If your dog is sniffing your genital area, here is what it means

  Dogs have a way of greeting one another that might leave you a little uncomfortable — sniffing each other’s rear ends. But when your furry friend turns their attention to your crotch, it can feel downright awkward. So, why do they do this? For anyone who’s ever had a dog, it’s no surprise that dogs communicate and greet others in various ways, with their sense of smell playing a key role. Dogs explore the world through their noses, and their sniffing habits are how they gather important information. The dog’s superior sense of smell comes from 220 million scent receptors in their nose. That’s about 50 times more than humans have, giving dogs the ability to detect scents that are completely undetectable to us. Simply put, dogs are incredibly curious creatures, and they have a keen sense of smell that helps them gather information about you. Dogs are drawn to strong odors, explains Jennifer Sperry, a veterinarian with Pets Plus Us Insurance, tells Rover.com. Crotches, with their sw...

Melania Trump breaks silence on Alex Pretti shooting with rare plea to the U.S.

 

First Lady Melania Trump has made the rare decision to speak out on current events in the wake of the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti at the hands of ICE and Border Patrol agents at the weekend.

Pretti was pepper-sprayed, restrained, and then shot dead in Minnesota on Saturday, January 7, less than a month after the death of Renee Good in similarly shocking circumstances.

The subsequent backlash has been fierce and widespread, with multiple video angles appearing to counter the initial claim made by the Department of Homeland Security implying that Pretti had been a credible threat to ICE agents at the scene. While Pretti did have a firearm (one that he reportedly had a permit to carry), the gun remained holstered at all times, until one of the officers took it from him. It was after the 37-year-old had been disarmed that he was shot dead.

Nevertheless, the likes of White House advisor Stephen Miller and former CBP commander Gregory Bovino painted Pretti as a “domestic terrorist” (as was done to Renee Good in the wake of her tragic shooting).

The widespread uproar following Pretti’s death led the White House to seemingly backtrack on the initial stance that the ICU nurse’s demise was essentially his own fault.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called Pretti’s death a “tragedy”, while President Donald Trump said yesterday that his administration would be reviewing the shooting.


Melania Trump has absolutely not made a point of making her voice heard where matters of state are concerned, but the FLOTUS spoke on Fox & Friends this week to call for unity in the U.S.

“We need to unify. I’m calling for unity I know my husband the president had a great call yesterday with the governor and the mayor and they’re working together to make it peaceful and without riots,” she said.

She finished by saying: “I’m against violence, so if you protest, protest in peace.”

Just what the near future holds for the city of Minneapolis and the state of Minnesota remains to be seen, but Trump yesterday revealed he was sending in his so-dubbed “border tsar” Tom Homan. Homan will be charged with overseeing the operation – nicknamed Operation Metro Surge – and reporting directly to Trump himself.

The family of Alex Pretti, meanwhile, angrily kicked back at what they labeled lies being told by the Trump administration concerning their son.

In a heartbroken statement, they said: “Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

“The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs.

“He has his phone in his right hand, and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper-sprayed.”

What do you make of Melania Trump’s call for unity? Can it be achieved in the current political climate? Let us know in the comments.

Common back-pain drug may be linked to higher dementia risk, large study finds

  A pain medication that millions of Americans rely on for chronic back pain may come with a hidden risk: a significantly higher chance of developing dementia or other cognitive problems, according to a major new study. Compared 26,000 adults Researchers from Case Western Reserve University and several partner institutions analyzed medical records from 68 health systems across the U.S., comparing 26,414 adults prescribed gabapentin for persistent low-back pain with a matched group who had similar pain — but didn’t take the drug. Their finding was sobering: Adults who received six or more gabapentin prescriptions were 29% more likely to be diagnosed with dementia and 85% more likely to develop mild cognitive impairment (MCI) within 10 years. The risk wasn’t limited to older adults. In fact, it was younger Americans who saw the most dramatic increases. Younger adults saw shocking risk increases For people normally considered decades away from dementia: Ages 35–49 taking gabapentin ha...

“Pfizer Provides Critical COVID Vaccine Update — What It Means for You” – Tbdig Divaxo

 For years, the world was told to trust the science, to roll up our sleeves, and to believe that the path back to normalcy was paved with a single, universal solution. We were promised safety, efficacy, and a return to the lives we once knew, but beneath the surface of the grand medical experiment, a different narrative was quietly taking shape. Now, as the dust settles and the data emerges, the cracks in that monolithic promise have finally begun to reveal a reality that many were silenced for even questioning. The recent disclosures regarding the long-term safety profile of the COVID-19 vaccines have ignited a firestorm of debate, forcing a re-examination of the trust we placed in institutions that claimed to have our best interests at heart. What was once dismissed as fringe speculation is now being scrutinized under the harsh light of post-pandemic reflection, as individuals and families grapple with the potential consequences of a decision they were told was mandatory for the ...
