Well we made it to Pet Friday! Today due to the hurricane hitting the East Coast I am going to provide some ideas how to evacuate with your fur babies. The following is from a local news station but has good advice for all fur babies parents.
"If you’re a pet parent, you already understand the joy and fun they add to your life. You’re also familiar with the added responsibility that having a pet requires.
If you live in an area where hurricanes pose a threat, planning can save you a lot of stress and time when a storm is moving toward your area.
Here’s some advice to help you plan for a hurricane with your pets in mind.
Identification is crucial for your animals
Make sure you have a way for your pet to be identified if you two get separated during a hurricane.
One way is to get ID tags made for your animal whether it be a dog, cat or any other pet. These tags then attach to your animal’s collar. Just about any pet shop has a machine where you can make these yourself. The tag should include your pet’s name, plus your name, address, and phone number.
Another, more high-tech way to identify your pet is using a microchip. Basically, this is a tiny electronic tag that is inserted under your pet's skin. It will usually include your pet's name, plus your name, address, and phone number. In the event of separation, the chip can be scanned by a veterinarian or at an animal shelter. This might be the more preferred method during a disaster since collars can be removed. Your veterinarian or local animal shelter can provide you with more information about microchips.
Also, all those adorable photos you’re snapping with your pet can help identify them in the event of separation. It’s a good idea to take a couple of pics of your pet a day or two before the storm so that photo you are using is current.
Keep up with pet vaccinations
According to PetMD.com, your pet will be exposed to more harmful bacteria, viruses and wild animals in the event of a disaster. The best way to protect your furry friend from all of that is to keep them current on their vaccinations.
"Rabies, distemper and leptospirosis are some of the most concerning viruses in these situations," PetMD.com wrote on 2020.
Your veterinarian can help you develop a vaccination plan for your pet.
Build a hurricane emergency kit
Just like people need to have an emergency kit assembled, you’ll want to have an emergency kit for your pet.
Here’s what your pet’s kit should include, according to the Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine:
A week’s worth of food and water supply.
Pet medications.
Copies of vaccination and medical records.
Pet health insurance information, if you have a policy.
Photos of you and your pet together.
It is also recommended you pack an extra leash, collar and a pet first aid kit.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency also suggests you pack other resources such as toys, sanitation supplies (e.g. poop bags, puppy pads, cat litter and a box) and a pet bed.
Prepare to evacuate during a hurricane
If you must evacuate during a hurricane, bring your pets with you. However, that may not be as easy as it sounds.
According to the FDA, shelters are required to accept service animals as long as the animal meets the requirements outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act. Most shelters and facilities do not accept non-service animals.
"Contact your local emergency management agency for information about which emergency shelters allow pets," the FDA advises. "Try to call the shelter before you go, as some pet-friendly shelters may require advance notice. Your local humane society or veterinary hospital may also have information about where you can take your pets during an evacuation."
There are some hotels and motels that allow pets such as cats and dogs. They will likely fill up fast in the event of an evacuation, so tracking one down now is a good first step. There are lots of websites that can help you locate a pet-friendly lodger. The FDA recommends these:
OfficialPetHotels.com
PetsWelcome.com
PetFriendlyTravel.com
Pet-Friendly-Hotels.net
For even more advice, check out the American Veterinary Medical Association’s disaster guide for pet owners. "
So prepare if you are in the hurricane strike zone for yourself, and your family that includes you fur babies. Be safe if you are impacted by the hurricane that is hitting the East coast today. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family including your fur babies.

I have lost a lot of faith with the Medical Community and the Governments over the last several years, but there are a few good things that can raise above the corruption and the pushing of drugs a new approach to heal people. The following is from www.gaia.com and written by Hunter Parsons that does not involve any drug or pushing an ineffective so called vaccine that the drug company is not held accountable in any way but they use sound! The use of sound can regrow bone tissue! Here is the story:
"The future of regenerative medicine could be found within sound healing by regrowing bone cells with sound waves.
