Weird news:
In Oviedo, Florida, a work crew discovered a 5-foot alligator residing in a sludge-filled pipe during a routine pothole inspection. The shocking encounter was captured on video and has garnered attention on social media. The workers initially mistook the alligator for a toad until they saw its glowing eyes. While the discovery may seem like a Florida version of the "alligators in the sewer" urban legend associated with New York City, it's not uncommon for alligators to be found in storm runoff networks in Florida. The article also mentions previous incidents of alligators appearing unexpectedly in places like New York City parks and Prospect Park Lake in Brooklyn...........This from Ny post

From What's Happening in Paulding County Facebook Page:
An anonymous member posted “Last night we lost our Australian Shepherd, Lulu to an unbelievable seizure. When the seizure started and we recognized after a minute or so that this was not a typical one for her (she had a history is seizures) we immediately started loading her up to get her to the emergency vet closest to us which is Westside Animal Emergency. They turned us away. Despite us having a dog actively seizing non-stop they turned us away saying they were “at capacity” and too busy. By this time the seizure was into the 20 minute mark.
Our only choice at this point was to drive another 30-40 minutes away to Blue Pearl in Marietta. I called them and let them know we were coming and how long at that time the seizure had been going.
We got there and they rushed out the door to help us. Within a minute or so we were with the vet telling us the seizure had gone on so long that it had raised Lulu’s body temperature to at least 109 because that is as high as the thermometer would go. Her seizing for almost an hour caused the temperature spike. At this point the vet felt while they could try to stabilize her and see if there was permanent brain damage but I knew the chances of Lulu making any meaningful recovery were almost non-existent. A fever that high plus the seizure made recovery impossible so we had to make the best choice for Lulu and let her be at peace.
I say all of that to say, IF Westside EMERGENCY Animal clinic had done their job and taken in a true EMERGENCY within the first minutes of the seizure, I wonder would we still have Lulu with us today? Instead, we came home to an empty bed that was Lulu’s. Her doggie siblings are looking for her. Her human sister, dad and I are just heartbroken without our sweet pup.
I have nothing positive to say about Westside. We have never heard anything good about them and now I know why. I attempted to use them only because they were closest to us and time was critical. I even called our vet today and told them how we were treated. If you live in our area and ever need an animal ER, go anywhere but Westside.
The staff at Blue Pearl was amazing, loving and loved on Lulu with us as she was passing. They petted her, stroked her paws and talked to her right along with us. They are what a true animal ER should be and I am so grateful they were there and willing despite how busy they were.”
These are your responses from actual Paulding county citizens - as reported on Whats Happening Paulding County
Kacie Ignacio from Dallas “This is horrendous… I am SO SORRY for your loss. “
Lynn Tyler Nemzer from Dallas “I’m so sorry 🪽. We had similar experiences with both vets.”
Sarah Elizabeth Guest from Bremen “This is so wrong. I worked as a vet tech many years ago & we would have never turned away any emergency and at the time, it really was unheard of for any vet to do so either. In the last 10 years or so it has changed so drastically. I’m so sorry for your loss and how you were treated. This should not have happened “
Craig B. Nordeman from Acworth “Im so sorry you lost your sweet girl.. we too had a similar experience with our Belgian Shepherd.. only it was Blue Pearl who treated our baby poorly.. and we lost her too”

A Chick-fil-A employee named Mia is being hailed as a hero for saving a Newnan mother's daughter from choking.

Mia performed the Heimlich maneuver on Theia, and a coin that had caused the choking incident was dislodged. Liliana expressed her gratitude on Instagram, emphasizing the importance of Chick-fil-A's first aid training for its employees.
