Strolling with the Branco

100% JESUS3 Comments

years ago, when I left to go to work, I found him passing by the sidewalk, in front of the condominium door where I live. He smelled by sidewalk and looked for food; I bought a cupcake and saw that it was hungry. I realized he needed help, and I took him home.

Branco is a dog experienced, lived with other people who abandoned him on the street when he aged and lost his sight, I suppose. He does not see good because had glaucoma in both eyes. I don’t know how old he is, but he has a lot of energy.

I am told that he is old. I also read that poodle breed with age can have glaucoma, and he has; and also that the old dog usually has whitish hair on its nose. Well, he has a lot of hair, so I don’t know if he’s too old.

I love being at home in the Home Office, which I once dreamed, researching and working, dealing with subjects and people from near and far. Currently, I go out alone, only when necessary; when Branco “takes me” to walk on the streets, on by the neighborhood where I also live since childhood, this it relaxes and calms me…

Walking and thinking, remembering and talking to the LORD, to myself, Branco, people, and other dogs…

 

 

Then, I look and see places I’ve been; children playing soccer, houses, buildings, restaurants, the shop where my aunt-mother had her beautiful store off pieces of decoration in the gallery of stores with the circular concrete walkways I liked to run; people passing by; other sidewalk pets with their owners; also some stray dogs and cats, and homeless people.

Branco wants to smell every dog ​​urine he finds on the sidewalk, he stops, I stop too, and wait; sometimes I need to pull him because he wants to lick. Dog thing.

He gives me support on the strolling; because people wouldn’t understand someone alone in the afternoon or evening, walking and stopping by the sidewalk, looking the movement around, and whispering to herself. They would find it strange, to say the least.

I always lived with pets, and I realized I need them, more than they need me.

 

 

In that daily simplicity, this has been our recent little history, here in SP*; always under Mercy LORD and His Support: protecting, instructing, guiding, enlightening, and correcting. I seek to remain on the Lane, to configure the honest and permanent Image — the Chemistry of GOOD.

And how “For with God nothing shall be impossible.” (Luke 1:37), I think Princess could complement our team.

* SP is the acronym of the name of the city of São Paulo (St. Paul), here in Brazil.
São Paulo refers to the Apostle Paul. 
The city was founded in 1554 by the Spanish Jesuit Jose de Anchieta shortly after the beginning of colonization.
It is the largest city in South America; blessed, but with immense social contrast, just like all of Brazil.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Philippians 4:8,9

Love SAVES!

It seems quite evident that God created pets, animals of different species, and all things, and united us, to inspire in humans the desire to care, and to teach them to respect and love all around them.

Since evolution and civilization have alienated human animals from the understanding and feeling that they also belong to the same Creator Principle of Heaven and Earth.

DIVINE WISDOM shows that pets, and animals in general, are as worthy or more than human animals; and have always deserved the respect and care of human beings, but they are cruelly neglected.

 

A NEW AWARENESS, yes, is a legitimate and healthy global movement:

. Necessary FAITH in GOOD, derived from the honest understanding and practice of CHRISTIAN doctrine; is the necessary ethical choice;

. PETS, animals of all species, and the environment being treated with respect by humans, on the benefit of all; and,

.VEGAN* REVOLUTION — because it is not possible to destroy all forests and turn them into pasture for fattening cattle, for excessive and harmful use of animal protein in human foods, and enrichment of some in the livestock industry and its affiliated political positions; IGNORING the ill-treatment to animals kept in confinement, CRUELTY in transportation and industrial slaughterhouses; in DETRIMENT of a more varied diet balanced and healthier for people — without meat or animal products —, and of the necessary and late sustainable use of the environment.

* I greatly reduced meat intake but use eggs; I avoid foods saturated with industrial chemistry and the use of products that exploit animals. My pets feed on rice, vegetables, and chicken, boiled; coconut oil, and cornmeal cake with rice milk.

 

FOODS should serve HEALTH and not the disease.

Like any other DRUG, people have become hostages, sick and slaves to the BAD food and its “antidotes“: miracle products and diets, gyms, aesthetic clinics, and quacks, to sustain vanity. They lose their pennies, and often their lives, to regain health and self-esteem.

Excessive consumption of animal protein from hormone-filled meats to accelerate growth; transgenic products; industrialized garbage called of the drink or food; EXCESS salt, fat, sugar, thickeners, preservatives, acidulants, dyes, etc., and treated water, saturated with chlorine, hormones, etc.

