#greyhounds as pets

[galgolove]

Neste vídeo, falo sobre a saúde mental dos tutores/donos de cachorros, sejam eles adotados ou comprados. A nossa expectativa sobre o dog e sobre como esperamos que ele impacte positivamente a nossa vida (o que nem sempre acontece) também fazem parte desse importante – e tão pouco abordado – tema. Minha ideia é falar sobre as coisas boas sobre ter um cachorro na nossa rotina, mas também sobre as dificuldades que a ‘vida real’ traz, e como a nossa visão ‘idealizada’ dos doguinhos pode atrapalhar o processo.

Momo is back from the wonderful bone artist (Allison Doty) who made her memorial for me. I’m not really an ashes person but also wanted to have something to keep and remember Momo. Everything that she was came from inside this skull and I am so happy to have this piece, and her back home with me. You can also see the neat pathology of her open fontanel (skull soft spot) that never closed up normally.

Here’s my old gal at 17 a few months before she passed 🖤

1. Rooftop Solar Keeps Getting More Accessible Across Incomes

��The long-term trend is that the median income for a household with rooftop solar is getting closer almost every year to that of the median income for owner-occupied households.”

2. Endangered seabirds return to Pacific island after century-long absence

“"No native species were harmed during the removal of invasive rats from Kamaka Island,” Esposito said. […] The team also collected and planted native sedges and grasses while removing invasive trees to enhance nesting conditions.”

3. First-of-its-kind crew welfare measure adopted at Pacific fisheries summit

“The new measure establishes minimum standards on board, including access to clean food and water, medical care, and sleeping quarters. It stipulates that workers have “unfettered access” to their identity documents […] and “unmonitored access to communication devices to seek assistance.””

4. Greyhound racing is increasingly rare worldwide. New Zealand now plans to outlaw the practice

“New Zealand’s government rushed through a law to prevent dogs from being killed while the industry winds down, unless a veterinarian deems it unavoidable. This will prevent owners from euthanizing dogs for economic reasons, Peters said.”

5. Possible Win-Win for Wildlife Management and Food Security

“Wild-harvested meat donation programs can help improve food insecurity while also helping manage overabundance of wildlife species like white-tailed deer[…. In one program,] hunters donated 600,000 meals. But that’s only 5.7% of the amount of venison that food donation facilities could use, according to the Food Bank Council of Michigan. The researchers say this suggests there’s room for scaling up these programs.”

6. Poll of American Farmers Shows Strong, Widespread Support for Increased Farm Bill Conservation Funding

“The polling, which surveyed over 500 farmers and ranchers across the country, found broad support for continuing and increasing funding for climate-smart agriculture conservation programs.”

7. Long-distance friendships enhance trust in conservation efforts

“Relative to a person with no long-distance friends, having even just one friend in another village led to a 15% increase in conservation activities such as beach cleanups, reporting illegal fishing practices and educating others about sustainable resource management.”

8. Two major Sunshine State airports make switch to 100 pct renewables

“Power for operations ranging from lighting and air conditioning to escalators and charging stations will be provided from renewable energy projects [...] at the beginning of 2025, ensuring clean energy operations for the more than 8 million passenger journeys averaged each year.”

9. Expansion of federally subsidized public housing may offer a path out of LA's homelessness crisis

“[… A] half-cent sales tax [was] recently approved by L.A. County voters expected to generate $1 billion per year to address homelessness. […] “Metros with higher concentrations of federally financed public housing tend to have lower rates of unsheltered homelessness," Schachner said.”

10. $20 Million Available to Advance Habitat Restoration Priorities of Tribes and Underserved Communities

“Through this funding, NOAA will help support community-driven habitat restoration and build the capacity of tribes and underserved communities to more fully participate in restoration activities.”

I painted a picture of Rio for Mum's Christmas present. "Riona" means "queen", so I had an eclipse be her crown.
