We said goodbye to Frosty yesterday. She was a White Shepherd ~14 years old that we adopted when she was ~8 years old. She had a lot of random issues through her life, multiple sarcomas that she always made it through with more ease than expected.

It was super hard to say goodbye even though it was the right thing to do. The vet thinks she may have had a tumor developing in her head due to a sudden progression of a lot of issues with coordination at the end. My moment of realization was her back leg suddenly sliding forward, leading to either a spin sit or just a full on laydown.

She crossed the bridge in our yard with us at her side and is now buried in a wild flower garden. I miss her so much, and even finishing this up the grief wells up. I'm just happy she's no longer confused or in pain anymore.

This is wild stuff, very funny, I absolutely recommend!

1 hour to just find the darn place 😁, 3-4 hours painting (my back!) and home under a burning sun.

Will try again.

A Tengmalm's (Boreal) owl with a little bloody bib. Let's just say it looks a bit less harmless like that, haha! When the young are still very small, the female tears apart their prey before feeding them, which explains all the blood on her face. It just goes to show that even the cutest owls can still be formidable predators. (Google Translate)

Immigrants’ rights advocates say about 30 women held at Delaney Hall joined ongoing hunger and labor strikes at the Newark detention center on Wednesday, adding gender-specific demands that included the firing of a female guard they accuse of sexually assaulting 10 female detainees.

Advocates from groups belonging to the ICE Out of New Jersey coalition told reporters outside Delaney Hall on Thursday that the women were essentially picking up the slack for an initial group of about 300 mostly male detainees who launched the strikes last month, before most of them were transferred out of Delaney Hall in recent days.

“We know that the strike started on May 22, and some of the women were already participating in that, just to be clear, but it’s just that more women in the unit have now entered the strike,” said Cat Adorno, a volunteer with Cosecha, a coalition member group.

“Some of these demands, which can also be found on our website, include everything from improving conditions in the center, such as fixing the bathrooms, such as making sure there’s drinkable water, to also just demanding the freedom of all the women inside, starting with women under the age of 21, all the mothers, right, and all the women with medical conditions."

One of those women, Adorno said, is “paralyzed and using a wheelchair.”
