I was in LA and i saw a hawk! In a tree! It was sitting on a pigeon it had probably caught!

I pointed it out to a bunch of strangers cuz like, yeah i know LA has hawks but that's totally different than seeing one! In person!

Anyway, thought you'd like to see this magnificent beauty

wow!! what a great sighting! fella looks like a magnificent cooper’s hawk to me!

How's your cat doing? (only if you want to share, no pressure at all) My cat and I are sending your kitty and yourself healing purrs if wanted <3

(typing this on my phone in the passenger seat of a car, will edit any grammar mistakes later)

I appreciate the well wishes very very much <3 unfortunately, he's not doing so well. It's unfortunate, but we are gonna have to get him euthanized in the upcoming days. He's around 16-17 years old at minimum (might even be older) so it wasn't entirely unexpected, but unfortunate nonetheless. He's just got some anti-pain and anti-nausea medication so he won't be in pain and we will be spending a lot of time with him until then.

If anyone would like, I could post some pictures of him

This is going to be an unpleasant post but I need to talk to y’all about heat stroke in dogs. I am an ER vet and I am seeing firsthand the death toll that this heat wave is taking on our pets. In the past two weeks, for every single weekend shift I have worked, we have had at least one DOA with a body temperature over 107 degrees. One of them had simply been on a 20 minute walk at 5pm. All of them were brachycephalic (short faced breeds like pugs and french bulldogs). Their owners were in shock that this could happen so quickly, and their grief lingers with me.

If you have a dog, and especially if you have a brachycephalic dog, you need to familiarize yourself with the signs of heat stroke. Do not take your dogs out in the heat of the day, be aware of the pavement temperature, and always have fresh water available for them. When I am outdoors with my dog I am checking on him constantly. This heat wave is extremely serious; I need you to keep yourself and your pets safe.

as a huge lover of birds, 90% of the concern against wind turbines being used for energy is literally just pro fossil fuel propaganda. birds ARE at a risk however there is a lot of strategies even as simple as painting one of the blades that reduces a lot of accidental deaths. additionally renewable energy sources will do more in favor of the environment that would positively impact birds (and all of us). one study found over one million bird deaths from wind turbines. while that is a shockingly high number and we should work to drastically shrink it, at least 1.3 billion birds die to outdoor cats on a yearly basis. it was never about caring about birds

“Äiti itki. Isä lähti huoneesta. Vivian istui nurkassa ja kuunteli vaiti. Kissamme Minni hyppäsi vuoteelle ja käpertyi jalkojeni päälle ja kehräsi, sillä kehräämällä parannetaan sairaita.” — Emmi Itäranta. Kuunpäivän kirjeet

“Mom cried. Dad left the room. Vivian sat in the corner and listened quietly. Our cat Minni jumped on the bed and curled up on my legs and purred, for through purring the sick are healed.” — Emmi Itäranta. The Moonday Letters. Quote tranlated by me (unofficial)

Honestly I came here for the abstract feral dog art but im def staying for the anthro dog yaoi 😩👌

Thank you! Sometimes you get abstract feral dog art and sometimes you get anthro dog yaoi. ✨ Variety ✨

Edit: realized that since I've gained a bunch of followers during the past few months, a lot of you probably haven't seen my non-oc canine art.
