Mercury In The Houses: Mental Space

Mercury In The First House: A rams Mind 

(Zella Day - Mustang Kids Feat. Baby E)

The mind is quick, but can be lacking in future thought. the tendency to think of the situation as it is rather than what it could become is very present. The idea of “now” rules the head space which can cause a few short comings when it comes to planning. The “gun ho” perspective they have on their environment and those they interact with can be limitless in its potential but slightly limited in its afterthought. The mind is often the first thing people notice about these natives, That can be their mischievous nature, alert eyes, or their tiny squinted features. Smaller facial features and or eyes can be indicated by this placement of mercury. Their is a crude and rather overtly blunt nature to these natives but its very genuine and simplistic in its meaning that makes these natives very honest people at heart. mercury here can create pixie like features.

Mercury In The Second House: The Stubborn Mind

(Nav - Know Me) 

The point A and B of matters is usually on their mind. very rarely will you catch them entertaining small chit chat as they prefer conversations with substance. They can have a melodic or rather pace by pace manner of speaking. The neck in some ways can be long or fragile. because of their easy link of sensory information and mental connectivity they are able to collect and store crucial facts and intel rather easily. That being said they’re a bit slower when It comes to learning and require a more hands on or physical manner of being taught as it means far more to their brains to have palpable information. They take time to make decisions and aren't the types to jump down the rabbit hole without “feeling” everything out first. Much like animals they can sense energy and vibes via smells, skin touch or even just their own hairs raising. The mind here is living off the 5 senses in such a way it creates its own 6th sense. These natives much like their Eighth house counterparts tend to love the lyrical aspects of rap, most can enjoy the sultry songs or something that embraces low sax and bass. for them the more sensual their realm the more of their mind they feel like sharing. make no mistake though, these natives are extremely independent minded and loathe anyone who doesn’t respect a stance they’ve chosen to take. It’s not so much a “my way or the high way” energy but rather a “you can feel that way, but don’t overstep”

Mercury In The Third House: The Scattered Mind 

(Jacques Greene - Unreleased; Night Service Feat. Cadence weapon)

Mercury is often elated to be here, but for the native with the placement it can feel like mental gymnastics as every brain cell plays the audience. The mind in more understood terms is multifaceted. It has as many heads as the hydra and as many layers and intricate colors as the stars in the sky. The curse is that as vast as the mind is, it lacks grounding here. These natives can often hear audio from seemingly nothingness. a certain type of premonition like wavelength inhabits their mind subtly. The high vibrational effect of this placement can cause shifts and sudden thought burst sometimes causing the native themselves to write off some of their more outlandish celestial call back as either being too good to be true or rather too crazy to follow. Reading the intentions and emotional states of others is easy for these natives, this makes them great performers and chameleons when It comes to playing a “role.” but the draw back is that figuring out their own thoughts and feelings is a constant and ongoing journey for these natives. They can compact and isolate feelings and sensations which can make their speech and mannerisms seem “distant” or far away in a sense to strangers and even to those who know them. The mind is immensely adaptable allowing them to devour information quickly and use it just as fast. keep in mind the third house is half of the ninth house so despite their fast mind they can sometimes only scratch the surface of topics never digging deeply enough to make use out of it. Mercury here can make the arms fragile and a bit on the smaller side. Bodybuilders with this placement tend to get rather lean arms as opposed to bulky ones unless another planet rest in this house. This placement tends to create individuals with escape rooms from aspects of their personality, especially the darker sides which is why they can seem like different people at different moments and sometimes all at once.

Mercury In The Fourth House: The Quiet Mind

(Drake - Light up) 

The mind here is rather sentimental at heart but can be rather overwhelmed with the psychic call back it receives from its surroundings. The tendency to become recluse or silent is mostly a response to the draining aspects of relating to others in a superficial environment. Mercury being so close to “home” makes these individuals crave authentic and deep relations with others. sometimes they can convey mountains of truths and pains in one symbolic phrase or sentence, while other moments they are unable to convey the deep intensity of their feelings into something as trivial as words. It can be quite suffocating and even heavy when these natives fall into one of their moods as being so heavily run by their heart they can often cause them to fly in-between moods, thoughts and feelings just as quickly. people around them can feel on edge or a bit unknowing when it comes to the feelings and desires of these natives due to how constantly they fluctuate. Outlets like music and poetry are very healthy ways for them to express the un-expressible. These natives on the onset can wear a rather aloof expression but the eyes themselves can seem sad or unavailable. these natives are keen readers of body movements and often learned from their parents in doing so. they tend to take sudden energy shifts, changes in tone or a emotional tension very seriously and cause them to instinctively act out in a defensive manner. Mercury here is self defensive as a means to protect the natives inner realm. these natives can fly between rational vs irrational constantly which causes them to on occasion lie about what it is they’ re feeling towards something even if there actions say otherwise. The manner of speech is moody and can sway between talkative to detached. the home life could’ve been busy and rapid. natives like this tend to have a highly talkative home life or at least on that was filled for better or worse with “communication.” the chest can be rather fragile or boney in both men or women unless another planet rest here. these natives can be far more talkative and scattered at home that they would out and about.

