    Wellness Exams

    One of the most significant parts of preventive care is wellness exams. A routine checkup with one of our highly experienced veterinarians will include a complete physical exam where the pet is checked for the overall body condition, heart, and lungs. All these examinations allow us to notice any health concern even before any symptoms occur. It also catches diseases in earlier stages, such as heart disease, kidney problems, or even cancer, which in turn improves the pet’s quality of life by strictly increasing the chances of easy treatments.

    Vaccinations

    Preventive care is built with vaccinations as a core component. These can prevent our beloved pets from falling victim to many infectious diseases, ranging from very severe to deadly. vaccines include parvovirus, rabies, and distemper, but we may add others based on the pet’s specific risk factors.

    Our goal is to ensure the pet is protected from dangerous diseases and that they stay up-to-date on their vaccinations as they grow and their exposure to different environments increases. This will also keep the pet from infecting other animals in our community, keeping the environment healthy overall.

    Parasite Prevention

    These include fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. In addition to being a nuisance, they can be dangerous vectors for serious diseases like Lyme disease, heartworm, and other infections. Parasite prevention is critical to our pet’s health.

    Diagnostic Testing

    With even the finest preventive care, sometimes health issues might crop up. That’s why we include diagnostic testing as part of our preventive approach. Regular blood, urine, and fecal tests identify issues not showing apparent symptoms but may be indicative of a health problem. Early detection of conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or infections can make a big difference in prognosis for our pets.

    Proper Nutrition

    One of the vital factors in ensuring that our pets remains healthy in the long term is a well-balanced diet. Proper nutrition provides support for our pet’s growth, energy levels, and immune system, and helps prevent problems such as obesity, heart disease, and digestive issues.

    Dental Care

    Dental health is not generally addressed, but for our pets, it plays a significant role in their general well-being. Poor dental care may bring in gum disease, tooth loss, and even serious conditions like heart or kidney disease.

    We want you to be confident in the decisions you make for your donations.
    we are dedicated to providing the highest level of care for our pets.

    They Need All The Love And Support You Can Give. Thank You And The Animals Thank You.

  • On May 15, 1948.

    A three-year-old’s brutal murder begins an unusual investigation.
    On May 15, 1948, 3-year-old June Devaney, recovering from pneumonia at Queen’s Park Hospital in Blackburn, England, is kidnapped from her bed. Nurses discovered her missing at 1:20 a.m. the next day, and police were immediately summoned to investigate. Two hours later, her body was found with multiple skull fractures. The medical examiner determined that Devaney had been raped and then swung headfirst into a wall.

    Two significant clues were found in the children’s ward that would prove helpful in catching the killer: footprints on the freshly cleaned floor and a water bottle that had been moved. Although there were several fingerprints on the bottle, police were able to account for all but one set. These prints also failed to match any of those in the police’s database of known criminals.

    Investigators fingerprinted over 2,000 people who had access to the hospital. Still, they couldn’t find a match. Detective Inspector John Capstick then went even further: He decided that every man in the town of Blackburn, a city with more than 25,000 homes, would be fingerprinted.

    A procedure such as this would be impossible in the United States where Fourth Amendment protections prevent searches without probable cause. But the plan went into effect in Blackburn on May 23, with police assurances that the collected prints would be destroyed afterward. Two months later, the police had collected over 40,000 sets of prints yet still had not turned up a match. Checking against every registry they could find, authorities determined that there were still a few men in town who hadn’t provided their prints.

    On August 11, police caught up with one of these men, Peter Griffiths. His footprints matched the ones found at the scene. When his fingerprints also came back a match, he confessed to the awful crime, blaming it on alcohol.

    Griffiths was found guilty of murder and was executed on November 19, 1948.

  • On May 4, 1976.
    Young woman and her married lover arrested for killing her family.

    Patricia Columbo and Frank DeLuca are arrested for the brutal slaying of Columbo’s parents and brother in Elk Grove, Illinois. Twenty-year-old Columbo had left her family home two years earlier to live with DeLuca, a 36-year-old married man. The pair later killed Frank, Mary and Michael Columbo in order to receive the family inheritance, unaware that the Columbos had written Patricia out of their wills years earlier.

    As a 16-year-old, Columbo worked in a suburban coffee shop where she met pharmacist Frank DeLuca, who managed the pharmacy next door. He soon hired her to work in his store and the two began an unusual sexual relationship; Columbo showed classmates pictures of her having sex with DeLuca’s dog.

