We took a nice walk in the yard/garden and he enjoyed it very much. Since he was weak from not eating for some time, we were just sitting together outside in the big chair. Last night he went to sleep under my </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">bed but still used the litterbox upstairs. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> This morning (Sunday, May 30, 2021) he was still there sleeping, so, me and the cats layed down on the carpet with him, making sure he was okay and comfortable. After a couple hours of sleep, he came out and I noticed that he was wobbly and could not walk further. He peed on the floor. He cried and that sound made me hurt so much. Then he had another nap and after I took him outside to what he still loved. He enjoyed it for a while but then got restless because he was not able to walk and probably had pain. </span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> My husband was working and I was left without a car. Our local vet was closed since it was Sunday. We called their other location (30+ miles away) since they had an emergency service. I called my husband to come home so we can take Mr. Mau for emergency euthanasia. I knew it will be better for Mau if we could help him over the Rainbow Bridge.</span></p><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Mr. Mau came to us in August 2018. He was skinny and infested with multiple parasites. We gave him a forever home and he was a happy cat. He loved everyone and everyone loved him.</div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">He was no trouble at all but was then diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease in January 29 2021, stage 2. His condition stabilized after a few months and giving us hope but then his numbers went up way too high. He was refusing to eat the special dietary food after a few days but we kept up with supplements and other medicines that we hoped would manage his condition. At least for a while. He lost half of his body weight and he was down to about 8 lbs. This all came to pass in a short amount of time and has broken my heart. We had such little time together. <span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu" style="display: inline-flex; font-family: inherit; height: 16px; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle; width: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">He was one of our best kitties and radiated love. <span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu" style="display: inline-flex; font-family: inherit; height: 16px; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle; width: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> I hope that all the pets he knew are awaiting him on the other side of The Rainbow Bridge.