Mercury In The Fifth House: The Prideful Mind 

(Neon Indian - Slumlord & Slumlord Re-release) 

The mind here is in a constant groove. These natives tend to find a natural illuminance in their day to day lives no matter how hard things get. These natives tend to seek out stimulation even more so than most other mercury placements. in some ways they are searching for excitement whilst in others they are searching for the moment of inspiration and gull. to them life is one long tirade and if you can’t find a way to make amusement out of it, its a waste. they can be hard to read in many ways, because much like a lion their attention can shift and lapse quicker than you have time to blink. they crave acknowledgement and can easily grow bored the second they notice the tone in your voice is lacking in that delicious “oomf” they need. they’re very creative when it comes to hobbies and many with this placement adore books and quotes and often tend to pass on this mercurial nature to their children. They can draw the attention of rather brainy children and tend to debate with kids quite a bit. That being said romantically they can be either choosey or a wild card. they want to meet all forms of intimacy, but this “thought” can be fleeting especially if something more entertaining catches their eye, be it drama, art, children or a new fashion trend. so make sure if you’re fancying a mercury in the 5th you keep in mind how quickly the chase can turn into a solo jog. These natives can have beautiful backs as mercury creates a rather slow arch and increases the smallness of the ridges along the back. that being said the spine and back can be very fragile.

Mercury In The Sixth House: The Practical Mind

(TV Girl - Every stupid Actress)

This placement is what I like to call the sad gal/boy aesthetic placement. I’m kidding of course(please don’t take it seriously lmao) that being said this placement can produce a very somber and rather mentally pessimistic person. they tend to see the world in a far more untrusting and linear way then most, but can also feel the world in a way some of us could only dream of. the way they process information and navigate the world is physical in nature as they often need to experience the world, as if they’ve done it for the first time as some tourist from a far away land. The nerves tend to be bad here so often these natives tend to develop “time killers” or “nerve relaxers” be it reading, jogging, working out, smoking, drinking, sex or otherwise. they tend to place value in the consistent aspects of life and this can make them seem rather dull and dry to most people as they’re the few people who actually tend to place value in what lies there before them in proof rather than a feeling things might “be” as they want them to. These natives can seem like the bad boy or girl as many of them don’t actively support much of society or the norms people have in place. they conform and work in the silence but underneath that readily servicing mind they are in fact observing and yes, they are ranking, ordering and neatly filing everyone like files in a drawer. moody or dreamy types can piss them off as they live in a more fabricated/rose colored world than these natives do which often makes them rid the nonsense or take on a more aggressive attitude. the belly can be rather sensitive to foods and the natives themselves can be conscious about their tummy. they often have jobs that require a lot of movement or communication in some way. 

Mercury In The Seventh House: The Bicameral mind

(Empress Of - Everything to Me) 

The mind here is actually a two sided coin. on one end there is a talkative social butterfly, eagerly embracing thoughts and ideas of others but inadvertently remaining passive towards these ideas, never inputting their own thoughts. on the Other end we have a less talkative side, observing and speaking only in response, this time every response being a direct inner opinion and thought in response to what has been spoken. these natives can be a true half of halves due to their tendency to take a particular side or stance unknown to them. The challenge is figuring out which side you’re talking to as these natives can be immensely detached when it comes to more serious and tense testimony. they love interacting but can at times lack the tools to direct a conversation on their own. they tend to appreciate a certain level of calm and chance in their meetings with others and attract this same energy to them. they’re sweet and generous but have a perfect balance of knowing when to retreat or give space to others. they tend to need marriage partners who are just as much as a conversationalist as they are. in men this can mean an attraction to a more lean or skinnier partner whilst in women this can mean the same. the buttocks can be rather fragile or petite in its look. the pelvis region can on occasion have issues whilst sleeping as well. 