    In April 1974, DeLuca brought Columbo to stay in his own home, despite the fact that he still lived with his wife and five kids. Her parents were relieved when she later told them she was going to move into her own apartment, and even provided her with money. However, they soon learned that DeLuca had left his wife and moved in with their daughter, prompting Columbo’s father to beat DeLuca severely.

    On May 4, 1976, Patricia Columbo, then 19, and Frank DeLuca, 39, decided to carry out the plan themselves. They crept into the Columbo family home and shot Columbo’s parents. They then bludgeoned Mike with a bowling trophy and stabbed him nearly 100 times with scissors. Police questioned Patricia but had no reason to suspect her until the following week.

    Inspired by the promise of reward money, a friend led police to the men who had discussed killing the Columbo family with Patricia. After the couple was arrested, DeLuca’s employees revealed that they had seen him washing and burning bloodstained clothes on the day after the murders. Apparently, he had kept them silent by threatening their families. While in jail, DeLuca attempted to have these witnesses killed by a cellmate, but another inmate thwarted the plan by telling the police.

    The jury convicted Patricia Columbo and Frank DeLuca, and they were each sentenced to 200 to 300 years in prison. But Columbo managed to keep herself in the spotlight: In 1979, it was reported that she had assisted in organizing sex orgies involving guards and wardens at her prison in Dwight, Illinois. High-ranking officials at the prison, including the warden, were forced to resign in the wake of the scandal.

  • Have you heard of the “African unicorn”?

    Okapis have tongues long enough to wash their eyelids.
    The 6-foot-tall, roughly 500-pound, famously shy okapi (Okapia johnstoni) can only be found in the wild in the Ituri tropical rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its biology features some amazing adaptations: A unique strip pattern on its rump helps the mammal blend in with shade cast by the rainforest canopy, and its fur is coated in a natural oil that repels moisture, something that rainforests obviously provide in abundance. What’s more, the okapi’s large ears can detect even the slightest disturbance, and okapi mothers communicate with their young in frequencies beyond human hearing. However, perhaps the okapi’s most useful evolutionary trait is its tongue. Stretching some 12 to 14 inches, it’s long enough to swat flies, clean the okapi’s ears, and even clean its eyelids. The tongue is also prehensile, meaning it can grasp and strip leaves from branches. This is immensely useful, as okapis can eat up to 60 pounds of food every day.

    Although okapis live an isolated existence and look like a cross between a zebra and a deer, their tongues give away their genetic lineage. Okapis are the only living relatives of the giraffe, which explains the animal’s nicknames, including forest giraffe, Congolese giraffe, and zebra giraffe. Like okapis, giraffes also sport blue-hued prehensile tongues, and scientists estimate that the two species shared a common ancestry some 11 million to 12 million years ago. Today, unfortunately, okapis live under threat from deforestation, mining, armed militant groups, and hunting. Thankfully, groups like the Okapi Conservation Project are hard at work preserving the habitat of this “Congolese unicorn” for generations to come.

    Rough length (in inches) of the average human tongue
    3 Inches.

    Weight (in pounds) of a blue whale’s tongue
    8,000

    Estimated number of okapis living in the Okapi Wildlife Reserve
    3,500

    Number of stomachs okapis have
    4


    Until 1901, Western scientists thought the okapi was a mythical creature.

    For a mammal that can weigh hundreds of pounds, the scientific discovery of the okapi seems startlingly late. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, Western scientists heard about an “African unicorn” that some Congolese Indigenous peoples called o’api. However, because okapis live in hard-to-reach rainforests and are famously shy, experts dismissed the animal as simply a myth, a cryptid similar to the yeti of the Himalayas or the Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest. However, in 1900, British explorer Sir Harry Johnston sent the first hide samples to the Zoological Society of London, and the okapi “myth” transformed into reality. Although finally “found” (at least by Western scientists; local tribes likely knew of the animal for millennia), traces of the okapi’s once-mythical status can still be seen — the creature serves as a mascot of sorts for the International Society of Cryptozoology. Because if the “African unicorn” is real, what else might science turn up next?

  • Hey there!

    Have you ever wondered about the roots of the Castle Doctrine and how it impacts us today? This legal concept, often summarized as "a man's home is his castle," has a fascinating history and significant modern-day implications.

    Originating in English common law, the Castle Doctrine allows individuals to use reasonable force, including deadly force, to defend themselves against an intruder in their home. This principle has been adopted and adapted in various forms across the United States, influencing laws on self-defense and home protection.

    In today's world, the Castle Doctrine plays a crucial role in legal discussions about self-defense and personal safety. It's essential to understand how these laws can affect you and your rights. Whether you're at home or on the go, knowing your rights can provide peace of mind and empower you to make informed decisions.

