[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

There’s an absolutely absurd stereotype in this world, saying that old dogs are “just not worth the time.” Due to this belief, many owners decide to euthanize their senior pets instead of taking care of them, even though the pets don’t necessarily cope with some condition.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

When animals are rescued from laboratory testing, their journey to healing can be long and challenging. For one Beagle named Dora, the road to recovery began with a simple yet momentous first walk outside. Dora was rescued by Chicago-based animal rescue group, One Tail At A Time (OTAT), after enduring life as a laboratory dog. A TikTok video shared by the shelter last October captured Dora’s hesitant first steps in the outside world, and the internet found it both heartbreaking and heartwarming.

Clearly, elephants do not appreciate surprise encounters involving other large animals. But do they have to be so dramatic?
The accompanying footage, shared Wednesday by South Africa’s MalaMala Game Reserve, shows an elephant reacting loudly and frightfully after coming face to face with a rhinoceros.
“An elephant being a bit of a drama queen,” MalaMala joked via X.

On Instagram, MalaMala pointed out that the bluff-charging rhino is brave despite missing a weapon with which it was born.
“No horn, no problem,” reads the description. (Rhino horns, which are sought by poachers, are sometimes removed in the wild to keep the animals safe.)
The footage was captured by David den Hartog, a ranger who might be among those heard chuckling while witnessing the amusing scene.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

A historic marker could be erected to honor the victims of the racist mass shooting at the Dollar General store in Jacksonville’s New Town neighborhood nearly a year ago. If approved by the Jacksonville City Council, a marker would be installed at Kings Road and Canal Street on Aug. 25, a day before the first anniversary of the shooting, when a white gunman took the lives of three Black people.

Today, we have a guest post from One Health epidemiologist extraordinaire (and great collaborator) Dr. Katie Clow and extraordinaire-in-training Sydney DeWinter. If you have been following the ongoing saga regarding canine importation regulations put forth by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), dog movement is likely top of mind and you may be curious as to why regulations are needed in the first place. One of the biggest reasons is to prevent (or at least reduce the chances of) new infectious diseases entering a country. While we won’t spend time discussing all the diseases that sick (and seemingly healthy) dogs can bring on the plane with them, there is one disease on which we are regularly consulted and requires some additional considerations, and that’s canine leishmaniosis.

Canine Leishmaniosis and Canine Importation

One of the great things about dogs is their pack mentality and the ability to adapt to change by forming groups where they work together toward something. In the case of stray dogs, this can work great in their favor when it comes to scavenging and finding food from other people.
