I’ve got a friend who’s not taking any Covid precautions because he’s angry about restrictions placed on people at the beginning of the pandemic. He wants to forget it ever happened. I mentioned Covid can infect dogs. He loves his dog. He paused & said “well what can I do?”

I felt a moment of hope because it seemed like the risk to his dog MIGHT be the thing that got through to him. I shared a few articles about Covid in dogs and he was horrified and genuinely worried for his pup. He wanted to know how to protect her.

We discussed HEPA filters & ventilation, testing & masking around your pet if you have Covid. I explained how a layered approach is the most effective. His reply? “That really sucks. I don’t want anything to happen to my dog. But that’s way too much work.”

This person doesn’t care about their own health or the health of those around them - but they DO care about their dog. Yet getting a HEPA & masking when ill was considered “too much” to prevent something they described as horrific. I don’t get it. How do we get people to care?

Also if you’re not aware of the risk of Covid in dogs (and all animals) I highly recommend researching it and doing whatever you can to protect them from infection. They are completely vulnerable and need their humans to do the right thing.

furqanshah,

@broadwaybabyto this will sound insensitive, but some people need to learn the hard way.

🌱☘️🌿 Adventures of a baby snail called Rainbow🌈 as “Robinson Crusoe” - stranded on an island, surrounded by water.

Added some calcium carbonate (similar to chicken egg shell) for nutrition.

150 frames captured at 30-second intervals. Played back at 15 frames per second! 🐌🐚

🍄🍄 Found some odd looking “blackened” mushrooms giving a #fossil vibe. I wonder what’s going on here. There is also some beautiful moss growing directly on the mushrooms.

🌿🍃 I did an to see how various types of respond to moisture. I found a stick with many different kinds of lichen and sprayed water on it every few minutes. Here is a 1 hour video!

Can you spot the gorilla? 🐌🌈

furqanshah,

@nicod @furqanshah This is about one hour reduced to 27 seconds. But YES, surprisingly fast even in normal time. He’s been christened “Rainbow🌈”

furqanshah,

@NatureMC @nicod Hahaha! Tell you what, as soon as I had posted my comment, I knew I was going to get into trouble for referring to Rainbow🌈 as a "he". My bad! 😀

furqanshah,

@NatureMC Look at this one 😀

furqanshah,

@NatureMC that’s a good question. I’m going to monitor this and see what happens. First is to keep it hydrated and humid…

furqanshah,

@NatureMC Here are some pictures after 5 days. I’m keeping the moisture intact by leaving the entire thing in a freezer bag, overnight. One could also have some kind of a lid.
