yesterday, a member of my committee saw three paint horses, and black two pot bellied pigs on some acreage just outside of the town in which we both reside. the animals were clearly not being fed regularly, and so i rang up the animal control officer on case number, to discuss feeding options/vet care for the animals. after our conversation, the officer telephoned back to let me know the human was open to receiving help from my committee.

we would establish an account at a local feed store as well as pay for one month of food and supplies, plus vet care.

now, the animal control shelter is not famous for working with the humane society in my county, but there have been small steps made recently in a positive direction [granted, most of which are not of their own accord] - but who cares however the shelter arrives at these means of actually supporting the animals.

being on a committee of the humane society works in my favour for getting inside - speaking with the officer, and working together for future cases of this nature - in the past, for whatever differences between shelter and humane society, there was no such chance. i like the flexibilty that i have with being a buffer in certain situations- because it is always about the animals.

my neck was on the chopping block at the onset of the issues at the animal control shelter, bringing to light the dreadful hidden secrets inside the shelter. i did not mind. the payoff was yesterday.

tomorrow is brighter even, and everyone can hopefully move forward. by the looks of things, the officer already has sights set on working to keep animals with their humans- just like the mission of the humane society.

In Baltimore City, there was a Saint. He intervened when a group of children were spotted throwing rocks & bricks on a puppy. The puppy was saved. And now the puppy is being treated with tlc and his wounds are being addressed. The Saint wanted no publicity, no cash reward, no nothing. All he asked the media to do was to get the children who did this to turn themselves in. We will see.

My neighbor who had to put down his elderly shepard last year called to see if anyone adopted the dog. If not, he put his name on the list to adopt the puppy. It is a pitt bull mix.

i work with rabbits/squirrels [as you know, the department of natural resources], and live with pigs. all of these animals have the sharpest of incisors, and require hard items to chew- proper pellets [oxbow], hay cakes, and hay/grass, plus toys [bird toys can be given to rabbits/pigs]. if there is malocclusion, i would suggest having the bunny be seen by a qualified exotic pet vet.

lately, incisors have been a topic of conversation- between a friend who lived with a sweet rabbit, the lady with whom i work [d n r ], and the guinea pigs. don't let me get started on the claws [smile].

best,
