Dogs in Heaven

Pets, it turns out, also have last wishes before they die, but only known by veterinarians who put old and sick animals to sleep. 

Twitter user Jesse Dietrich asked a vet what the most difficult part of his job was. The specialist answered without hesitation that it was the hardest for him to see how old or sick animals look for their owners with the eyes of their owners before going to sleep.

The fact is that 90 % of owners don’t want to be in a room with a dying animal. People leave so they don’t see their pet leave. But they don’t realize that it’s in these last moments of life that their pet really needs them. And Hillcrest Veterinary Clinic in South Africa has posted on their Facebook page for all people with pets. 

Veterinarians ask the owners to be close to the animals until the very end. ′′It’s inevitable that they die before you. Don’t forget that you were the center of their life. Maybe they were just a part of you. But they are also your family. No matter how hard it is, don’t leave them. Don’t let them die in a room with a stranger in a place they don’t like. 

Vets consider it very painful to watch this. On how pets cannot find their owner in the last minutes of their life. They don’t understand why he left them. After all, they needed his consolation. 

Veterinarians do everything possible to ensure that animals are not so scared. But they are completely strangers to them. 

Don’t be a coward who thinks it’s too painful for you. Think about the pet. Endure this pain for the sake of your pets. Be with them until the very end”.

A hut on chicken‘s legs? See our new Halloween…

Dear RJ,

Perhaps one of the strangest characters in Slavic folklore – or indeed anywhere – is the witch Baba Yaga, who apparently lived in a hut built on chicken’s legs. A drawing by the artist Viktor Hartmann of a clock modelled on Baba Yaga’s hut was the inspiration for the ninth movement of Mussorgsky’s famous piano composition, Pictures at an Exhibition.

So for our new Halloween card, we took Mussorgsky’s music and imagined Baba Yaga herself as the pianist, giving a pair of curious kittens a scary adventure!Baba YagaHalloween HouseEerie Emporium

Halloween lends itself perfectly to ecards – you can’t really do scary effects on a paper card, with no animation or music! Here are some other favourites for the spooky season.Duet for Two CatsMischief in the MistSpooky Silhouettes

John 14:6

John 14:6

(6) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. 
New King James Version   Change your email Bible version

Not only does Jesus characterize Himself as truth in John 14:6, but He also adds in John 17:17 that “[God’s] word is truth.” In I Corinthians 15:45, 47, Paul refers to Jesus as “the last Adam” or “the second Man,” the beginning of a new order, of an entire race or family of beings just like Him, just as all of mankind is in the image of our first forefather, the first Adam.

Many can say, “I have told you the truth.” However, Jesus did not just tell the truth, He embodied it. He put truth into a visible, concrete form so all who so desire can see it. What credibility that gives! A teacher can present a mathematical, grammatical, scientific, or historical truth, and what kind of a person he is does not matter much. However, if a person teaches or administers moral truth, his example—what he is in his character—is all-important. Do people want to be lectured on purity by an adulterer or on honesty by a liar and thief (Romans 2:21-24)?

“Truth” in John 17:17 is the Greek word aletheia, which means “reality, the manifested, unconcealed essence of a matter.” Truth is the reality lying at the foundation of a righteous example. It is pure unadulterated reality.

Contrast this with what Jesus says of Satan to the Jews in John 8:44:

You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Satan is Christ’s diametrical opposite, one hundred percent unmodified deceit. God’s entire plan is based on the premise that the converted know that God is true. If He is not true to His Word or to His own way of life, how can He be trusted? We must live by faith in this true Being and in what He says! Truth forms the basis, the foundation, the reality, for a person’s conversion.

Consider this: There is a personal, living, almighty God whose ways and laws are intrinsically right—they are true. Therefore, a person who has God’s Spirit and is honest, who is willing to speak the truth and acknowledge it when it is shown to him, and who will use it in everyday, practical situations must eventually become like the One he models himself after.

God is making us kings and priests, that is, leaders and teachers of a way of life based on revealed truth. He will not have anyone in His Family who does not embody truth as Jesus did. In other words, we, too, will be truth personified. However, for this to occur we must live it to the best of our abilities now.

— John W. Ritenbaugh

MLB Morning Lineup

View in browser 

Game 3 of the World Series was one of those games, I suspect, that will forever be talked about by diehard fans as a low-key classic World Series game, despite the fact that it wasn’t a deciding game, it didn’t have a walk-off hit, and there weren’t very many runs.

That said, Atlanta’s 2-0 win to take a 2-1 Series lead over Houston had a little bit of everything: Terrific defense from each team, some incredible individual pitching performances (including the Braves carrying a no-hitter into the eighth inning), and so many of those tough managerial decisions that fans delight in debating. Did Atlanta manager Brian Snitker pull Ian Anderson — who hadn’t allowed a hit through five — too early? Did Dusty Baker do the same with Luis Garcia? What about the constant bullpen levers they had to keep pulling? It reminded you why this game is so riveting, so maddening, and so endlessly compelling.