Since Mr. Mau became so picky eater, I sent her a message, that I would more then be happy to take Roscoe's donation and give it a try with Mr. Mau. Special renal food for cats are very expensive and our vet gave Mau a few samples. Much our delight, he loved them.</span></p><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Shortly after Roscoe crossed the Bridge, two packages and a very thoughtful card arrived from Roscoe's mommy. I would like to share this kindness and generosity to honor to this sweet elder gentleman, Roscoe. <span class="pq6dq46d tbxw36s4 knj5qynh kvgmc6g5 ditlmg2l oygrvhab nvdbi5me sf5mxxl7 gl3lb2sf hhz5lgdu" style="display: inline-flex; font-family: inherit; height: 16px; margin: 0px 1px; vertical-align: middle; width: 16px;"><br /></span></div><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcQN330M_F8jHMGkP3hW1GJoLEUq-CsnvCwGIhhGyrd6VEaphHoSGhm_Ulcr5f4jnL4s6yiZhqMnNis7IfAnh6a2MDcxnURfs3ilIQ6u96ygyIqynMzV9GoQhCHCU_byApkatcgbuDdNwA/s2048/163475086_1191410101273481_7932305429459848498_n.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcQN330M_F8jHMGkP3hW1GJoLEUq-CsnvCwGIhhGyrd6VEaphHoSGhm_Ulcr5f4jnL4s6yiZhqMnNis7IfAnh6a2MDcxnURfs3ilIQ6u96ygyIqynMzV9GoQhCHCU_byApkatcgbuDdNwA/s320/163475086_1191410101273481_7932305429459848498_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggh5t3RRMJgGflGJLn1BzzgMoJ8XD5a9lB4t95z2yfqoz7uwEPvjGq5eyeDtWDB1PR0UvtBoAEN7FqqWNV0CnlXBaJ2atKBucBUgUjyemUGRtkznxiYBId8YD64Uzn73sDC07CguoABSQt/s2048/163499249_1096848824145879_685254681747979463_n.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggh5t3RRMJgGflGJLn1BzzgMoJ8XD5a9lB4t95z2yfqoz7uwEPvjGq5eyeDtWDB1PR0UvtBoAEN7FqqWNV0CnlXBaJ2atKBucBUgUjyemUGRtkznxiYBId8YD64Uzn73sDC07CguoABSQt/s320/163499249_1096848824145879_685254681747979463_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fahr069-fzE" width="320" youtube-src-id="fahr069-fzE"></iframe></div><br /><div dir="auto" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></div>Rosegate Furever Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851299373124788514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641902935992234585.post-45229447882552356782021-03-05T09:29:00.008-06:002021-09-23T08:34:39.510-05:00Rosegate is Small with Big Heart<p><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> It has been three years (est.2018) that <a href="http://www.rosegate.org" target="_blank">Rosegate</a> has opened their door for dogs and cats officially on paper but we have done this work humbly for decades previously.
We always have had animals in our life and will continue to do as long as we are able to care for them.
Many of you may be wondering why we are so different. </span><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Why do we not adopt out our animals that have wandered into our lives, into our home and into our hearts? </span><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Or even why we don't have events or attempt huge fundraisers? </span><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Why do we seem to have a small family of animals?... Well, they are here for good that's why. They are now family. They are not products to be bought and sold or barred away with price tags. </span></p><p><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> In all humility, we did have a different dream. We are living in a small farm house but had hopes of expanding <a href="http://www.rosegate.org" target="_blank">Rosegate</a> and providing more space for the wayward animals. Circumstances have not allowed that path to be taken. So we are providing a quality of life for those we can over quantity of animals than anything else.<br /></span></p><p><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> <a href="http://www.rosegate.org" target="_blank">Rosegate</a> decided not to reach out to the local community, since it is a very personal environment. The peaceful home life is what we have been able to give to these fortunate few. I don't have a big mouth to beg people for donation and I am an introvert who prefers calm environment, limit social engagements and enbracing a greater than average solitude and would love to keep it that way.
We do have loyal supporters nearly all in the US states and Internationally. You are all matters and we are so greatful that you are value our work. I also very happy that I am able to make some arts and crafts and they are all proceeds to <a href="http://www.rosegate.org" target="_blank">Rosegate Furever Home</a>. I could of have an expensive vacation(s) by now, but I chose to care for the animals that needed us.
Dealing with some health issues and loss of pets are not easy and always expensive, but something is making me to keep going... In the progress, I do learning a lot, like recently with Mr. Mau learn how to give a Subcutaneous Fluids daily or every other days, giving B12 shots and making sure to provide a special kidney diet to keep the progress slowing down and keep him happy and comfortable. Learned to reducing dry food to all the cats now and giving them more wet foods instead. With Tommy, I had to learn alot about the Squamous Cell Carcinoma, with GiGi I had to learn about Lyme disease, with Rosie I learned alot about Vestibular disease. Queen Cecilia was the luckiest cat so far, she was just slipped away in her dream with a minimal discomfort in the last few days of her life.
There's something special about <a href="http://www.rosegate.org" target="_blank">Rosegate Furever Home</a>... and that makes us being different and valuable.
To those kind souls who have become our friends of furry critter, thank you and please stay.
We will continue to update the situation and keep the purr love flowing. </span></p><p><span face="Segoe UI Historic, Segoe UI, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="color: #050505;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span><span face=""Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE3Cv7WsmkSB0LztVqQAmBTxVA9JaXGgKky6nvUs_uiUOYOrZ_PMDewbCsYbvIpppPIyJOOLO24GgugKzHh1BldCQrbjESuCA1qvuDdDj_P3-HDRvE0pLPqm7LW34G9DYNblH0jacsKFx_/s4608/DSCN0421.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgE3Cv7WsmkSB0LztVqQAmBTxVA9JaXGgKky6nvUs_uiUOYOrZ_PMDewbCsYbvIpppPIyJOOLO24GgugKzHh1BldCQrbjESuCA1qvuDdDj_P3-HDRvE0pLPqm7LW34G9DYNblH0jacsKFx_/s320/DSCN0421.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Rosegate Furever Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851299373124788514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641902935992234585.post-88472668413348508152021-02-11T13:06:00.001-06:002021-02-11T13:06:42.530-06:00My Dear Human <p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ekOc9ghnh9QXWfhUnC7WAIg5iktADke4h9wndMCP0itBQpPmImVZRrPiSEUg8qEjn_jJjOBSWwiEDHLRL4F3mLy4rpxESY0CoSr9PtBsQ658Xu98LJsLh8zE4WZgyaxFXV89vBqJMDm_/s4608/DSCN0128%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3456" data-original-width="4608" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7ekOc9ghnh9QXWfhUnC7WAIg5iktADke4h9wndMCP0itBQpPmImVZRrPiSEUg8qEjn_jJjOBSWwiEDHLRL4F3mLy4rpxESY0CoSr9PtBsQ658Xu98LJsLh8zE4WZgyaxFXV89vBqJMDm_/w400-h300/DSCN0128%255B1%255D.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">My dear human,</span></p><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">I see that you are crying, for it is my moment to leave.

