K-9 Veterans Day

Joseph White, a retired military working dog trainer, came up with the idea for K-9 Veterans Day. By his efforts, his home state of Florida recognized the day in 2009. Other states have since recognized it as well, although it has not been recognized on the national level. The day is dedicated not only to K-9 veterans of the military, but also to customs dogs, search and rescue dogs, police dogs, border patrol dogs, and secret service dogs. March 13 is the date of the holiday because the K-9 Corps was created on March 13, 1942. The Quartermaster Corps of the Army began training dogs on that date, making it the moment when dogs officially became part of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Three months before Pearl Harbor, U.S. Army Sgt. Robert H. Pearce started a small K-9 command program at Fort MacArthur in San Pedro, Los Angeles. He brought Hollywood dog trainer Carl Spitz on board. (Spitz was known for owning and training a Cairn Terrier named Terry, who was best known for playing the role of Toto in The Wizard of Oz.) In January of 1942, they began asking people in Los Angeles to bring their dogs to Pershing Square to be used in the war effort. Over 1,000 dogs were brought, including Rudy Vallee’s Doberman Pinscher, King, and Mary Pickford’s German Shepherd, Silver. The program was known as Dogs for Defense. These dogs would go on to be used by the K-9 Corps.

Originally, thirty breeds of dogs were accepted by the K-9 Corps, but this was narrowed down to seven: German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies, collies, Belgian Sheepdogs, Doberman Pinschers, Eskimo dogs, and Malamutes. New dogs were first given obedience training. They were then given additional training to be a scout or patrol, messenger, sentry, or mine detector. Within eight to twelve weeks they completed their training. The original idea was to have 200 dogs in the K-9 Corps, but by the end of World War II, the number had ballooned to more than 10,400. Most of the dogs were family pets.

Although dogs were first formally trained for military service during World War II, they have been used in war since antiquity. More recently, some were used informally during the Civil War. During World War I, the German, British, and Belgian armies used them to pull carriages and wagons loaded with guns and supplies, to pull telephone lines, to carry messages, and to comfort those who had been injured. About 7,000 dogs were used in World War I, but not only a few of these were from the United States.

As of the late 2010s, over 2,500 dogs actively serve in the military, and about 700 are deployed overseas. Military dogs sniff out bombs and weapons, search and patrol, perform guard duty, and serve as companions to those who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. Military dogs are usually German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, or Labrador Retrievers. Dogs in the military now can receive medals and awards, and they often have retirement and memorial services held for them. In law enforcement, dogs began being used more in the 1970s. These dogs patrol, perform search and rescue missions, and detect drugs, explosives, cadavers, and arson accelerants. Dogs in both military and law enforcement roles, as well as dogs in other similar official roles, are all honored today.

How to Observe

Here are some ideas on how to celebrate the day:

If you have, work with, or train a military dog, law enforcement dog, or dog in a similar role, make the day extra special for them.

Contact your representatives and encourage them to support a K-9 Veterans Day on the state or national level.

Support K-9 Courage, a group that provides healthcare assistance to retired police and military dogs, and gives support to service dogs who assist veterans with post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury. You could help raise funds or have your own dog participate in “Dogs Salute Dogs.”

Learn about notable dogs who have served in the military, such as Sgt. Stubby, Chips, Lex, and Cairo.

Visit a memorial dedicated to dogs, such as the War Dog Memorial at the March Field Air Museum in Riverside, California; the War Dog Memorial in Hartsdale Pet Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York; the National War Dog Cemetery and War Dog Memorial at Naval Base Guam; The Pennsylvania War Dog Memorial; or the Military Working Dog Teams National Monument in San Antonio, Texas.

Visit Sgt. Stubby, who is stuffed and on display, and covered with a blanket that holds his medals, in an exhibit titled “The Price of Freedom: Americans at War” at the National Museum of American History.

Watch a movie or documentary about military or police dogs such as Max, Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero, War Dog: A Soldier’s Best Friend, Megan Leavey, or War Dogs: America’s Forgotten Heroes.

Sneak Peak to Solar Opposites in: Mighty Solars Issue #1: “A Mighty Solar”

artwork by @caramelflavoredcrayons

Korvo approaches Terry down the wedding hall as he smiles at his beloved Terry. Phoebe smiles at the two aliens as Jesse started to shed a few tears.