Mercury In The Eighth House: The Rhythmic Mind  

(Asap Rocky - A$AP Forever Remix Feat. Moby, T.I., Kid Cudi)

These natives are the epitome of the gambler. The type I'm referring to isn’t just the casino but rather it’s the fact that these natives take a certain level of excitement in pushing the limit. for them there isn’t a line, its merely a hurdle people fool themselves into creating as a form of limitation. These natives deeply believe in pursuing life and all of its aspect in every extreme. some who are disconnected with their eighth house eventually feel this placement as its something that grows in its intensity as the years go. these natives are where the “testing” comes from. many blame Scorpio for the trials and tribulations, when in reality these natives are the judge and the jury in that regard. they can read people, infact people are mini character studies for them. everything they learn from others is in some way etched into the character and melded to become a new trait, a new defense, a new tactic. they’re intimidating and in many ways far more than any Scorpio mercury due to how intense mercury swirls in the world of death, inheritance, loss, communion, and most of all the other side. they can often have a curious mind when it comes to the undead but often the spirits they attract can be mischievous, childish and irritating. in some ways spirits pose as children to lure in this native and often times these natives can have a certain level of darkness they flee from related to their own childhood. Mercury here makes people rather fearful but in a strange way trusting of telling these natives their darkest secrets. These natives can have rather petite or tight genitals. for them sex and intimacy is a meeting of the minds even more so than the body. they can be detached towards sex if a mental connection isn’t formed no matter how many “I love you’s” are said. the eyes can be deep, penetrating and ICE like a cool winter sky. they are not the types to let someone hold control over them in a conversation and will easily snake it in a way that suites them. 

Mercury In The Ninth House: The Loud Mind 

(Jacques Greene - Nordschleife) 

These natives are ambiguous in nature. the mind can be thinking a million and one different scenes and scenarios and in reality what is spoken can completely be a whole other concept in itself. Their mental aptitude is something to be commended as they can easily dance circles around anyone with their vast mental compacity. they have a keen sense of the world, the land, its ancestors, it’s lore and history as if they’ve lived it countless times. That being said in opposition to its third house sister, these natives can lack the small and more crucial baby steps or mental facts that are necessary to give the bigger ones a face. They are gracious and gluttonous when it comes to ideas and knowledge as they love to soak up everything. knowledge and perspectives are the fountain of youth for them as they often need those different views and concepts to further deepen their minds. although mercury is a bit estranged here, he still bubbles and gasses at the Hugeness of the ninth house. foreign travels are usually riddled with opportunities to “learn” and are often plentiful in compacity. These natives are very hard to catch and even harder to maintain as they often have their own set of beliefs that they will fight tooth and nail to convince you to see. they can have a bi-polar relation with religion and can either support or ignore it depending on which side wants to be present that day. University life is often stimulating as hell for these natives and provides them many opportunities for self expansion if properly used. the thighs tend to be petite and rather intricate in form. these natives usually have a rather “entertained” expression as if they’ve already given themselves all of the conversation before you even appeared.

Mercury In The Tenth House: The Heavy Mind

(Drake - 9) 

for These natives the mind can be rather intense. In many cases mercury being situated in a house it would normally share and in-conjunction with in theory can be a bit tense as they say. the mind is extremely disciplined here and often the manner of speech can be pressed or withholding as these natives often slip into moments of silence or intended distance. sometimes these natives do it for the masses while other times its because of the rather unfair critique they give themselves. they aren’t the types to act and many prefer to present themselves authentically which can make them seem like a cold, mercenary. in some ways they are the queens and kings of detaching emotions from intellectual situations but in moments when emotions are needed these natives can still  struggle to turn on the sensitive switch. The value work and ethic and place a high caliber to who and what they care to listen to as far as opinions go. they can do what must be done to rise to the top as they don’t have the same limitations others would from tearing down the competition. these natives have a rather fragile bone structure and can easily damage their body if they overextend themselves. They are well known through media and through their careers by being a communicator and someone who is competent in electronics, photography, and so on. the dream career could be one in the media in some way or even to a lesser extent acting(but for the most part anything in communications)

Mercury In The eleventh House: The colonized mind 

(Julian Casablanca's + The Voidz - Dare I Care)

