The Cecil County Health Department has received confirmation that a feral cat near the Best Western hotel in North East (39 Elwoods Road, North East, MD 21901) has tested positive for rabies. The cat was picked up by Cecil County Animal Services on Saturday, August 10th, 2024 on the Best Western’s premises following reports of the animal becoming aggressive. The cat was described as a small to medium sized, brown and white, female tabby.

Although this cat was found at the Best Western hotel, it may have exposed other people and pets in the surrounding area. If you or your pets have had contact with a stray or feral cat (kittens included) at the Best Western hotel or in the surrounding area between July 29, 2024 and August 13, 2024, please contact the Cecil County Health Department at 410-996-5100 immediately for follow up.

Rabies is spread by the bite or scratch of an infected animal, such as a groundhog, cat, fox, raccoon, skunk or bat. It is also spread when an infected animal’s saliva comes in contact with the eyes, nose, mouth or open cut of a person or another animal. Preventive treatment may be required for anyone who handled, fed or was attacked by the infected animal. Rabies is a fatal disease, and preventive treatment must be started as soon as possible.

Incidents such as this reinforce that rabies is present in Cecil County and that stray animals can be dangerous. Cats pose a more significant risk of contracting rabies than dogs because they cover large areas when hunting and are more likely to have an encounter with a rabid wild animal that goes unnoticed. The Cecil County Health Department advises county residents to take the following precautions to prevent the spread of rabies:
● All cats, dogs and ferrets should have current rabies immunizations.
● Do not allow your pets to run free.
● Cover all trash cans and do not leave pet food outside.
● Avoid contact with all wildlife, especially feral cats, raccoons, bats, and foxes.
● If bitten or scratched by a suspected rabid animal, wash the wound immediately with soap and water, and seek medical attention.

New blog post is up! Check out the🔗 in the comment section.

"Creating appropriate learning environments truly isn’t more effort, but requires taking a step back from prioritising profit over education. By creating these environments for our canine companions that are geared towards errorless learning using science based, force free, positive reinforcement methods we’re also extending kindness to ourselves and others in our community by putting into practice the fact that progress isn’t linear."

Carrying over some of this post on sniff walks from my personal page, I also expand on the topic quite a bit more. Link in the comments!

"One of my favourite ways to exercise my pup completely (body AND mind) is going on a “sniff walk.” A sniff walk typically looks like this;
- Walking on a long leash, without rush, and allowing the dog to sniff at their leisure. You may decide to also allow your pup to choose which direction you go in at every turn. Considering the relative freedom this allows you’ll want to be aware of your surroundings (cars, other people, bikes, other dogs, etc) for your safety - for best practices I usually try to keep this activity away from busy main roads!"

"Approximately ten minutes of engaging in a nose work activity is the sniffing equivalent of a 30 minute walk - with the added benefits of avoiding unintentionally conditioning your dog to walk a marathon. This is typically the result a lot of owners end up with when relying on traditional walks to tire out their pup. One mile consistently becomes two, then three, and so on! But the moment we remember that they have mental needs that need to be met is the moment we help our dogs live a more enriched life, and in turn our own."

Quando capiremo questa realtà?

Sono un cane del 21° secolo.

-Sono un Malinois.
Sovradotato tra i cani, brillo in tutte le discipline e sono sempre pronto a lavorare.
Oggi mi chiedono di rilassarmi sul divano tutto il giorno tutti i giorni.

-Sono un Akita Inu.
I miei antenati sono stati selezionati per la lotta tra cani.
Oggi mi chiedono di essere tollerante e mi si rimprovera la mia reattività quando uno di loro si avvicina a me.

-Sono un Beagle.
Quando inseguivo la mia preda, davo voce, così i cacciatori potevano seguirmi.
Oggi mi si mette un collare elettrico per stare zitto, e vorremmo che tornassi al richiamo con uno schiocco di dita.

-Sono uno Yorkshire Terrier.
Ero un terrificante cacciatore di ratti nelle miniere inglesi.
Oggi si pensa che non sia in grado di usare le mie zampe e mi tengono sempre tra le braccia.