And we haven’t even gotten to the hard part yet.

After all, this was just the first of a brutal three-games-in-three-days stretch for two teams that both already are, uh, just about to run out of pitching. The Braves came into this Series knowing they were going to have to do a bullpen game in Game 4, but the injury to Charlie Morton in Game 1 assures they’re going to have to do one in Game 5 as well. The Astros are starting Zack Greinke in Game 4, a pitcher who might be in the Hall of Fame someday but right now is a guy who hasn’t faced more than nine batters in a game since Sept. 19. (And their Game 5 starter, Framber Valdez, gave up five runs in Game 1.) Oh, and both teams used a combined 11 pitchers in Game 5, all of whom had every single pitch they threw be classified as “high-stress.” And they have to do this twice!

Friday night’s Game 3 felt like a masterclass in managing, pitching and defense, a World Series game played and mapped out at the highest level. So let’s now do it again. And again.

Astros: The Astros, who are hitting .198 through three games of the World Series, have only one hitter you would consider hot. That’s Michael Brantley, who’s 5-for-13. Kyle Tucker and Yuli Gurriel are both 3-for-11. Then there’s the abundance of cold bats: Jose Altuve is 2-for-13, Alex Bregman is 1-for-9, Yordan Alvarez is 1-for-8 and Carlos Correa is 1-for-10.

Good morning RJ, 

Eloy Junior High School will move to online learning until mid-November after a handful of students and staff members tested positive for COVID-19. The school said that, unless notified otherwise, students and staff will be eligible to return to campus in two weeks.

A proposed shooting range, to be located between San Tan Valley and Florence, for the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office raised concerns among some area residents at a county meeting this week. The range is planned on county-owned land south of Arizona Farms Road and west of State Route 79. 

Here’s what else is happening today: 

– Heading to the valley this weekend? Plan your route carefully… The Arizona Department of Transportation is advising area drivers to prepare for closures and lane restrictions along Interstate 10, Loop 101 and Loop 202 for scheduled improvement projects this weekend. Closures will include parts of Eastbound Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) between Gilbert Road and Val Vista Drive beginning 10 p.m. this evening through Monday.  

– This town is considered one of Arizona’s most haunted towns, where ghosts are believed to lurk on almost every corner. Larry Widen’s Ghost City Tours combine the history of the Wild West in Tombstone with the stories of souls with unfinished business in the human world and, ever since the pandemic, he’s seen an uptick in business. Want to know more about Halloween events and activities happening this weekend? Check out the PinalCentral A&E Blast at 3 p.m. 

– For Subscribers: “The whole farm-to-table movement is something that people embrace right now. And the reason they embrace it is because a lot of them want to know where their food comes from.” That’s what Perry Rea, owner of the Queen Creek Olive Mill, had to say when we sat down to discuss the importance of farm-to-table businesses in Pinal. Since 2005 the mill has been giving visitors a look into how their olive oil is made. Here’s why it matters.

What the new federal childcare investment will mean to…

View this email in your browserWhat the new federal childcare
investment will mean to youThe Build Back Better plan, that Congress has been discussing for months, is taking shape. The expected investment to help children and families is $600 billion, which will be spent on the following:

• Universal Preschool for all 3- and 4-year-olds. This will expand access to free high-quality preschool for more than 6 million children.
• Making high-quality childcare affordable. This will limit childcare costs for working parents to no more than 7% of their income, helping about 20 million children.
• Extending the Expanded Child Tax Credit. This will provide more than 35 million American households, with continued monthly payments for another year.

If the bill passes, it will be life-changing for so many American families. 

We were particularly pleased to see that Universal Pre-K will be executed through a mixed-delivery system that folds Pre-K into all high-quality child care programs — home- or center-based.

This will fortify families’ freedom to make the best choices for their specific circumstances.

We are also delighted by the extension of the enhanced child tax credit, which we know has made a difference to so many of you.CFAC members are working tirelessly to get this over the finish line and passed by Congress in the coming weeks, so it can make a tangible difference to your life and that of your loved ones.WE NEED YOUR HELP – make sure Congress knows you want them to pass this bill! If you haven’t already, reach out to your lawmaker and tell them to vote for the Build Back Better plan, to help children and families.

And please share this email with everyone you know!THANK YOU for all your support over the past several months as we have campaigned for #CareForAllChildren!

Of course, even if the bill passes, this isn’t the end of our advocacy to make sure that all young children have the care that they deserve.18 Inverness Place E, Englewood CO 80112