And why your vet often recommends the Lyme vaccine for dogs.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">But did you also know that it’s one of the most dangerous vaccines you can give your dog?</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Like <a href="https://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/which-dog-vaccines-are-necessary/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0098ce; transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s, background-color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank">other vaccines</a>, the Lyme vaccine can cause allergies, cancer and organ disease.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">And don’t think you’re in the clear if your dog doesn’t show any of these signs the week after he’s vaccinated …</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">… vaccine damage can take months or even years to develop.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">That is why it’s so important for you to understand what the vaccine is before you get it for your dog.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Once you vaccinate for Lyme disease, you can never reverse that decision … or the damage it can cause.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Before you rush to your vet for that Lyme vaccine, read my top 3 reasons why the Lyme vaccine for dogs is risky business …</p><h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 34px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-top: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">#1 – The Lyme Vaccine Can Cause Lyme Disease Symptoms</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Holistic vet Dr Patricia Jordan urges pet owners to avoid the Lyme vaccine for their dogs. She claims the Lyme vaccine is more dangerous than Lyme disease:</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">“There is no justification for taking this serious vaccination risk with our dogs. The Lyme vaccine is all risk and no benefit. There is a high chance of severe adverse events … like a lifetime of non-treatable arthritis pain just for getting the jab in the first place.”</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">And Dr Michael Garvey of the <a href="https://www.amcny.org/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0098ce; transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s, background-color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;">Animal Medical Center</a> agrees. He says dogs can develop Lyme-like symptoms. And it can happen days or even weeks after vaccination.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Dr Jordan also explains that cells in the immune system can react with the antigens in the Lyme vaccine. This causes Lyme nephritis (kidney disease) … which is ironic, because Lyme nephritis is the reason your vet wants to give your dog the vaccine!</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">This is why none of the US veterinary schools list the Lyme vaccine as one of their recommended vaccines.</p><h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 34px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-top: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">#2 – The Lyme Vaccine Contains Dangerous Ingredients</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Kidney disease isn’t the only risk that comes with the Lyme vaccine.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Vaccines carry harmful chemicals and heavy metals like:</p><ul style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px 40px; padding: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">formaldehyde</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">aluminum</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">mercury</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">thimerosal</li></ul><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">You see, vaccines carry live or inactivated viruses. But the amount is so small that the immune system won’t recognize. These chemicals are added to create an exaggerated immune response to the virus.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">And there are two problems with this …</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">1. This type of chaos in the immune system can carry some serious issues. It can cause hypersensitivity disorders. Hypersensitivity is chronic inflammation, which can result in allergies, cancer and organ failure.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">2. Aluminum and thimerosal can travel to the brain and cause inflammation there. If you’ve ever had a reactive or fearful dog, you might not have considered his vaccines as a cause.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Still don’t believe me?</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">There was a human Lyme vaccine called <a href="https://www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com/the-surprising-cause-of-lyme-disease-in-dogs/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0098ce; transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s, background-color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank">LYMErix</a> back in the 90s. 3 years after it went on the market, Smith Kline Beecham withdrew LYMErix amidst a class action suit. The class action suit came from a sea of allegations of adverse effects including:</p><ul style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px 40px; padding: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">suicide</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">deaths</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">arthritis</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">rheumatoid arthritis</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">facial paralysis</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">hypersensitivity reactions</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">myalgia</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">heart disease</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">kidney disease</li><li style="box-sizing: inherit; list-style-type: disc; margin-bottom: 7px;">and more</li></ul><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Most of the patients developed an incurable form of autoimmune arthritis. And that was worse than the arthritis caused by Lyme.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">So if the Lyme vaccine isn’t safe for humans, why would you give it to your dog?</p><h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 34px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-top: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">#3 – Most Dogs Don’t Get Lyme Disease Symptoms … Even When They Have Lyme Disease</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">In 2006, <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16594606" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0098ce; transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s, background-color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;">researchers at the University of Pennsylvania</a> infected beagles with Lyme disease.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">None of the adult dogs showed any signs of Lyme disease … even though they had Lyme disease.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">The only dogs in the group that showed any signs of Lyme disease were the puppies … and after four days of on and off symptoms, every puppy showed no signs of Lyme disease.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">This is likely because puppies have immature immune systems. So while Lyme is common, the disease isn’t.</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">But what about dogs who already test positive for Lyme?</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">Meryl Littman was the lead researcher and explains … “95% of exposed dogs don’t get sick, but they become Lyme antibody-positive on tests, which may scare people into thinking they need to be treated.”</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">In fact, 70% – 90% of dogs in some areas of New England test positive for Lyme. About 40% of dogs in Pennsylvania test positive.</p><h2 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: Poppins, sans-serif; font-size: 34px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-top: 20px;"><span style="box-sizing: inherit; font-weight: 700;">Should You Get The Lyme Vaccine For Your Dog?</span></h2><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">I can’t tell you what to do … although there are a lot of folks who try to …</p><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;">If you visit the <a href="http://www.petsandparasites.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: inherit; color: #0098ce; transition: color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s, background-color 0.2s ease-in-out 0s;" target="_blank">Pets & Parasites website</a>, you’ll see some pretty scary things like this …</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><br />Rosegate Furever Homehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06851299373124788514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641902935992234585.post-30949711052761829372020-08-20T11:26:00.006-05:002020-08-27T05:44:34.853-05:00Pet Portraits by artist Evita Kristapsone<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhukGxNxtJFiHXPbXFsTzQ1qWWTgSeCl-OUMLa1n71Hnobdy9IEVYq7UC6Gr0d6i6HglDNv-ffPESlgCBTk2VoxTA1AEM1Ul10Gun5-331lGDO1SqaejfQeAek5mm3ZV6POeh0no-KUIvlL/s4608/DSCN4187.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2592" data-original-width="4608" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhukGxNxtJFiHXPbXFsTzQ1qWWTgSeCl-OUMLa1n71Hnobdy9IEVYq7UC6Gr0d6i6HglDNv-ffPESlgCBTk2VoxTA1AEM1Ul10Gun5-331lGDO1SqaejfQeAek5mm3ZV6POeh0no-KUIvlL/w512-h288/DSCN4187.JPG" width="512" /></a></div><p></p><p><span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">Due to Covid-19 these precious watercolor paintings were delayed in the transit from all the way from Latvia from artist Evita Kristapsone.