-Sono un Labrador Retriever.
La mia visione della felicità è un tuffo in uno stagno per riportare al mio padrone l'anatra a cui ha sparato.
Oggi ci siamo dimenticati che sono un cane da movimento e grandi corse, sono grasso e devo fare la tata dei bambini.

-Sono un Jack Russel.
Sono in grado di affrontare una volpe un tasso e un ratto più grande di me nella sua tana.
Oggi mi rimproverano per il mio maledetto carattere e vorrebbero trasformarmi in un cane da salotto.

-Sono un Husky Siberiano.
Ho conosciuto i grandi spazi della Russia settentrionale, dove potevo trainare slitte a velocità impressionante.
Oggi ho come solo orizzonte solo le pareti del giardino, e per sola occupazione i buchi che scavo nel terreno.

-Sono un Border Collie.
Sono fatto per lavorare otto ore al giorno, e sono un artista inconfondibile del lavoro con il gregge.
Oggi sono arrabbiati con me perché, per mancanza di pecore, cerco di controllare biciclette, auto, bambini di casa e tutto ciò che è in movimento.

Io sono...
Sono un cane del 21° secolo.
Sono bello, sono allerta, sono ubbidiente, sto in una borsa...
ma sono anche un individuo che ha bisogno di esprimere i propri istinti, e non sono adatto alla vita sedentaria che vorresti farmi condurre.
Passare otto ore al giorno da solo in giardino, vederti un po' la sera quando torni a casa e avere diritto solo a una piccola passeggiata igienica mi renderà profondamente infelice.
Lo esprimerò abbaiando durante tutto il giorno, trasformando il tuo giardino in un campo minato, facendo i miei bisogni dentro casa, essendo ingestibile le rare volte che mi ritroverò fuori e, a volte, passando le mie giornate affondato sul mio cuscino.
Penserai allora che sono felice di poter godere di tutta questa comodità mentre vai a lavorare: in realtà sarò in esaurimento, perché questo male non è appannaggio dell'umano ma anche del cane del 21° secolo.
Se ti piaccio, se mi sogni da sempre, se i miei bellissimi occhi azzurri o il mio look da atleta mi fanno desiderare, ma non puoi regalarmi una vera vita da cani, una vita che vale davvero la pena di essere vissuta, e se non puoi offrirmi il lavoro che i miei geni chiedono, allora rinuncia a me.
Se ti piace il mio aspetto ma non sei disposto ad accettare i miei tratti di carattere derivati da una rigorosa selezione genetica e pensi di poterli cambiare con la tua unica buona volontà, allora rinuncia a me.
Sono un cane del 21° secolo, sì,ma in fondo a me, dorme ancora colui che combatteva, colui che cacciava, colui che tirava slitte, colui che guidava un gregge.
E prima o poi, nel bene o nel male, si sveglierà.
E allora cosa farai?
Mi cederai?
Mi abbandonerai?
O mi sopprimerai?

🌸 Toxic flower PSA! 🌸 Please spread the word—and keep your cats safe this Valentine’s Day!

TOXIC TO CATS:
🚫 Lilies
🚫 Daffodils
🚫 Tulips
🚫 Hydrangeas
🚫 Chrysanthemums

SAFE FOR CATS:
💚 Roses
💚 Ge**er Daisies
💚 Snapdragons
💚 Orchids
💚 Sunflowers

If you have feline friends, you should know that many common flowers are not safe to have in your home. Unfortunately, MOST floral arrangements contain something unsafe for cats, even if it’s the greenery chosen, like eucalyptus.

I find it pretty disturbing that there isn’t a warning label on flowers like lilies, which are so toxic that even brushing against their pollen can be fatal for your cat. These flowers are routinely added to arrangements—even though more than 25% of US households have a cat. So many cats and kittens end up hospitalized because of the well-intentioned gesture of buying flowers, It is no joke!

If you’re planning to buy flowers for someone this Valentine’s Day, and they have a cat at home, DO NOT risk buying something toxic. Two good options are:

Talk on the phone with a local florist and make sure they understand you want 100% cat-safe flowers. Some florists may not know which are cat-safe, so consult the list of plants non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA before you call so you can make some specific requests or suggestions. Specify that this includes the greenery.
