ECLIPSE: IT WILL NOT GET DARK HERE
I’m hearing of events being canceled Monday afternoon and people being worried about letting their dogs out due to the “darkness.” But, outside of the path of totality, it won’t get dark during the solar eclipse, just a bit dull, like during an overcast day. There will be limited, if any temperature/wind changes and no behavioral changes in animals. At its peak in our location, 3:23p.m., 90% of the sun will be covered, and it will look like the attached photo. Life can go on as normal. But, if you want to stare into the sun, remember to protect your eyes with ISO certified eclipse glasses, or that image can be burned into your retina for years.(By the way, you can let your dogs out, they won’t notice a thing. )

Has a coyote ever “followed” you or your dog while you’re walking in your neighborhood or in the park? If so, you may have felt afraid, perhaps thought the coyote was stalking you, or that an attack was imminent. But don’t fear. Coyotes are naturally curious animals, and often engage in this behavior called “escorting”. Escorting is when a coyote, sometimes with its mate, makes sure that you are leaving its territory. This behavior is most often seen from early March to late April, when coyote parents are protecting their precious puppies. Escorting most often happens in early morning or in the evening, and because they may see dogs as a threat to their babies, it’s most often seen by dog walkers.

What do you do if you’re “escorted” by a coyote? Don’t panic; the coyote is much more terrified of you! If you don’t have your dog leashed - which you should in coyote country- immediately leash it and keep it by your side. Calmly keep walking, slowly, as normally. Soon enough, you’ll be out of the coyote’s home and he will stop escorting you! On the off chance the escorting coyote starts to approach too closely, shout and wave your hands to frighten it away. As we humans develop more and more woodlands, coyote coexistence has become even more essential; we simply must learn to speak their language.

Maui Humane Society's website was working this morning, I was able to donate: https://www.mauihumanesociety.org/donate-olx/

This orange boy is being cared for by the Maui Humane Society. They are calling him Alani which means orange in Hawaiian. Please send prayers and Reiki for Alani and all the others like him.

I donated this morning to The Maui Humane Society website https://www.mauihumanesociety.org/donate-olx/

This cat came into Maui Humane Society's care on August 11th. He was found on Shaw Street near the Lahaina Aquatic Center. We can see that he made his best efforts escaping the fires. His entire coat scorched from the flames and covered with the smell of thick smoke. All of his paw pads burned, his mouth swollen and painful. He was dehydrated and lifeless. He had no microchip or other signs of ownership. That's all the information we had on this sweet boy. For now, we are calling him Alani, it means the color orange in Hawaiian. Once he is able to receive a bath we will be able to see that beautiful orange coat he has.

Alani is one of the victims of the tragic fires who has stepped foot into Maui Humane Society, we anticipate to receive more and more each day. An estimated 3,000 animals are believed to be displaced. Many of them most likely needing intense medical care, like Alani.

Alani has been with us for 4 days now, he is getting daily foot soaks to treat his paws, he's getting medications to help with the pain and burns, he's eating like a champ and he purrs with very gentle pets. All signs that he is feeling better. This will not be a quick and easy recovery for Alani. As Maui Humane Society gets more access into Lahaina, we can expect to find more animals in Alani's condition, many even worse.

If Alani's owners are out there, we want them to know that he is safe and recovering. We are doing the best we can to help him heal and make him comfortable. Maui Humane Society is dedicated to reunifying pets with their owners.

Your monetary donations are helping save Alani's life, the other animals from Lahaina in our care and the many more we anticipate to receive. Please continue to donate so we can continue to treat our survivors and get them back to their Ohanas, where they belong.