<br />
<br />
It has already been more than two years since Rosegate received 501(c)3 nonprofit status.<br />
In those couple of years we have had quite the learning path with experiences and reality check.<br />
Since we are not a regular rescue, this means that we do not just take in any dog and cat.<br />
We follow strict considerations for what animals are allow to be here and co-habitat with the already established residents.<br />
<br />
We have also discovered that this region has little issue with people abandoning their senior dogs.<br />
All the local shelters here are rarely full and those are usually young. It may be country living or a pervasive attitude with hunting dogs but It seems that people are caring and responsible with their dogs. That farm life has given rise to a feline problem though. Little cared for barn cats that quickly overpopulate their colonies. In an old time attitude to constantly have a cat population to hunt rodents they avoid any selective spaying or neutering.<br />
<br />
We had some semi-feral barn cats wander into our life and they were suffering from multiple parasitic infestations. These adventurous foundlings that came to us on their own accord were young but we could not turn them around.<br />
<br />
Soon or later we will have to consider either changing the name from Rosegate Retirement Home for Dogs and Cats to something more representative of the environment we produce for those in our care. Not just a new name but re-brand our character and mission. We could also just dissolve this organization officially as a business but keep doing what we have been.<br />
<br />
The name is too long. We are not providing a home for just senior animals and there are not many senior street dogs out here. A final consideration is that we do not wish to feel pressured by peoples thoughts on how we should be going about this project. We will probably always have family dog(s) but we will not going to specialize or focusing solely on that aspect. Me, personally, I would love to rescue only orange cats. They seem to hold a special spot in my heart. :)<br />
<br />
Rosie, Crosby and GiGi taught us some important lessons and tested our patience.<br />
Through their love we came to realize that we can not fulfill all the ways these lost dogs need to be whole again. Yes we tried with all our hearts and that is why saved and spent lots of money and resources for the creation of Rosegate.<br />
<br />
As we get older it seems our resource or energy will lessen and thus we are considering a closure of the organization. Another option is to simply down scale and remove any business side of Rosegate. We will always be providing a home to those we can and keeping a private or personal social media page for those who have become friends of Rosegate. To those that will come, purr and conquer their way into our hearts, our door is always open.<br />
<br />
To those kind souls who have become our friends of furry critter, thank you and please stay.<br />
We will continue to update the situation and keep the purr love flowing.<br />

<span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">GiGi came to us three years ago from Grant County Humane Society, Elbow Lake, Minnesota.</span><br />
<span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">She had Lyme disease but she was a happy doggie.</span><br />
<span face="" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21;">We had good times together and she loved all the cats here too. Her favorite things was rolling in the fresh grass or fresh fluffy snow. We loved our walks together and I loved her soothing snoring when she was sleeping.</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show" face="" style="background-color: white; color: #1c1e21; display: inline;"><br />Unfortunately, about two weeks ago she started to have accidents in the house, mostly on her bed during the night. She would be asleep and just poop. She seemed to get lost in the yard and disoriented. She also did not like to go out in the dark early mornings anymore. Soon after we suspected that her eyes sight had gotten worse. She still felt safe walking close near me. The cats knew that something was wrong.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Crosby was our daughter Susan's dog but he often visited us here in the countryside. Susan adopted him from a pound in the state of Washington. The poor thing had an emotional disorder (Separation Anxiety) so sometimes he was destroying things in their apartment and not just objects but even the carpets. Barking all the time without rest when he was alone and generally driving himself to such stressful states it was unhealthy for him too. </span></span></span><br />

There was times when she was ready to find a new home for him but it never happened because somehow they bonded as kindred spirits. So he stayed with her and she always hoped he would mellow with time. </span></span></span><br />

