They tell you not to cry. They tell you he’s just a dog, not a human. They tell you it will pass. They tell you that animals do not know that they must die. They tell you that the important thing is not to make them suffer. They tell you that you can get another one. They tell you it will happen. They tell you there are more unbearable pains. But they don’t know how many times you’ve looked your dog in the eye. They don’t know how many times it was you and your dog that looked in the dark. They don’t know how many times your dog was the only one by your side. They don’t know that the only one who hasn’t judged you is your dog. They don’t know how scared you were the night his moans woke you up. They don’t know how many times your dog has slept next to you. They don’t know how much you’ve changed since the dog became a part of your life. They don’t know how many times you hugged him when he was sick. They don’t know how many times you pretended not to see when his hair was getting whiter and whiter. They don’t know how many times you’ve talked to your dog, the only one who really listens to you. They don’t know how good you were to your dog. Little do they know that only your dog knew you were in pain. They don’t know what it’s like to see your old dog trying to come over and say hello. They don’t know that when things go wrong, the only one who isn’t gone is your dog. They don’t know that your dog trusts you, every moment of his life, even at the last moment. They don’t know how much your dog loved you and how little he needed to be happy, because you were enough for him. They don’t know that crying for a dog is one of the noblest, most meaningful, truest and purest things you can do. They don’t know about the last time you rocked him hard… being careful not to hurt him. They don’t know what you felt when you caressed his face in the last moments of his life.
Did you know that one of the first coins in the world had a bee symbol on them?

Did you know that in contact with metal spoon these enzymes die? The best way to eat honey is with wooden spoon, if you can’t find one, use plastic.
Did you know that honey contains a substance that helps your brain work better?
Did you know that honey is one of the rare foods on earth that alone can sustain human life?
Did you know that bees saved people in Africa from starvation?
One spoon of honey is enough to sustain human life for 24 hours?
Did you know that propolis that bees produce is one of the most powerful natural ANTIBIOTICS?
Did you know that honey has no expiration date?
Did you know that the bodies of the great emperors of the world were buried in golden coffins and then covered with honey to prevent putrefaction?
Did you know that the term “HONEY MOON” comes from the fact that newlyweds consumed honey for fertility after the wedding?
Did you know that a bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey, but for her it is a lifetime.
Thank you, BEES!

After almost 2 full days, Mahale and baby were reunited this morning!
Mahale gave birth via emergency C-section after natural labor stopped progressing. Baby wasn’t breathing well on his own so he stayed in the hospital with the medical team until he could be reunited with mom.
Laika, “Little Barker”, real name Kudrjavka, “curly”.
Captured on the street, in Moscow.
Half Husky and half Terrier, she was around 3 years old at the time.
Choice because good, docile and perfectly adaptable to the Sputnik 2. capsule. Equipped for life support (food and water) the mission didn’t involve return.
For Laika it was a death sentence.
The interior of the satellite was lined and the interior space was wide enough to allow Laika to lie or stand. The internal temperature was set to 15. and a refrigeration system had to protect the animal from excessive thermal surges.
On November 3rd at 2 am Sputnik 2 was launched into space.
Laika probably survived for seven hours. But some sources claim that agony was much longer: four days. Alone, in space.
The satellite returned to atmosphere 5 months later, April 14, 1958, after turning 2.570 laps around Earth.
It disintegrated upon return to the atmosphere.
There’s a deep guilt that all of us should feel reading what we did to Laika. Human progress has often been achieved at the expense of animals that had nothing to do with our desire for supremacy.
Many people believe this was an acceptable price for our conquests, but it seems obvious, even reading this story that was really just a trivial form of prevarication.
We had a duty to choose another path. We still have that duty today.”
