Thank you for all the awesome name suggestions! Meet Kalahari (Kal). Bat-eared foxes are native to the Kalahari desert, so the name was ear-resistible!
Lots of people asking me for links to help the dogs. Gathered them here...

I’d urge you to just enjoy 22 seconds of this quiet gentle morning scene with audio. The 5 rescued puppies having their breakfast.
The Spice Girls are all doing well. That’s obviously ginger spice (Geri Haliwell) walking into the food 😂 (1/3)
🚨 @USFWS FAILED to protect wolves in the Northern Rockies from senseless slaughter. Wolf management in the region is horrific enough to trigger an emergency status review, but somehow doesn't merit federal protections? The fight to #RelistWolves goes on! https://t.co/AYXLOkEIZE
Dog Poisoned by the Diffuser
Saturday night I got home late and my dog didn't recognize me. Being a nanny I thought I woke him up and he was having a night terror. Sunday, he was still acting weird. I realized that I had been running my new diffuser and decided to turn it off. Sunday afternoon, he was feeling better.
Today at work, my dog sitter said that he wouldn't come out from under the bed. It was very odd as he is a happy dog.
I came from work early and again, he was very confused about who I was.
So I took him to emergency vet.
It turns out that the tea tree oil I was using in the diffuser is toxic for dogs. Thankfully the test showed that his liver was ok but we weren't out of the woods yet. He was given fluids under his skin to get the toxins out.
The vet and the poison control are saying that they see these cases often now that the popularity of essential oil is growing.
Please make sure that the essential oils you are burning are not toxic for your pets.
Here is a list of essential oils not to use if you have a dog at home
Anise (Pimpinella anisum)
Birch (Betula)
Bitter Almond (Prunus dulcis)
Boldo (Peumus boldus)
Calamus (Acorus calamus)
Camphor (Cinnamomum camphora)
Cassia (Cassia fistula)
Chenopodium (Chenopodium album)
Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum)
Garlic (Allium sativum)
Goosefoot (Chenopodium murale)
Horseradish (Armoracia rusticana)
Hyssop (Hyssopus sp. with the exception of Decumbens)
Juniper (Juniperus sp. with the exception of Juniper Berry)
Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris)
Mustard (Brassica juncea)
Oregano (Origanum vulgare)
Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium)
Red or White Thyme
Rue (Ruta graveolens)
Santolina (Santolina chamaecyparissus)
Sassafras (Sassafras albidum)
Savory (Satureja)
Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare)
Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
Terebinth (Pistacia palaestina)
Thuja (Thuja occidentalis)

This is Luna. She was just dreaming about being a boxer while under anesthesia. Has the "float like a butterfly" part down, still practicing stinging like a bee. 13/10

Midwesterner trying to ask someone for a favor: hey could you help me with this thing? Absolutely no pressure though. Totally ok if you can't. If you'd rather run me over with a car that's alright. Do you hate me?
Sweet smiles from Nutmeg! Also known as the tree fox, the grey fox is the only member of the dog family that can climb trees. It has short powerful back legs with hefty claws to grip the tree and push the fox up while its front legs grab the sides of the trunk like a cat.
