#dog fostering

[late-tothe-party-07]

Having to give away my dogs is a weird, awful experience. Cause like one part of my brain is going, "They'll cry at the door of the foster home and wonder why you aren't coming back. They'll think you abandoned them. They'll hide in a corner and they'll never hear you call their names. And you will go back home and the dog hair will slowly disappear from everything you ever wore when they sat on your lap. You will never hold them again and when they die you won't bury them."

But then the other half of my brain is like, "They'll find a place with a yard. They'll be loved again. Maybe they forget you, or maybe they don't. They will stare up at someone else and be just as loyal. They will be happy and bark and play. It is Shrödinger's cat. They are what you believe they are, so choose a good life."

And collectively we all curl up in a ball and cry, knowing there is nothing I can hold that will feel like those dogs.

We've been approved to foster!

We're going in right after work to sign all the papers. They asked if we could take her home today, but considering we're halfway through building ikea furniture and moving rooms that's not happening. Im hoping we can pick her up Friday and then be able to have the weekend helping her settle in.

Part One; The Heart and Hardship of Animal Rescue: A Journey of Compassion and Survival

I often find people amazed by my extensive experience with animal rescue and street vet work, particularly when I share some of the most challenging and occasionally amusing stories. My journey into animal rescue began when I was just a toddler, following in my mother’s footsteps. She had been rescuing animals since she was a young adult, passing her compassion for animals onto me. Our…

Even the bag guys need a place to unwind in between episodes. These guys are all regulars here, even if some of them often question why they come.

Would you go there if you could?

1. All 160 dogs at Florida shelter found homes ahead of Hurricane Milton

“[The shelter] offered crates, food and anything else the dogs would need in exchange for the animals to spend just five days with the foster parents if the human didn't want to keep them for longer. […A]fter about a day of receiving around 100 messages every 30 minutes, Bada said, all 160 were gone from the shelter and in safe and warm homes.”

2. Restoring Ecosystems and Rejuvenating Native Hawaiian Traditions in Maui

“[Volunteers] are restoring water flow to the refuge, removing invasive species, and restoring a loko iʻa kalo using ʻike kūpuna, ancestral knowledge. […] This human-made ecosystem will provide food for community members and habitat for wildlife while protecting coral reefs offshore.”

3. Solar-powered desalination system requires no extra batteries

“In contrast to other solar-driven desalination designs, the MIT system requires no extra batteries for energy storage, nor a supplemental power supply, such as from the grid. […] The system harnessed on average over 94 percent of the electrical energy generated from the system’s solar panels to produce up to 5,000 liters of water per day[….]”

4. Threatened pink sea fan coral breeds in UK aquarium for first time

“The spawning is part of University of Exeter Ph.D. student Kaila Wheatley Kornblum's research into the reproduction, larval dispersal and population connectivity of Eunicella verrucosa. […] Pink sea fans are believed to have been successfully bred by only one other institution, Lisbon Oceanarium, in 2023.”

5. Tiny 'backpacks' are being strapped to baby turtles[….]

““We analysed the data and found that hatchlings show amazingly consistent head-up orientation – despite being in the complete dark, surrounded by sand [… and] they move as if they were swimming rather than digging[…. This new observation method is] answering questions about best conservation practices,” says Dor.”

6. New California Law Protects Wildlife Connectivity

“A new state law in California will instruct counties and municipalities to conserve wildlife corridors when planning new development. […] This could entail everything from creating wildlife crossings at roads or highways, employing wildlife-safe fencing, or not developing on certain land.”

7. ‘I think, boy, I’m a part of all this’: how local heroes reforested Rio’s green heart

“By 2019, [the program] had transformed the city’s landscape, having trained 15,000 local workers like Leleco, who have planted 10m seedlings across […] roughly 10 times the area of New York’s Central Park. Reforested sites include mangroves and vegetation-covered sandbars called restinga, as well as wooded mountainsides around favelas.”

8. Alabama Town Plans to Drop Criminal Charges Over Unpaid Garbage Bills

““Suspending garbage pickup, imposing harsh late penalties and prosecuting people who through no fault of their own are unable to pay their garbage and sewage bills does not make payment suddenly forthcoming,” West said. [… The city] has agreed to drop pending criminal charges against its residents over unpaid garbage bills.”

9. New Hampshire’s low-income community solar program finally moves forward

“The state energy department is reviewing seven proposals for community solar arrays that will allocate a portion of their bill credits to low-income households. […] New Hampshire’s strategy of working with utilities to automatically enroll households that have already been identified streamlines the process.”

10. The Future Looks Bright for Electric School Buses

“EPA has awarded about $3 billion in grants from the infrastructure law, which paid to replace about 8,700 buses. Of those, about 95 percent are electric. [… Electric buses are] cheaper to operate and require less maintenance than diesel buses and will soon be at cost parity when looking at the lifetime cost of ownership[….]”

Seriously, I just like cartoons. I wanted to try more bold lineart and colors this time around, sometimes drawing in soft colors gets boring :p

Quite proud of this one, just saying.

Oh, I love Summer so much, I just had to make some more CN art for it. 🧡

It’s such a beautiful day today and everyone is at the beach to have some fun. (And so was I earlier today, lol.)

This piece and a follow-up night one (coming soon) were inspired by the 2009 “CN Summer in Italy” bumpers.

Summer is short, y’all, enjoy it while it’s here, before the cold kicks in and the winter depression hits. Have a fun one out there and stay safe!

P.S. (I didn’t know there was a tag limit, whoops. Guess that’s what happens when I try to put as many characters in one image as I can.)