When Susan ended the relationship with her boyfriend, we asked her to move closer to us. We felt she needed a big change and a new place with family near her would do nicely. She was a bit apprehensive but took the leap of faith and even went back to school for a new career path. She bought a small house and started her online college for 2 years. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Crosby and her loved to visit us on our </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">peaceful</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> property out on the country, where Crosby was happy and free running like a puppy again. At the time we had Rosie and they became good puppy friends. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Since they lived seven miles away from us, they would visit frequently. As we grew close and had the opportunity to notice that Crosby's hearing and eyesight was getting weak. Soon after that he started pacing incessantly until he got tired and fell into sleep. His anxiety which had lessened as the years went by started to come back. Not separation but something else. Then his joints were creaking more and more as stiffness set on. Arthritis was surely present too. His happy running got slower in the big yard. </span></span></span><br />

Susan took him to the vet and they said he was just getting older. He started to drink a lot of water and was having accidents in the house. The poor old puppy was just wearing out.
One morning she had that feeling and sent me a text message saying; Mom, I think it's time. She sent me a video how Crosby walked around and around in tight circles. His doggie dementia had gotten much worse in a short space of time. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> She made an appointment for Crosby's peaceful passing. </span><br />

It was a busy August day. We had a big garden work day, I was working on the riding mower while my husband worked the push mower and weed wacker. After the yard looked clean and neat, we planned to watch a movie or two. It was about six in the evening. I saw the cats had been watching something quietly in the yard from their cat tower and then I heard a meow under our window. I went to the window and I saw this tiny black kitten. She came under the kitchen windows and she looked up at me, crying. Her age could not have been any older than six weeks. She must have been hungry because she was demanding help or food from a strange place.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
I went outside and at first she was scared, but then easily came to me. My husband came out too and he already hugged her and kissing her. He always does this without knowing or caring if the cats is sick or not (He says he wants to make them feel part of the family without stigmatizing them.) I bought her a can of cat food and the poor thing ate like she had never seen food before. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">She was purring and eating at the same time. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> We kept her in the isolation room and the next few days took her to the vet. She was only one and a half pounds! The boys adopted her right away after she was released from isolation and spoiled her rotten. They trained her to steal food from the other girls and they groomed her like they were her real parents. She sucked up the love like a black hole. </span></span></span><br />

It must be the black cat in her. Auggie is the little princess of the palace and the kingdom is all hers.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Those of you who followed Tommy's health condition 3-4 years ago on the Animal Communicators Group in Facebook, know why and how this little ginger boy came into our life.
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Secretly I had hoped that Tommy will come back into our life as a ginger kitten. I was desperate to have him back and was looking for signs everywhere that can lead me to him in his new vassel. I needed to ease my pain from my grief. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> I found feathers that held meaning, heart shaped kitten food in the snow outside (where there should be none) and little </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">anomalous</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> quirks that I hoped </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">were</span> <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">just</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> that, signs of my desire. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Tommy died on January 28th and on March 29th I was outside tending to Rosie's and Tommy's graves when all a sudden this little pile of leaves had this beautiful spiralling dance around me. It was a whirling little caress of dead leaves come to life all around me.There was no wind nor breeze out there. My husband had just come outside and he saw this little </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">whirlwind</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">I was smiling and told him, "That's my Boy!" At that time I did not yet know but a little ginger was born and was about to make me aware of his arrival. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"> He was in the Brown County Humane Society, New Ulm, MN 125 miles away from us. I was checking in at all the shelters and rescues online. A stray momma cat called 'Goat' with her six kittens were just born that day and there were three orange kittens (all boys) in the litter. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">My heart was beating so hard with excitement as I followed the Humane Society's posts, watching the photos of how these kittens grew. I contacted the worker there and told her that I need one ginger kitten and we will going to see them. She was asking, do I want the one with a white back legs? I said, wow, how did you know that? </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Two weeks after their birth we arrived to the shelter and she was surprised but thankful that we came all that way to see 'Goat' and her litter of delightful little puff balls. I had a chance to hold the kitten, snuggle with him and I was in love. Though the future little K</span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">ā</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">hili </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">took most of my attention and heart. He had peed in his travel kennel and that too was adorable to me. :) </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We paid the adoption fee and filed out the </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">paperwork</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. We would still need to </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">wait</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> a while for them to reach an age they could be </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">weaned</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> and then </span></span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">separated</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> from 'Goat'. </span></span></span></div>

