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!

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
