Everybody at that gas station warned me about the dog behind the dumpster.

They said he was really mean and not to get close.

It took me three full days of leaving food before he finally let me sit beside him.

Under all that matted fur, I could barely find his eyes.

The vet shaved off almost 5 pounds (over 2kg) of knots and tangled fur that he had been dragging around for years.

A few months later, I had a completely different dog.

Now he sleeps on my bed, and some nights I look over and he’s already watching me from across the room, like he still can’t believe I came back.

If you have an old rescue dog sleeping near you right now, give him an extra scratch tonight. 🐕❤️

The rescue doggie Tsunami has officially found more than 350 people in Venezuela. He’s whipped. The exhaustion and
Tsunami’s effort are visible in his eyes. ❤️🇻🇪

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

Seeing my first humpback whale spout of the season always feels like being a 6-year-old on Christmas morning! All footage taken 5/29/26 within 1000ft of the coast between Montauk and Southampton, NY.
Yesterday was quite the day between Montauk and Southampton! I spotted my first humpback whale of the season, which comes in as my personal earliest sighting by 13 days in the past 8 years. I spotted over 25 small schools of striped bass, 11 bottlenose dolphins with one very tiny newborn calf, and to top it off some fun sand eel shenanigans (last clip). Also, I spotted 6 schools which appeared to be menhaden (too far under the surface to confirm) so they are not featured here.

With everything we are hearing right now about ticks this seems like good information to share.

“Here’s what I’ve learned after more ticks than I care to count.
First, whatever your uncle told you, forget it. No matches. No nail polish. No Vaseline. No soap on a cotton ball. All of those do the same terrible thing, they stress the tick out, and a stressed tick empties its gut back into the bite before letting go. Which, if you think about what that actually means for a second, is literally how Lyme and the rest get transmitted so you’re not speeding up its exit. You’re making it throw up into you.
Fine-tipped tweezers. Grip right where the mouthparts enter the skin, not the body, the head. Pull straight up, steady, no twisting, no jerking. It’ll feel like it’s resisting because it is, the mouthparts are barbed. Just keep the pressure on and it lets go in a few seconds. If a piece breaks off in the skin, leave it alone. Your body pushes splinters out. Digging around with a needle does more damage then the fragment ever would.
Clean it with alcohol or soap. Wash your hands.
Now here’s the part most people skip: don’t flush the tick.
Tape it to an index card. Clear packing tape right over the body, write the date and where on your body it was, and stick the card in a drawer. If you come down with anything weird in the next 30 days, rash, fever, joint pain, that flu-that-isn’t-flu feeling, that tick goes with you to the doctor. Some labs will test the tick itself, which is faster and often more reliable than waiting for antibodies to show up in your own blood. A dated tick taped to a card is one of the most useful things you can hand a doctor who’s trying to figure out what’s wrong with you.
The other thing worth saying out loud: if the tick was engorged when you pulled it, and you can’t swear it was off your body within 24 hours, call your doctor that same day. Don’t wait for a rash. Fewer than three out of four Lyme cases even produce the classic bullseye. A single preventive dose of doxycycline within 72 hours of a deer tick bite cuts the Lyme odds way down, and most docs in tick country will write that prescription without giving you a hard time, especially if you walk in with the tick taped to a card and a clear timeline.”