Nose Pad Cancer (Squamous Cell Carcinoma) in Cats is a <span class="glossify_term hovertip_target" hovertip="malignant">malignant</span> tumor of the squamous epithelial cells. In this case, it is a tumor of the nasal planum or the tissues in the nose pad.<br />
<br />
“At first, a skin lesion will appear to be fairly benign, looking like a little scab or maybe a small scratch, and over time it may flake off and the cat’s skin will look normal.<br />
But eventually — perhaps months or a year later — it will reappear.”<br />
Several treatment options are available for lesions that are diagnosed at an early stage,<br />
notes Dr. McEntee. “We can perform surgical removal of the affected portion of a cat’s nose or ears,” she says. “And multiple facial lesions that are less than approximately two millimeters deep can be treated successfully with radiation therapy. Some veterinarians use cryotherapy, which will destroy a lesion by freezing it. And in some cases, directly injecting chemotherapeutic substances into the tumor may be useful. For SCC in the mouth, a combination of surgery and radiation therapy may be successful and result in long-term control, but only if the cancer is detected at an early stage.</div>

However, says Dr. McEntee, when an SCC lesion is more advanced, “We may not be able to control it. We can attempt to do so with a full course of radiation, which will require more than three weeks of treatment. But even this aggressive approach isn’t likely to be successful once the tumor has progressed and has spread internally. This is why it is so important for owners to spot these lesions at an early stage, when a tumor is still very treatable.”<br />

To recognize Squamous Cell Carcinoma early, you have to make sure that the surface wound did not go deeper than 2mm (millimeter). It could already too late if wound goes deeper. :(</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ever wonder what a heartworm positive dogs heart can look like? </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is why we are so adamant about heartworm prevention, especially in the spring and summer months when the mosquitos are out. A heart like this cannot function properly. Heartworms are deadly!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Heartwo<span style="font-family: inherit;">rm disease </span>is a serious disease that results in severe lung disease, heart failure, other organ damage, and death in pets, mainly dogs, cats, and ferrets. It is caused by a parasitic worm called <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Dirofilaria immitis.</em>The worms are spread through the bite of a mosquito. The dog is the definitive host, meaning that the worms mature into adults, mate, and produce offspring while living inside a dog. The mosquito is the intermediate host, meaning that the worms live inside a mosquito for a short transition period in order to become infective (able to cause heartworm disease). The worms are called “heartworms” because the adults live in the heart, lungs, and associated blood vessels of an infected animal. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 45rem;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In the United States, heartworm disease is most common along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from the Gulf of Mexico to New Jersey and along the Mississippi River and its major tributaries, but it has been reported in dogs in all 50 states. </span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">In an infected dog, adult female heartworms release their offspring, called microfilariae, into the dog’s bloodstream. When a mosquito bites the infected dog, the mosquito becomes infected with the microfilariae. Over the next 10 to 14 days and under the right environmental conditions, the microfilariae become infective larvae while living inside the mosquito. Microfilariae must pass through a mosquito to become infective larvae. When the infected mosquito bites another dog, the mosquito spreads the infective larvae to the dog through the bite wound. In the newly infected dog, it takes about 6 to 7 months for the infective larvae to mature into adult heartworms. The adult heartworms mate and the females release their offspring into the dog’s bloodstream, completing the </span><span style="color: #333333;">life cycle</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 45rem;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Heartworm disease is not contagious, meaning that a dog cannot catch the disease from being near an infected dog. Heartworm disease is only spread through the bite of a mosquito.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 45rem;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Inside a dog, a </span><span style="color: #333333;">heartworm</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;"> lifespan is 5 to 7 years. Adult heartworms look like strands of cooked spaghetti, with males reaching about 4 to 6 inches in length and females reaching about 10 to 12 inches in length. The number of worms living inside an infected dog is called the worm burden. The average worm burden in dogs is 15 worms, but that number can range from 1 to 250 worms.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , "times"; font-size: 1.125rem;"> </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Can Cats Get Heartworm Disease?<br />Is Heartworm Disease Different in Cats?</span></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 45rem; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Cats can also get heartworms after being bitten by an infected mosquito, although they are not as susceptible to infection as dogs. A cat is not a natural host of heartworms because the worms do not thrive as well inside a cat’s body. Both indoor and outdoor cats are at risk for heartworm disease.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 45rem; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Heartworm disease in cats is a bit different than in dogs. Heartworms in cats do not live as long (average lifespan is only 2 to 4 years) or grow as long, and fewer of them mature into adults. Worm burdens are lower in cats than dogs. Usually a cat has only one or two worms. However, due to its relatively small body size, a cat with only a few worms is still considered to be heavily infected.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 45rem; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In cats, it takes 7 to 8 months for infective larvae to mature into adult heartworms and produce microfilariae. This is about one month longer than in dogs. The presence of microfilariae in a cat’s bloodstream is uncommon. Only 20 percent of cats with heartworm disease have microfilariae in the bloodstream, compared to 80 to 90 percent of dogs with heartworm disease. Also, the presence of microfilariae in the bloodstream is inconsistent and short-lived in cats. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 45rem; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It is harder to detect heartworm infections in cats than in dogs. Veterinarians generally use two types of blood tests in combination to check a cat for heartworms. However, negative test results do not rule out heartworm infection, and positive test results may or may not mean that there is an active heartworm infection. A veterinarian uses the results of both blood tests, along with the cat’s symptoms and the results of other tests such as x-rays and an ultrasound of the heart, to determine if a cat has heartworm disease.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; letter-spacing: 0.5px; line-height: 1.25; margin: 20px auto 1rem; max-width: 45rem; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Again, Prevention is the Best Treatment!</b></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 45rem; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Several products are FDA-approved to prevent heartworms in cats. There are both topical and oral products for cats, and all are given monthly and require a veterinarian’s prescription. Some heartworm preventives contain other ingredients that are effective against certain intestinal worms (such as roundworms and hookworms) and other parasites (such as fleas, ticks, and ear mites).</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 45rem; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Again, year-round prevention is best! Talk to your cat’s veterinarian to decide which preventive is best for your cats.</span></div>