Mercury in this house can produce some far out head spaces. These natives can live in a whole new parallel but at the same time you wouldn’t know unless you really got to know the native. they tend to enjoy the game of hide an seek when it comes to which persona they’ll show you. much like all the other air houses, the multiple faced persona is a big play on into how they express themselves. om one hand they revel in their uniqueness but on the other hand unlike Aquarius mercury they are not set on being above or beyond others, they simply want to connect, connect, connect until they have seen it all, every part of it. they can be geniuses, their minds and the way they think is both humbling and terrifying as these natives in most cases struggle following more common or relaxed means of relation. For them the real joy is the build up, the initial hum and drum of relating to someone you share nothing in common with. they tend to be broad minded and adore a multiverse of different personalities, archetypes, scenarios and settings. to them so long as it’ s different or new they are down for the time it takes to understand what they’ve gotten themselves into. strange and more isolated themes are fascinating to them as they often want to know the why and how of it. as far as dressing goes these natives are very unique, but naturally so. they just have this electric. sensational energy to them that makes everyone want to catch a whiff of their beat. Their friends tend to have Gemini placements or operate on a mercurial vibration. they can adore communities and groups and be involved in many. the ankles tend to be small and thin depending on what else rest in this house. 

Mercury In The Twelfth House: The vibrational Mind

(Charlotte Gainsbourg - Rest)

Mercury in the twelfth house is a rather complex placement, more complex than any other placement. unlike its other water house sisters, mercury in the twelfth is about more than fluctuating thoughts, or intensity, rather its about the lack of. mercury here is quiet, mercury almost takes on this ghostly role. these natives suffer from what I like to call the silent miss syndrome- this is the act in which certain actions or feelings are felt and thought upon but acted out in passive aggressive and dismissive ways. these natives tend to avoid their emotions and thoughts which creates a separate means of dealing with both that makes these natives in concept difficult to read or even understand. they can express one thing and not just feel something else but do something else completely opposite of what either of their previous actions or thoughts had dictated. the mind here is cloudy and changing, but above all else it’s mute because its never consciously expressing anything. mercury in the 12th Houser's are expressing their feelings but rather as a frequency or a current rather than anything direct or visible to the naked eye. mercury in this house creates an energy in which what ever is internally felt by these natives is picked up by others and passed on into them, almost like an electrical current. it changes the moods of those around them in their  environment in a powerful way. Their sadness, happiness, anxiety, pain, rage, hate, content, tiredness, all of their inner feelings become voices in the environment causing an almost domino effect. this is one of the hardest placements for mercury and for most of their early years these natives can be rather introverted and have self- isolating tendencies due to how sensitive and vulnerable to others they truly are. they can feel everything, and anything almost like a psychic sponge. their dreams can be riddled with the being communicative or in a way far more hand capable than they might actually be in the real world. They are so beautiful and gentle spirits but for a long time until they learn to fly free of Neptune's waves there mercury will be held in a glass cage.

Cloudland Belief Systems

Multiple beliefs exist in the cloudlands. This post discusses the four most common belief systems from my fanfics: believers in unity between three counterparts after death, believers in the elemental zodiac, believers in a blended system, and believers in the influence of fairy tales on fae biology.

==========

Overview

Daoism - A Fae religion based on the idea that Fairies, Anti-Fairies, and Refracts will experience metamorphosis after death and take on a united form with their counterparts (Daoine Sìth). This religion has notable influence from Celtic folklore. Most Daoists are Fairies and Refracts. This Daoism is NOT related to real-world Taoism; it is a fanmade fae religion named after the Daoine Sìth, who are nature spirits described in Scottish folklore.

Zodiism - A philosophy based on the belief that the stars and the fae zodiac influence the lives of all living creatures.Deities known as nature spirits play a role in this philosophy. The year you were born in heavily influences your personality and the animal spirit your family honors largely shape your destiny. Most Zodii are Anti-Fairies.

Integration - A blended belief system held by those who do not believe Daoism and Zodiism are mutually exclusive. It’s not very acceptable to think this way since fae society favors black and white distinctions. The residents of Twilight Point (the settlement formed in Hawthorn Haven by runaway fae youth) are required to accept the idea that they can be integrated, or else speak of no spiritual beliefs.

Woven Ones - A philosophy based on the idea that the fae and their society are products of the beliefs outsiders hold about them and the stories people share. This philosophy is strongly connected with fairy tales.

Different sects exist in the cloudlands, each with their own cherry-picked beliefs. It’s also common for fae to hold no spiritual beliefs at all.

