Pet parents: tell me your pet's full, legal names. I'll go first

I'm terrible about remembering to post this stuff, but thank you to SPCA of NNY for a fun day at Pupkin Fest! Met lots of great dogs (and a cat!) and their people. Thank you Shannon Frappier-Farney and Gary Jones for sitting with me ♥️

One of the greatest influences of my life. I never got to see her speak in person but still learned so much. Fun fact: her favorite animal is not a chimpanzee, it's a dog!

A void has been left in our world. We'll never see the likes of her again.

With great sadness, the Jane Goodall Institute confirmed this morning the passing of the organization’s founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, age 91 who died peacefully in her sleep while in Los Angeles, CA for her speaking tour in the United States.

Dr. Goodall’s life and work not only made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, but also of humankind and the environments we all share. She inspired curiosity, hope and compassion in countless people around the world, and paved the way for many others — particularly young people who gave her hope for the future.

In 1960 Dr. Goodall established the longest running wild chimpanzee study in Gombe National Park, Tanzania which continues to this day. She pioneered and sustained the Jane Goodall Institute’s community-centered conservation initiatives across the chimpanzee range for over four decades. Her legacy includes the creation of JGI’s international environmental and humanitarian youth program Roots & Shoots, which is actively driving change in 75 countries and counting around the world.

The Jane Goodall Institute is incredibly grateful to all our supporters, partners, and friends, especially during this difficult time. To add a personal remembrance of Dr. Goodall and continue her legacy for future generations, please visit JaneGoodall.org/RememberingJane

Check out Bean, Gator, and their parent's HW video. Killing it! Can you spot what they are working on and why? (hint: cat integration/relationship/conflict is too general, I'm looking for more specific!)

Do I know anyone patient and interested in adopting a terrified 2.5 yo female Chiweenie? Mom is rehoming bc lifestyle and housing are not conducive to this little lady's QOL. She's afraid of the world.

PM if interested, for more history.

Please be kind to your vet. You have no idea what they deal with on a daily basis and, no, they aren't in it for the money. If they wanted easy money, they chose the wrong career.

The Analy Vet family is heartbroken to share the news that our beloved Dr. Wayne Tran has passed away. To say that we are devastated by his loss does not fully express how we feel. More than just a fantastic doctor who cared deeply for his patients and their owners, Wayne was a kind, empathetic, and gentle person who brought warmth and humor to those who knew him. He is greatly missed every day.

We are thinking of his family and loved ones during this painful time. Thank you for keeping all who knew him in your thoughts as we all navigate this profound loss.
His family has provided two links for donations if anyone is inclined to do so. Both are for animal rescue, a cause dear to Wayne's heart.

Lastly, we provided a link for Not One More Vet, an organization founded to help provide mental health support to the veterinary community. https://nomv.org/

Completely unrelated to this item, I'll be raising my rates by 1000% bc cost of living.

Thanks in advance

Kawasaki has introduced CORLEO, a rideable quadruped robot that walks like an animal and runs on hydrogen, with no wheels, no tracks, and zero emissions. Designed to tackle rugged terrain, CORLEO mimics the gait of four-legged creatures, stepping over obstacles and navigating rough ground with ease. Powered by a 150cc hydrogen engine, it generates electricity to move its articulated limbs and leaves behind nothing but water v***r, a futuristic stride toward sustainable mobility.

This robot mount isn’t just for show: it features rubber hooves for grip, a motorcycle-style seat, and a heads-up display that helps the rider monitor hydrogen levels and balance. Riders steer CORLEO with body shifts and posture, while AI systems stabilize movement in real time.

Still a prototype, CORLEO points to a future where clean energy and robotics converge, offering a glimpse of what off-road exploration could look like in a post-carbon world.

If you could have 30mins with one passed pet, who would it be and what would you do?