Besides the obvious value of a good snuggle, what’s the connection between pets and our health? Studies have shown pet ownership may help increase fitness levels, relieve stress, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and boost overall happiness and well-being. Pets also provide social support, which is an important factor in helping you stick with new healthy habits.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222328; font-family: Montserrat, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
It’s no surprise that people who walk their dogs are more likely to get the recommended amount of physical activity than those who don’t. One study found that pet owners who walk their dogs got up to 30 minutes more exercise a day than non-walkers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222328; font-family: Montserrat, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Try these tips for being active together:</span></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222328; font-family: Montserrat, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 2.25rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem;">

<ul style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222328; font-family: Montserrat, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Go on a picnic.</span> Pack some <a href="https://www.heart.org/en/healthy-living/healthy-eating/add-color/healthy-snacking" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #334cd5; text-decoration-line: none;">healthy snacks</a> such as fruit, veggies, mixed nuts and plenty of water (including a bowl for the pup). Bring a ball or other fun toys.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Cool off in the sprinklers.</span> When it’s hot, grab swimsuits and sunscreen and run around in the cooling spray with your kids and pooch.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Take a dip.</span> If you live near a dog-friendly beach, lake or pool, jump in!</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Go for a walk.</span> Participate in local fundraising walks (like the Heart Walk) or fun runs with the whole family. Check to make sure dogs are allowed. You’ll be getting active together while supporting a great cause.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Park it.</span> If your dog plays well with others, hit up the local dog park.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Play ball.</span> Head outside anytime to enjoy some fresh air and a quick game of fetch or keep-away. Even if you only have 10 or 15 minutes, you and your dog will get some exercise and bonding time.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box;">Walk home from school. Dogs and kids will be excited to see each other after a long day apart, and the trip home gets a lot more fun.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222328; font-family: Montserrat, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem;">
Your dog — and your heart — will thank you!<span class="h3" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.5rem; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 1rem; margin-top: 1rem;"></span></h3>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222328; font-family: Montserrat, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
Welcoming a dog into the family is a big decision with big responsibilities — and many wonderful benefits. And if you end up getting more active with your new loving companion, it’s a win-win.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222328; font-family: Montserrat, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 1.5rem;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;">Bottom line: Being more active and less stressed can help you live a longer, healthier life with your pet.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #666666; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Ever since our senior dog Rosie passed, we had our eyes on the neighbors property that has three suitable buildings on two acres so as to create Rosegate Retirement Home for Dogs and Cats. </span></span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;">We had been excited about creating something good and big enough that it would give a home for a couple dozen dogs and many more cats. </span></div>
<div style="color: black; float: left; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: 16px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="entryDesc alignContCenter" id="entryDesc_3267938" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; float: none; font-family: AvenirNextLTPro-Regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px 0px 10px 11.75px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 11.75px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 540.953px;">
We saved our money, opened up some donation pages, got the 501(c)3 status and even an old friend told us that she will help us out with a big chunk of money which didn't happened either. Only the owner of that property, an old farmer who didn't seem like he cared anything about this dream. We tried to get closer by being friendly with him and see if he had any interest but he was only going to talk about farming; corn, soy and spraying said crops. Some complaining about the industry and equipment but no other topics held his considerations. :(</div>
<div class="entryDesc alignContCenter" id="entryDesc_3267938" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; float: none; font-family: AvenirNextLTPro-Regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px 0px 10px 11.75px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 11.75px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 540.953px;">
With all these false hopes, the dream was shattered and slipping away. Well, at least the big part of it. Maybe he will never sell his property to us or he could live longer than us but there's no time to waste. So we decided to stop dreaming and start doing. that would mean a much more limited space but one paw in front of the other is our motto. We installed a full perimeter fence on our own three acres of property.</div>
