TAZ - ID. hashtag#A757334 (M) Estimated Age 5 YEARS, BLACK/WHITE, LABRADOR RETRIEVER/BLEND DOG. Weight LARGE LBS 

Heartworm Test: NO TEST 
Heartworm Smear: NO TEST 

Days At Shelter: 6

Evaluation Notes:
5/23/25
Dog is laying down upon approach and sits up for offered treats with a tense body, wide eyes and a tucked tail. He retreats away from me as I enter kennel with a tense, trembling body, wide eyes and a tucked tail. He continued to take treats offered to him on ground and by hand with same body language. He allows me to pet him as I offer him treats with same body language. He is able to be leashed and walked outside by walking behind him. Once outside he freezes outside of building where he is hyper-vigilant and sniff the air with a tense, trembling body, wide eyes and a tucked tail. After a few moments, he turns around and stands at the door seemingly interested to return to kennel. He is easy to return to kennel. Behavior due to environment and/or under-socialization.

Play Group:
5/25/25
Dog was fearful upon approach with tucked ears and tense body. He was able to be leashed and carried outside into the yard. He laid down in the yard near handlers with a tense body and tucked tail and allowed other dogs to greet him. He was most interested in staying near handlers watching the other dogs play. Behavior possibly due to undersocialization.

Vet Exam Notes:
5/22/25
Pt on vet exam list for pale gums and ticks
QAR, very nervous and cowering in corner of kennel, some fleas and ticks observed, light pink mm, ambulatory. Provecta to be applied for flea & tick treatment and prevention during work-up, continue monitoring

Generations of lawyers and judges, on both sides of the aisle, have been infected with a parasitical ideology that denies reason and common sense, causing irreparable damage to our judicial system.
This is why a putatively "conservative" Supreme Court so often fails to uphold the most basic principles of constitutional governance. Nations require borders in order to preserve national sovereignty, define citizenship, and allocate rights.
That 7 members, including 3 appointed by President Trump in his last administration no less, would choose to willfully ignore that most basic precept of national sovereignty, demonstrates that the Supreme Court would rather actively participate in America's ruination, rather than work alongside the duly elected president to help reestablish the RULE OF LAW.
This is why the ongoing efforts to hold elite universities, law firms, and law schools accountable by the Trump administration is so vitally important.The calluel mour fuulelat oyotell beg ho wil the
poison taught by these institutions, which has infected even so-called conservative lawyers and judges with the same anti-Constitutional, anti-American, immoral ideologies over decades and decades.
Law must be moderated by the virtues, including individual responsibility and wisdom. Its practitioners must have mastery over these virtues in order to properly execute the laws for a free and self governing people.
That imperative was long ago abandoned by our educat onal institutions. The judges in law courts today, including the majority in the nation's Highest Court, telegraph with these decisions that they have no understanding of law and its proper function and role.
President Trump is the first leader who has actually meaningfully attempted to reverse this destructive trajectory, and done so with the gravitas of executive power that will be sure to have a lasting impact for years to come.

Digital painting of a dimly lit night scene of a man wielding a sickle. He stands next to a deer as if in mid conversation with it. You have just interrupted. ‘You ain’t supposed to be out after dark’ he says calmly. The eyes of the man and the deer shine white like headlights as they lock on youDigital drawing in black, white and red. A skull headed deer stands proudly on a rock at the base of a hill. Its mouth gapes and smoke envelopes its head, billowing above it. Behind the deer is a raging forest fire. Flames climb the barren trees. Digital painting of a mutated doe in tall sunny grass. Its expression looks Innocent and alarming. A second head is pushing out from the side of its face giving the animal an extra mouth, eye, antler, and ear. Blood is pooling in both its nostrils and  it has an open wound where the extra face came from. Small blue followers speckle the grass surrounding the figureDigital painting of a couple in a darkly lit room with a burning fire place. A man with face that has been stripped of its flesh is grabbing his partner from behind possessively. The woman is holding on his arm and has a nondescript expression on her face and she looks back at him.