As they say: “You are what you eat!“ Physically and Spiritually.

Healthy food and water = GOOD BLOOD!!

 

“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.” Romans 8:39

They give unconditional love, companionship, and purpose.

 

Pet owners have less depression, anxiety, and loneliness.

 

They get people outside for exercise and social contact.

 

Pets make neighborhoods feel safer and workplaces more fun.

 

Don’t BUY, ADOPT!

Dog Who Waited For Deceased Owner By Empty Hospital Bed Finds New Family

100% JESUSLeave a comment

 

A rescue dog mourning the loss of his adoptive human has found a new family after a photo of him grieving went viral.

The dog, Moose, was pictured sitting next to his human’s hospital bed, patiently waiting for his dad’s return, unaware that his owner had passed away.

Eleventh Hour Rescue

The photo was posted by Eleventh Hour Rescue along with the dog’s story and a plea to find him a new home a week after Moose’s owner’s death. The rescue wrote of the photo:

“Moose sat patiently next to his dad’s hospital bed, waiting for him to return, not knowing that “Dad” had passed away. Poor Moose has now been returned to Eleventh Hour Rescue and he’s taking the loss of his dad pretty hard.”

The rescue later told TODAY that Moose also “was waiting by the door, waiting for his owner to come home” according to Moose’s owner’s caretaker. She couldn’t console him so returned him to Eleventh Hour Rescue so they could try and get him adopted.

Moose, a 3-year-old Labrador mix, had a sad back story that Eleventh Hour shared. Moose was found tied to a railroad sign in front of an animal shelter in Georgia in 2017.

Moose was at that shelter for many months and during that time he had no interest from adopters. This was very unfortunate for Moose. You see, the longer a dog sits at a kill shelter, the closer they get to being euthanized due to overcrowding. Luckily for Moose, a local shelter volunteer was determined to not let that be his fate.”

The volunteer arranged for a rescue partner to take Moose and he was transported to New Jersey where he quickly won many fans among the volunteers.

” We were won over by his happy personality and his love for life. We were all rooting for Moose to find his perfect home. And then one day, his “dad” discovered him and they fell in love. Moose finally had a loving home of his own. The future seemed pretty bright for Moose. But a year later tragedy struck and his dad passed away, leaving Moose in need of a home once again.”

The rescue asked if someone could help “Moose’s heart heal” with either a foster or permanent home.

Moose’s photo and story quickly spread online and the rescue soon received several adoption applications. And within three days they announced “this sweet, loving boy” has been adopted.

“MOOSE HAS BEEN ADOPTED by a wonderful family who will care for and love him for the rest of his life! Here is Moose pictured with his new human siblings (Mom & Dad were a bit camera shy). Thank you again to everyone who shared his story!”

Eleventh Hour revealed that Moose is going to a four-person family who recently lost their own dog of 14 years and wanted a dog they could give a home to. They also are friends of one of the rescue’s volunteers.

We’re so happy that Moose now has a chance to heal and has found a forever home. To see more of the dogs Eleventh Hour has available for adoption, visit their website.

 
 

Want to raise emotionally intelligent children? Give them a pet!

100% JESUSLeave a comment

Any parent wants their children to be successful people, and nowadays, emotional intelligence is just as important as technical skills or academic training.
How to create emotionally intelligent children? The answer is simple: give them a pet! The Washington Post has listed some of the benefits of the relationship between children and dogs, but we can expand to the relationship with animals in general.

 

Three lessons that pets can teach children

1. Develop Empathy:
Empathy is an ability to perceive and understand nonverbal changes: facial expressions, body language, and gestures.
Children who live with pets will have this type of behavior stimulated positively by observing a puppy running towards the door demonstrating the urge to walk.
In the study of psychology researcher Robert Poresky of Kansas State University, USA, it has been shown that there is a strong correlation between childhood empathy and coexistence of children with animals, that is, children living with animals learn early to see if the other , Whether human or not, is feeling or suffering with pain, hunger, cold or fear. Brothers created in this way tend to be more attentive and caring about others.