<div class="entryDesc alignContCenter" id="entryDesc_3267938" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; float: none; font-family: AvenirNextLTPro-Regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px 0px 10px 11.75px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 11.75px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 540.953px;">
Not only do we have to make sure that all the animals can get along due to the Rosegate model of "comfy couches and not cages" but we also have to share our living space with them and thus, keep our own sanity. :) This has unfortunately led to refusing a few potential residents due to this reason. Thus we keep it small and give them a quality of life instead of hoarding them like merchandise in a warehouse.</div>
<div class="entryDesc alignContCenter" id="entryDesc_3267938" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; float: none; font-family: AvenirNextLTPro-Regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px 0px 10px 11.75px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 11.75px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 540.953px;">
We are still hoping that we can inspire some people to do likewise and every home helps those wayward furry friends to find a home. If they have some property and the desire to give senior pets a forever home, that is all that is required.
Big or small, dreams will fill the vessel they are dreamt in... and helping those in need is a precious feeling that expands beyond those limits. </div>
<div class="entryDesc alignContCenter" id="entryDesc_3267938" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #666666; float: none; font-family: AvenirNextLTPro-Regular; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.3; margin: 0px 0px 10px 11.75px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 11.75px; white-space: pre-wrap; width: 540.953px;">
As silly as it seems, we also have a more distant dream, that If enough funds would come our way we could still be able to create a physical facility working with The Humane Society for both Big Stone County and Swift County. I guess that one breaks the vessel but this is the way of dreams.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"> In August 2018 I was gardening in the pollinator garden, digging a hole for a new flowering shrub. I got a few minutes break and was stretching my back when I felt sad again about Tommy. He was my best Ginger cat who had lost his battle with cancer just a little more than a year ago. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">I looked up at the sky and was asking out loud; "Where are you Tommy?" Since I have always believed in signs of a Spirit, I was hoping that one day I would get a message from him. As soon as I was ready to continue to dig a little deeper I heard a gentle meow.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> I could not believed what I was seeing and had to blink. There was a skinny white-ginger cat just a few feet away, continuing this gentle greeting. At first he was shy but that only lasted for few minutes. He came closer to me, rubbed himself against my legs and looked into my eyes with a happy little hope. It was immediately obvious that he was a mature male cat. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> My excitement grew and I went towards the house to let my husband know we had a new arrival. I</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"> asked him to bring out a can of cat food as I kept asking the kitty; Where you came from? Who are you? He answered: Mau. I asked him is that your name Mau? He said Mau. haha. That sounded silly but for me it was such a gentle and loving introduction. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;">Mr. Mau finished two cans of food in the first five to ten minutes. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Hubby stayed outside with us and he already adopted Mau. He held him, hugged him and kissed him. That was the moment I saw some worms just "jump" out from his little butt. I gave him dewormer immediately as well as sending my husband to our local vet to get something a bit more extensive since I had seen at least two or three different kinds of worms in him. The poor thing was so infested with parasitic worms that his anus and surrounding area was swollen. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; white-space: pre-wrap;"> We let Mau get used to us before attempting to bring him inside. We kept the garage door open for him at night time as well as the truck windows. We caught him sleeping inside of the truck many times, especially during heavy rain and storms. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "segoe ui" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> One morning I saw him eating rodents and then a roadside squirrel. I told myself THAT's IT! No more disgusting food for him. I was upset that his continued wild diet would negate the dewormer and keep him in a cycle of infestation and then dewormer medicines. Since he was so nice and kind he let me to trim his claws and took him inside the shower. I gave him shower and we provided him an isolation room upstairs. </span></span></span><br />

In the meanwhile we scheduled an appointment with the vet and started a Fundraiser for him. Through the kind donations of his new fans, more than enough for his first veterinary appointment and neuter operation was achieved. Mr. Mau was isolated for four weeks until he was cleared from worms, parasites and ear mites. Don't worry that we left him all alone. Hubby stayed with him all that time and they made friends.</span></span></span><br />

I took him outside with a harness so he was easier to adjust to his new life. It did not take too long for him to get used to the clean, warm house with food, treats and other pets. He easily made friends with Kahili, the only other male cat here. They have became best buddies, but Mr. Mau is such a gentle cat, that he friends with all the pets here.</span></span></span><br />

One year after we rescued him, a tiny black kitten (Augustina) found us as well. Mr. Mau loved this tiny kitten as well and they became friends. One day I caught Mau and Augustina on the window bed looking outside and he had one paw hugging her. Probably he was just telling the story to her of how he had arrived here and was now fat and happy and that she had come to the right house. </span></span></span><br />
