelters caring for them.

For many veterans, it can be hard to return to normal life, performing daily activities, connecting with others, or managing stress of what they've been through.  Trained service animals offer a way to manage the symptoms of  PTSD  without resorting to the antipsychotics often prescribed to these veterans. Millions of animals, meanwhile, sit in shelters and foster homes, waiting for a place to call a home of their own. Congress has acknowledged this discrepancy with the Dog Training Therapy Act, legislation that directs the Department of Veteran Affairs to carry out a pilot program to train service dogs for veterans in need of therapeutic care for post-deployment mental health. Such a pilot would lay the groundwork for a large-scale program that could benefit the hundreds of thousands of veterans suffering from  PTSD . Rather than prescribing more pills, this legislation provides veterans with alternative care that can be integral to their recovery.  ...
