This is an interesting concept and if it works and helps keep our pets safe, that's all that matters. Anyone using a dog tracker, share your thoughts.

Dog tracking devices are devices that can be placed on a dogs collar or harness to collect positional data and transmit it.

Blueberries, the longevity snack!

The holy grail of longevity foods, protecting your dog like a suit of armour.🫐

Blueberries are an awesome source of prebiotic fiber and are chock-full of polyphenols. Studies have found that blueberries delay the aging process by promoting the repair of DNA strands.🧬 Diets supplemented with this blue antioxidant powerhouse can potentially sustain the body’s antioxidant levels and protect against oxidative damage💥, making them one of our top recommendations you can share from your refrigerator!

We use a lot of frozen blueberries as training treats, when fresh blueberries aren’t in season. But be forewarned: more than one blueberry for every two pounds of body weight a day (i.e., five blueberries for a ten-pound dog) can lead to completely benign dark blue p**p, so feed a few, then move on to other Longevity Foods, found in The Forever Dog LIFE, as healthy rewards.

The original Finn McCool.

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗻 𝗠𝗰𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹 – 𝗔 𝗚𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗸𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Finn McCool, also known as Fionn mac Cumhaill, is a renowned character from Irish mythology, celebrated for his wisdom and martial prowess. His mythic narratives were passed down originally through oral tradition and eventually compiled in the Fenian Cycle of Irish literature, a collection of prose and poetry centred around Finn and his warrior band, the Fianna. This article delves into the life and deeds of Finn McCool, establishing his enduring cultural significance and influence on Irish identity.

https://brehonacademy.org/heroic-biography-finn-mccool-a-giant-of-irish-folklore-and-tradition/

Finn McCool was born to Cumhaill, leader of the Fianna, and Muirne, daughter of the druid Tadg mac Nuadat. His birth was enveloped in prophecy and tumult, setting the stage for his extraordinary life. After his father’s death at the hands of Goll mac Morna, Finn was secreted away to be raised in the wilderness, away from the prying eyes of his father’s enemies. This upbringing in nature forged his indomitable character, making him a skilled hunter, warrior, and poet.

In many adaptations of the Finn McCool legend, Finn is portrayed not merely as a man of considerable strength and wisdom, but as a literal giant. This characterization serves to amplify his larger-than-life qualities, making him an even more formidable figure within the mythos. The image of Finn as a giant is not merely symbolic, but also deeply woven into the physical landscape of Ireland and beyond.