    At Arm Yourself, I believe in staying informed and prepared. From understanding your legal rights to exploring self-defense options, being on the ball means being ready for anything.

  • Park Safety Map for Joggers & Runners
    Use this park safety map to learn about the different areas of the park and their safety considerations.

    This is a general park safety map and all parks and outdoor environments may be different.

    Wooded Paths and Areas
    Wooded paths and dense areas of a park should generally be avoided if you're jogging because they possess natural seclusion and limited visibility.

    There is normally heavy tree cover, bushes and undergrowth, and winding trails which all lead to obscure sightlines and difficulty in using situational awareness and observing strangers from a distance.

    Due to their limited sunlight and rugged terrain, they are also often sparely populated which leads to less bystanders that can intervene if necessary.

    And the lack of lighting and quieter atmosphere provides cover for predators with bad intentions.

    Lastly, the uneven terrain and hidden roots or branches can be dangerous, making it harder to react quickly or change direction if you sense danger.

    Entrances and Exits
    Park entrances and exits can be dangerous for runners because they often involve transitioning through less populated isolated areas like parking lots or side streets.

    These "transition areas" are typically quieter, especially in the early morning or evening, making it easier for predators to stalk their victims. The lack of foot traffic and normal poor lighting also increases the risk of being targeted in these areas.

    Since people often let their guard down when arriving or leaving, runners may become more vulnerable in these areas. Staying alert, having your self-defense products ready, and avoiding lingering near entrances or exits can help reduce these risks.

    Waterfront or Lake Areas
    Waterfronts and lake areas can pose dangerous conditions for runners due to how desolate they can get and their natural terrain that's advantageous for predators.

    Running paths along lakes and waterways are often very desolate and contain few exit points since one whole side of the path is bordered by water. The other side is often bordered by dense woods or forest terrain which make running paths closed off with limited visibility.

    The variable terrain leading down from the normal ground to the water allows for favorable hiding spots for predators.

    The water's natural sounds and noises can also provide coverage for a predator.

    Well-Lit Roads & Paths
    Well-lit roads and paths are the best options for runners and joggers in parks at any hour of the day since they are normally the most populated and provide greater visibility even in darker settings.

    These well-lit areas are typically popular running routes and therefore discourage criminals from loitering in those areas. If something were to happen, there are normally bystanders or other runners in the area to call for help or personally intervene.

    Fields and Open Clearings
    Fields and open clearings are typically populated by families, children, and groups of adults, which make them great for running or jogging. The presence of recreational activities and gathering points increases the likelihood of bystanders and decreases the likelihood of violent crime.

    Open areas also provide a clear line of sight and greater visibility with less obstructions, which makes it easier to observe people from far away and evaluate their risk level.

    There's also more space to maneuver if someone were to present a risk, and you'd be provided with several different escape routes if necessary.

    Bridges and Tunnels
    Bridges and tunnels can be a potential area of concern for joggers due to their enclosed nature and limited visibility. A bridge or tunnel typically only has two ends and therefore only two escape routes if someone were to attack you.

    Bridges and tunnels also normally don't have much lighting or very poor lighting which hinders visibility. As mentioned earlier, the water's natural sounds provide coverage for a predator and added elements that can throw off a jogger.

Well-Lit Roads & Paths Well-lit roads and paths are the best options for runners and joggers in parks at any hour of the day since they are normally the most populated and provide greater visibility even in darker settings. These well-lit areas are typically popular running routes and therefore discourage criminals from loitering in those areas. If something were to happen, there are normally bystanders or other runners in the area to call for help or personally intervene. Fields and Open Clearings Fields and open clearings are typically populated by families, children, and groups of adults, which make them great for running or jogging. The presence of recreational activities and gathering points increases the likelihood of bystanders and decreases the likelihood of violent crime. Open areas also provide a clear line of sight and greater visibility with less obstructions, which makes it easier to observe people from far away and evaluate their risk level. There's also more space to maneuver if someone were to present a risk, and you'd be provided with several different escape routes if necessary. Bridges and Tunnels Bridges and tunnels can be a potential area of concern for joggers due to their enclosed nature and limited visibility. A bridge or tunnel typically only has two ends and therefore only two escape routes if someone were to attack you. Bridges and tunnels also normally don't have much lighting or very poor lighting which hinders visibility. As mentioned earlier, the water's natural sounds provide coverage for a predator and added elements that can throw off a jogger. #armyourself
