Rabies

My mom and Ty took one of her feral cats to the vet today. They think it had rabies. They're doing a necropsy on it to make sure, but all the symptoms point to rabies. We just got a call from Wilson county sheriff's dept that there are 3 cases here. I don't know if that includes Mom's cat or not.

I'm not taking any chances even though our pets are vaccinated. We have all our pets in the house. There's feral cats running all over our farm.

We had a family of raccoons on our front porch the other night... lol

I'm tempted to catch one and domesticate it...

lol you'd be changing your mind real quick!

I have a friend who occasionally raises wild animals that have been abandoned and she told me racoons are easily the biggest assholes of the animal kingdom. They constantly get in your stuff and tear it to pieces.

Maybe I'm part raccoon then, since I do that too...

If the test comes back positive for rabies, my mom is gonna have to do something. She might not like it, but they all might have to be put down.

We're doing all we can do to rehome kittens. I have a house full right now. The humane society is helping find homes, and our vet is giving us discounts on neutering. Two go tomorrow for neutering, and they're just the tip of the iceberg.

Cats and Farms go together too! I have never shown a horse ranch (back when I was a real estate broker) without there being cats around. Nor ever rode without cats around.

Don't vets have to immediately put an animal down if they are found to have rabies?

My Sister and Brother in law had a pet raccoon. (They live in a housing development, but it's out in in the country.) A Sheriff's Deputy showed up one day and confiscated the raccoon. Seems that you can't have a normally wild animal as a pet. (Even though it was kind of a "house" raccoon.) They had gotten it rabies shots, but the one they give to cats is the same one they give to raccoons. It's only like 60-70% effective.

My BIL in was PO'ed! They had laying hens and ever a rabbit, but you can't keep a pet raccoon!

Keep all their shots current and they should be OK. My biggest fear around here are snakes! This condo complex seem to be a snake magnet!

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
