Years ago, I lived on the east side of Mt. Tamalpais in Mill Valley, California, and some raccoons kept getting into the trash. One day, my roommate got tired of it and came up with a plan to stop them He took 3 bungee cords and tightly secured them across the top of the lid. We saw the raccoons circling the can, obviously preparing to accept their defeat and move on. What we saw next shocked us... One raccoon climbed to the top of the garbage can and grasped the edge of the lid with its claws. The other two got on opposite sides at the bottom of the can and proceeded to rock the can back and forth. Soon, they had built up enough momentum that the can was about to tip, and as it began to fall, the raccoon on the top of it repositioned itself so that its claws were latched on the side of the lid away from where it would strike the ground. As soon as it hit the raccoon used the momentum to pull the lid off, and they all climbed inside and looked for their dinner. My roommate and I impressed, looked at each other, and at the same time said, "They earned it!" We let the raccoons eat to their heart's content, then cleaned up the mess in the morning. I would have offered the raccoons some beers to go with it, but I heard that they don't like Moretti... 🤣🤣🤣 Business requires creative solutions, and often for problems that we never foresaw. And raccoons are some of the more creative, and resourceful animals that you'll ever see. What raccoon stories have you seen in your life or business? #humanresources #innovation #creativity #employeebenefits

It is senior cat month this month. Our golden oldies are just that, golden. Here are some ways you can make their lives even better (if you're not already).  Have some ramps or stairs up to the sofa so they can access them easily.Invest in some raised food bowls so they don't have to crick their neck. Avoid blankets with gaps in as they may get their claws caught in them.  Have non slip mats so they are not skidding on floors. Get a very low litter tray so they can easily access the tray. If they go outside have a little step down from the cat flap so they don't have to crick their joints.  Talk to your vet about palatable food options. Is there anything you would add? #Cats #SeniorCats

Hello friends family and acquaintances today is COW APPRECIATION DAY | Second Tuesday in July! Have you herd? Things go udderly awry in the middle of July each year during Cow Appreciation Day. People dress like bovines for free food. It's a moo-ving experience to witness designed to save the lives of cows everywhere for just one day. How? By eating chicken instead, that's how. Across the country, for one day only, adults and children alike herd into their local Chick-fil-A for their favorite cow meal. And it's not hay. #CowAppreciationDay Across the country, for one day only, adults and children alike herd into their local Chick-fil-A for their favorite cow meal. And it's not hay. Spotted cowls of black and white hoof it across town. Between baseball and soccer, they steer themselves toward the nearest grazing. If it feels like deja-moo, perhaps you've joined in the stampede a time or two. They arrive in cars, trucks, and even cow-a-sakies. Even though the crowds grow and grow, there's never any need to beef up security. While some of us may be outstanding in our fields, we should get a mooove on before it's pasture time to get free food. Even the dairies across the country have joined the herd. They remind everyone of the good products cows and producers bring our way. It's a positive way of milking a celebration and utilizing both sides of the hide. #CowAppreciationDay #dallasharristips