 

 

2. Responsibility and self-esteem
Giving children a serious task is important for self-esteem due to a sense of responsibility. Teaching a five-year-old to swap water from his pet’s pot or make sure he is feeding himself can be a rewarding task for the child, according to research published by Walthan.
The presence of pets had a positive influence on the cognitive ability – ability to read and learn to write of the children interviewed.
In the same study, pre-teens who owned pets claimed to have better self-esteem than those who did not.

 

 

3. Teaches you to reduce stress
The presence of animals or even the mere observation of a group of puppy puppies playing is enough to calm any human. By petting a pet, a child can relax and the blood pressure of both can decrease in a beneficial way.
This is not very news, some schools have even adopted the ideam.

Pets are remedy against loneliness

100% JESUSLeave a comment

Research with 2,000 people shows that tutors of dogs and cats feel less socially isolated compared to those who do not have animals at home.

 

They are the best remedy against loneliness and work overload. A survey commissioned by the pet food and pet company Mars Petcare at OnePoll with 2,000 people found that after a month of a cat or dog’s arrival, 75% of them no longer feel alone.

The study found that 33% of respondents describe themselves as “socially isolated” and claim to have only two people they can truly trust. There are a number of factors identified as triggers for this isolation, but there is an excessive dedication to work – 32% of respondents revealed that overtime was detrimental to their personal lives – and the exaggeration in the use of social networks – 25% of people admitted that a large part of their social interactions happen online.

The survey also found that respondents feel alone on average seven days a month, that six out of 10 people present social anxiety and more than 75% avoid complete socialization. In addition, 44% think that the human being is less friendly than it was just five years ago, 75% believe that people are becoming more distant from each other compared to previous generations and one in six respondents admits that they care more with what others think about him than they did five years ago.

However, pets seem to make all the difference: 21% of people who own cats and dogs said they feel alone, compared to 32% of those who do not have pets.

According to Deri Watkins, Mars Petcare Executive, pets can be part of the solution to the growing question of loneliness. “This research shows the tangible difference our canine and feline friends can make in the lives of lonely people.”

§ 82% of animal tutors interviewed felt less alone receiving an animal.

§ 4 out of 5 respondents said the feeling of isolation disappeared 1 month after the pet happened to be a part of their lives.

§ 6 out of 10 people interviewed reported that the pet is their closest companion.

§ 85% of respondents said that their pet makes the home a happier place to live.

§ Over 50% of respondents attribute to pet a new sense of purpose for their lives.

§ 50% of interviewed dog tutors are more likely to talk to people they do not know when they walk with the pet.

§ 62% of respondents who own a dog said they do more exercise.

The Healing Power of Animals

100% JESUS3 Comments

 

Creating a bond with animals enriches our lives and relationships with other humans. Here’s why you should try pet therapy.

The Healing Power of Animals

Pet lovers are more than aware of the special bond they share with their four-legged friend, including how the unconditional love and affection from a pet can alleviate negative emotions. Science supports how connecting with an animal can change our
lives in many ways. 

“By observing or interacting with animals, I believe we can glimpse other worlds, worlds beyond our human perception and experience,” said Dr Annie Potts, co-director of the New Zealand Centre for Human-Animal Studies for the University of Canterbury. 

“Personally I find this really inspirational. Watching seagulls fly, for example. This is not an experience we can know ourselves, but we can glimpse how this is for another creature, and watching this difference in experience can open our own worlds up to myriad things: compassion towards another being, respect for their abilities, and best of all, we can experience wonder when we truly engage with another species.” 

The use of pet therapy, or animal-assisted therapy, is not new. Dr Aubrey Fine, a US specialist in this field, has been using the technique for more than 30 years. However, the applications have grown and adapted over the years. In Liam Creed’s book, A Puppy Called Aero (Hachette, 2009), he describes how he was able to overcome much of the ‘bad behaviour’ associated with his attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In Australia, the Delta Society runs a Pet Partners programme where teams of volunteers with specially trained dogs visit hospital and nursing homes.

But it’s not just pets that can enrich our lives. Striking up a bond with so-called ‘farm’ animals can also be rewarding, said author Jeffrey Masson. A former US resident, Masson, who has written several books on the emotional lives of farm animals, now resides in New Zealand. He describes a pig called Piglet who lived on a beach in Auckland and “made the sweetest sounds” during a full moon.

Potts believes there’s also much to learn from our feathered friends. “One of the key things we can learn from [birds] is how to simply enjoy life and not be burdened by our very human concerns such as career and consumerism,” she said.
