Like any dog they need to know their position in the pack , once they do I've found them to be calm confident dogs. Poppy is an excellent family dog and I'm sure your daughters dog will be the same

Hey @jmmoss.bsky.social do you have advice about Golden Retriever puppies?! I know you have experience with them 🐾.
My daughter just got one (“Penny”) a few weeks ago - very sweet! (My experience has been with German Shepherds and Border Collies).

Hope all is well with you 🙋🏻‍♀️

1/ Respiratory protection (including respirators)

The Canadian Standards Association (CSA) has released CSA Z94.4, a draft revision of its standard on respirators and respiratory protection.

For the first time they are including healthcare settings in the new draft standard.

And one way to reduce such exposure .....

#CRBox w/ Clean Air Delivery rates greater than nearly all commercial HEPA air cleaners (both at high flow) for wildfire particles @ 1/3rd to 1/7th the initial cost and generally lower filter replacement cost. IT;s not rocket science, folks, and it works!

With everything happening in the US right now, how safe are scientific conferences for foreign participants in the US? I think this is something we have to discuss as a scientific community. I am hesitating to register for US meetings due to the unpredictable situation. Others who feel the same?

Trump isn't just a threat to our economy he is threat to democracies everywhere.
Under his reign, we can no longer trust the USA.
Shop local, buy Canadian.
The resistance starts at the grassroots.
We have kick ass beer, kick ass coffee and kick ass people.