The use of sound as a healing modality has an ancient tradition all over the world. The ancient Greeks used sound to cure mental disorders; Australian Aborigines reportedly use the didgeridoo to heal; and Tibetan or Himalayan singing bowls were, and still are, used for spiritual healing ceremonies.
Recently, a study showed an hour-long sound bowl meditation reduced anger, fatigue, anxiety, and ...
Not a fan of a Defense Agency studying Anti-Gravity and other Exotic Tech, but if the commercial world and make this technology cheap that will change our world yet again. The following is about three minute read and from www.gaia.com. The below was written by Hunter Parsons:
"Wormholes, invisibility cloaks, and anti-gravity — it’s not science fiction, it’s just some of the exotic things the U.S. government has been researching.
A massive document dump by the Defense Intelligence Agency shows some of the wild research projects the United States government was, at least, funding through the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program known as AATIP.
And another lesser-known entity called the Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Application Program or AAWSAP
The Defense Intelligence Agency has recently released a large number of documents to different news outlets and individuals who have filed Freedom of Information Act requests.
Of particular interest are some 1,600 pages released to Vice News, which ...
As our technology gets better we are discovering more about the history of mankind and pushing the timeline back further and further. The following article is from www.gaia.com and written by Michael Chary that discusses this new find that changes the historical timeline:
"Over the past decade, there have been a number of archeological revelations pushing back the timeline of human evolution and our ancient ancestors’ various diasporas. Initially, these discoveries elicit some resistance as archeologists bemoan the daunting prospect of rewriting the history books, though once enough evidence is presented to established institutions, a new chronology becomes accepted.
But this really only pertains to the era of human development that predates civilization — the epochs of our past in which we were merely hunter-gatherers and nomads roaming the savannahs. Try challenging the consensus timeline of human civilization and it’s likely you’ll be met with derision and rigidity.
Conversely, someone of an alternative...
Not sure if you have heard of a show on YouTube called "The Why Files". If not you should check it out it is interesting and has some humor with it on different subjects. Last weeks was on a different theory how the Universe works and how main stream Science is attempting to shut it down like is always seems to do if it goes aguest some special interest. Today it is akin to what happened to those who questioned the Earth was the Center of the Universe that main stream so called Science all believed during the Renaissance period, They called any theory that the Earth was not the Center of the Universe misinformation. Does this sound familiar today? People laughed and mocked people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nicolaus Copernicus, Georg Purbach as crack-pots, conspiracy theorists, nut-jobs and they were suppressed and even imprisoned for their radical thoughts and observations. Again it sounds like today in so many ways. In any event this is a good one to ponder and see even if a bad idea ...
Seemingly chaotic systems like the weather and the financial markets are governed by the laws of chaos theory.
We all have heard about chaos theory, but if you have not or have forgotten what chaos theory is well here you go from interestingengineering.com:
"Chaos theory deals with dynamic systems, which are highly sensitive to initial conditions, making it almost impossible to track the resulting unpredictable behavior. Chaos theory seeks to find patterns in systems that appear random, such as weather, fluid turbulence, and the stock market.
Since the smallest of changes can lead to vastly different outcomes, the long-term behavior of chaotic systems is difficult to predict despite their inherently deterministic nature.
As Edward Lorenz, who first proposed what became commonly known as the Butterfly Effect, eloquently said, "Chaos: When the present determines the future, but the approximate present does not approximately determine the future.""
You may have heard the term about chaos theory as a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil,...
I for one have lost trust in Medical Doctors due to COVID and reflection that they seem to push pills for everything and untested so called vaccines that is using a unproven technology because the Government and the Medical Boards of the State told them to. There are a very few exceptions. Thus they do not address the key problem just prescribe more and more pills to keep you alive an sick longer for them and Big Phama to profit from you. Will AI do any better? Well that depends on what was used for the training of AI. If it also pushes pills and vaccines without question then you have the same problems noted above. However, if the AI Training includes all possible forms of treatment and they zero in on the right issues for the true problem then there is possibilities they would be way better than most of the current Medical Doctors today.
The following is from an article from interestingengineering.com and written by Paul Ratner:
"A new study looks at how accurately AI can diagnose patients. We interview the researcher, who weighs in on AI's role ...