Pastor Philip: Do you, Terry Wearspreada, promise to love Korvo, to honor and keep him safe in sickness and in all health, for as long as you both shall live?

Terry: I do.

Pastor Philip: And do you Korvo? Take Terry as your loving husband? To keep him safe in sickness and in health?

Korvo: I do. softly nuzzles Terry’s forehead with his Terry, on this day, there is never anyway I would say. I promise, no matter what happens, I won’t let anyone or anything come in our way.

Terry: And Korvy, I vow to let anyone or anything harm you too. Because, you’re my man and always will be.

Pastor Philip: And by the power invested in God, I now pronounce you husband and husband. You may now kiss the groom.

Terry and Korvo kiss as the wedding bells chime. Phoebe smiles in tears of joy at her friends’ happiness, Jesse smiles, Yumyulack just gagged and the Pupa started crying in happiness. Korvo and Terry then dance away as the sunsets. Music in this scene:

Five months later…

Korvo and Terry were sleeping in their bed as Korvo opens his eyes softly and smiles at Terry, who is still asleep. Korvo kisses Terry on the forehead. Suddenly, a crash is heard. Terry whines.

Korvo: quietly Don’t worry darling, I’ll be right back.

Korvo heads up to his lab. He searches up the crash and finds out it is a meteorite. That belongs to a dark lord from space.

Korvo: What the heck is a meteorite doing here on Earth-4? Better warn everyone tomorrow morning.

[weepingwidar]

Mattia Guarnera-MacCarthy (British, 1999) - Skin Template (2022)

[chaoticacecard]

Finally got around to using the relationship chart for my three ocs!

I'll only write for the ones that isn't just "they know each other/are friends" cuz my ass can't think of anything for some of these.

Yap marathon under cut!

Apologies in advance for the cringe lol

Mattie Clyde

Glass Joe

Mattie is honestly impressed with how much Joe is able to keep going despite it all. He admires him to a good degree. He almost sees a glimpse of himself in there, a self that didn't give up when he was younger.

Bald Bull

Where do I even start? Bald Bull hates Mattie's guts well because the guy is like a fly to him. Annoying and no matter what it always comes back. Mattie's an interviewer, it was bound to happen. Mattie on the other hand fears the Bald Bull. Yes, he does want an interview, he knows he's not going to get Bull on his talk show, with the Bald Bull. He was very persistent at first, but the fear has gotten to him slightly.

Super Macho Man

With Mattie's insistence on giving attention to boxers, and Macho's love for it, it was inevitable that these two would become friends. Then those feelings developed into something more. Neither has said anything to the other: Mattie thinks he's out of Macho's league and also is a coward, and Macho just thinks Mattie isn't interested in him. (Someone needs to shove them in a room and tell them to talk it out lmao)

Carmen

Gossip buddies!! They love to just get together and talk about the wildest thing they saw/happened since they last met up. Also Carmen is an ear for Mattie to yap to, and ask for advice (love advice specifically hehe)

Referee

Mattie loves being a slight menace to the referee. While not in the way that some of the boxers do, but a more subtle way. The Ref is more annoyed by him than anything else. They do have a running joke of making bets on which boxer will win when matches happen, Mattie won't admit how many times he lost.

Jest

Glass Joe

Jest is very intrigued by Joe's resilience yet fragility. He also probably broke the man's hand the first time they shook hands. Joe on the other hand, does enjoy Jest's company, but is kind of terrified of him. He's a robot! Literal metal, and easily took him out when they had their match. He's got to be careful around Jest just incase, he doesn't want to break something outside of the ring.

King Hippo

Jest at first was very avoidant of King Hippo. Not from intimidation of his appearance, but because his a king. Royalty. Jest isn't too good with, and fond of, royalty. It reminded him of the one thing he was once made for and failed at. At some point Jest had tried to finally talk to Hippo, make a joke and all. He expected not much, a sigh or maybe a frown, or even a comment. Laughter was the bottom on his list. He had actually entertained someone, royalty non the less. He then tended to gravitate to Hippo and before long they formed a friendship.

Aran Ryan

Jest at first really tolerated Aran, even with the cheating. Then came the pranks. Aran was quick with figure out how gullible Jest is. Even with all the knowledge Jest has he's very easy to persuade and trick. Which has led to Jest being the scape goat for failed pranks, and victim to them. Jest really hasn't been able to trust Aran for a while now, he's done with listening to him even if Aran sees this as harmless play.

