"It is easy to see national parks as static and unchanging. But the world is always moving, and slower, gradual changes often go unnoticed. Over time these changes may become accepted as the status quo, the way things have always been. This phenomenon is called shifting baseline syndrome (Soga and Gaston, 2018).

Shifting baseline describes a gradual change in our accepted norms and expectations for the environment across generations. Our tolerance for environmental degradation increases and our expectations for the natural world are lowered. For example, bison are absent from 98% of their historic range. Yet the functional extinction of bison is often viewed as a conservation success story. Five billion passenger pigeons once darkened skies in eastern North America. It’s impossible for anyone living today to grasp the spectacle and ecological impact of those now extinct flocks. While these examples may seem cliché, distant and even overly dramatic, they show how shifting baselines affect our perception and acceptance of the state of the natural world. In truth similar changes are occurring all around us."

"Revolution is about the need to re-evolve political, economic and social justice and power back into the hands of the people, preferably through legislation and policies that make human sense. That's what revolution is about. Revolution is not about shootouts."

Depression, anxiety, multiple illnesses and a crazy work schedule resulted in me not getting to Chuy's hooves promptly. However we did it today. Not perfect and a couple more trims to correct, but so much better 💕

S**t happens guys, I guess all that matters is you get back up and keep going.

Ten, twenty, forty, one hundred and fifty years ago they have been saying all of these things were going to happen... Inevitable ruptures of systems of exploitation. Stripped to it's skeleton it has but its own bone marrow left to suck dry....

Find someone who loves you even when you're crusty dusty, hanging on for dear life, and don't have much to offer other than your heart and soul.

Outcome and owner assessment after single-session bilateral tibial plateau leveling osteotomy in 127 dogs
Hilario González Montaño 1,✉, Andy P Moores 1, James Grierson 1

Abstract
Objective
To retrospectively evaluate complication rates following bilateral tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) as well as owner assessment of outcomes and post-operative management.

Methods
Medical records of dogs presenting with bilateral cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) disease that underwent single-session bilateral TPLO from 2015 to 2019 in 1 referral practice were retrospectively reviewed. A non-validated questionnaire was sent to the owners to assess their ability to cope during the rehabilitation period, as well as procedure outcome.

Results
In total, 127 dogs were included for analysis. The overall complication rate was 16.5% (minor complication rate 9.4% and major complication rate 10.2%). Of the 50 owners that answered the questionnaire, 31 (62%) did not need to use sling support at home at any time and 10 (20%) used sling support for < 1 wk. Furthermore, only 1 owner indicated that they would not choose to do a bilateral TPLO surgery again.

Clinical significance
Bilateral single-session TPLO surgery performed by an experienced surgeon had a similar outcome and complication rate to that of unilateral TPLO surgery. Most owners reported that postoperative care of their dog was not difficult.
