A Coast Guard rescue swimmer credited with saving 165 people during the deadly July 4 flooding in the Texas Hill Country was awarded the Legion of Merit for "extraordinary heroism" during President Trump's State of the Union address.

In a moment that brought the House chamber to its feet, President Trump said Petty Officer Scott Ruskan was reunited for the first time with an 11-year-old girl he saved.

BEFORE AND AFTER - in October, we were able to contain three red fox siblings suffering from mange. Two brothers and a sister. The sister was the last one we were able to contain and, unfortunately, was too far gone.

All three foxes had mange and their blood had significant difficulty clotting. The only way to confirm rat poison, definitely, is through a necropsy and a test of the liver. Since their sister had passed, we were able to have her tested and we can confirm that she did have a rat poison named, Bromadiolone, in her system.

Though we weren’t able to save her, with 6 weeks of treatment, we were able to save her brothers. Here is a before and after of Oscar. The first picture the day he came in and the last picture taken this morning.

The top picture isn’t just what mange looks like. It’s what rat poison looks like in a fox too.

In wildlife rehab, we mourn the losses and we are recharged by the wins.

Though, the real win will be when people stop using this stuff….

Till then, this beautiful fox will warm my soul and keep me fighting for what’s right.

We gained an operator this weekend! Rhiannon ran the grain cart some last harvest, but yesterday, she moved up to the semi-pro level as she worked alongside her brother, who was in the combine. I hope they can continue this more often, I'm a pretty proud Dad!!