Soda Popinski

With Jest being a robot, there needed to be someone who could do in-depth check ups on him. Why not send him to those scientist that are involved with Popinski? They could probably work with him, even fork over a few dollars just incase. Well, the scientist agreed and soon Jest was in a lab about to be poked and prodded. This was about one of the only time he became very hostile and freaked out, he hates being looked inside especially random people. Which led to some inconvenient wrestling with Popinski and being held until the check up was over. Which led to Jest hanging out with Popinski. Which led to a friendship, and then a crush developed. Love still confuses Jest and he's scared to act on it. Popinski sees Jest a good company and has a slight feelings to but has a more relaxed outlook on it.

Mr. Sandman

Jest is content with his placement in the World Circuit mainly of fear of fighting Sandman. He hasn't even tried. Even if he is a robot, metal and steel. He can't help but feel terrified. Sandman holds a confidence and intimidation that Jest just can't shake off. He also can't get the idea that Sandman will hit him once in the head and he's head will spring out like a jack in a box.

The Referee

The Ref doesn't get paid enough for this. Before the WVBA decided to send Jest off for a bit, they had put the responsibility of Jest's maintenance onto the Ref. Was he qualified to do this? Nope. It was annoyed at first, especially with how defiant Jest was with the check up. Then Jest started to ask questions, the ref was one of the first people he met. Jest started to see the Ref as a familiar figure. Someone to rely on. The Ref isn't too sure about any of it, really doesn't get paid enough for this, but he does see Jest in a slight familiar since.

Colt MacCarthy

(I haven't made a post about this oc at all. Honestly he's the most uncreative out of the three, but I love him too dearly.)

Bear Hugger

Fishin' buddies :] besides that they share recipes with each other and cook.

Don Flamenco & Carmen

(Ok so this one's a long story that I gotta make short) So, Colt and Don had gotten close during the TD when Don and Carmen had broken up. At the time Colt had started to develop feelings for Don. Then Don and Carmen got back together. Colt, not wanting to ruin the two's relationship, started to pull away. He continued to hang out with them from a distance, almost clueless as to why they were so insistent on wanting to be near him. Don and Carmen had to spell it out for him he was that unaware and distant. But in the end they ended up in a relationship.

Aran Ryan

Colt tries his best to be honest in the ring, so when he went up against Aran he was thrown in a loop. He'd never met someone so willing to cheat, and really only for the thrill of it. It did bother him, but that didn't stop him from forming a rivalry with Aran. Some bickering, tussling, and in the end they shake on it and leave.

Super Macho Man

Colt has been unable to win against Macho and its safe to bet that he'll be there for a while. Which had led to these two becoming unlikely friends, and obvious rivals. They bicker verbal a lot, all bark no bite. Yet in the end they can set aside their rivalry for moments of just hanging out, usually some form of beach activity. (Colt has definitely somehow buried Macho in the sand to where only his head was sticking out)

Congrats!!

You got to the end!

(Honestly I felt like this writing it the whole time)

so uh yeah, thank you for reading all of this! :] and if you got questions, very fair if you do lol, then just ask!

"What makes Byron's journal remarkable is not just the accretion of immediate detail, but the mingling of the inconsiquential and the reflective, the sense of inner harmonies, that brings the writer and the revolutionary in his labyrinth so thoroughly to life."

[readingoals]

I started this book back in November last year but with one thing and another didn't finish it until the second week of January.

It's actually been sitting on my shelf since since some time in the early 2010s when I was reading more nonfiction than fiction. But it's page count is in the 600s and while I'm very interested in the Romantic era, I'm mostly drawn to Mary and Percy Shelley. So this biography has been intimidating me for so long and it feels so good to actually get it off my TBR

It's very thorough and a really great introduction to Lord Byron and his most famous works. I really enjoyed reading it, getting a better understanding of why the mad, bad and dangerous to know poet is so remembered today. I think Fiona MacCarthy does a really admirable job of celebrating Byron's achievements and explaining his impact on literature without shying away from the less than admirable things he did. She creates a very complex portrait of the poet, balancing his often contradictory nature, and making him feel very human despite his legendary status.

I also really liked the final few chapters where she delved into what happened after Byron died. Not just in how his friends reacted and the steps they took, but also in how his poems and his death impacted so many other writers, composers, and artists.