Daoism

Followers

Vast majority of Refracts

A large percentage of Fairies

A hefty majority of Pixies

A small handful of Anti-Fairies

The Fairywinkle family is very strongly Daoist, but Wanda turned away from those beliefs later in life. Cosmo’s uncle Harold is Daoist mostly because he married a Daoist women, but otherwise no one else in his family is strongly attached to the religion. Poof and Dusty were not raised in a Daoist home (although they are exposed to Daoist beliefs every time they visit their Fairywinkle relatives).

H.P. was raised Daoist and still considers himself to be one since he holds general Daoist beliefs. He would prefer his pixies were brought up Daoist too. However, H.P. tends to cherrypick the parts he likes and ignore the parts he doesn’t- for instance, he might page through King Nuada’s scripture but doesn’t see the point in studying it since he “already knows the stories,” and he hasn’t attended church since he was very young. One of his older pixies, McKinley, is an extremely devout follower of Daoism and visits Fairy World every Thursday to pray and sing songs.

The Eros family, blessed by Aengus, are extremely Daoist and would be killed if they ever strayed from that path.

Building Blocks

This religion revolves around achieving self-actualization- living up to your full potential and reaping the enjoyment of your full magical strength. Hard work and emotional satisfaction are highly prized in this belief system; knowingly subjecting yourself to unhappiness is not. Tales of the Tuatha Dé Danann make up the lore of this religion, though it is believed the race has died out. Stories about hundreds of deities and their intricate relationships are told to children as a way of teaching moral lessons.

Daoists believe the ancient Aos Sí race literally split apart into three separate creatures: Fairies, Anti-Fairies, and the Refracted. They believe that what has come apart will come together again, and three counterparts will become a single creature in the afterlife: Daoine Síth.

Daoism is fairly open and about making your own connection with deities; honoring the memory of these noble spirits can be done with intense worship and prayer, or through simple gestures. It’s a religion of “Whatever works for you, as long as you do it with pride.”

Customs and Rituals

There are thousands of stories related to the Tuatha Dé Danann, and it’s difficult to master them all. Nonetheless, it’s expected one will know a significant amount of them. When one feels confident in their abilities, they agree to be baptized. Baptism involves a symbolic dance and kiss with one’s Refracted counterpart (since Refracts are usually raised to be Daoist priests and priestesses). Baptism can be done in any of the Daoist shrines any time before one comes into their adult wings; once you come into your adult wings, you can only be baptized in the difficult-to-reach High Kingdom temple.

After baptism, you receive a baptism medal and can travel to certain restricted, holy locations in the cloudlands. The Eros Nest is usually restricted, though it opens to the public at certain times.

A church service is held four times a year (generally the first Thursday after the season turns). Many Daoists choose not to use magic on Thursday, though that isn’t a requirement. The religion forces very little upon its believers; it is a religion of self-actualization and coming to decisions on your own.

Deities

Daoists honor the memories of the old days and believe they’ll have the chance to embrace the old days themselves after death. When speaking of the Tuatha Dé Danann, one should place their thumb to their chest.

Prayer is not very important, as Daoists believe the Tuatha Dé Danann have moved on, so there isn’t really anyone left to pray to. One may pray to the general universe if that’s what they wish to do. The religion urges followers to find their own way to connect with the universe and feel at peace.

Prayer is done by kneeling with the right hand touching the forehead, palm facing out, thumb curled in so it touches the palm. The same sign (minus the kneeling) means “I come in peace” in Fairy culture.

Literature

The single holy book is called King Nuada’s scripture and contains many stories about the Tuatha Dé Danann. One should study this book if they intend to be baptized (though they could learn the stories orally as well and be baptized without ever turning a page).

Moral Rights and Wrongs

Reaching the afterlife is inevitable unless you majorly screw up by committing one of the Three Deep Sins, which are stated in this poem written at the beginning of Da Rules:

Tell no lies, excepting those dressed in white. Kill no one before they've engaged in fair fight. If ever in doubt, recall the Fairy Elder is sure to be right. Disobey these and you'll lose your path to the light.

Truth, honor, and total obedience to the Fairy Elder are crucial. Killing someone without giving them the chance for a fair fight will blacklist you from Fairy society. “Fair fight” means both parties should be physically capable of defending themselves; one should not kill someone who is bound, has been kidnapped and thrown into a small space, or who is praying.

Aside from these Three Deep Sins, there are a few other incidents that can cause you to die a “dustless death” and get lost on the way to heaven. These include killing a unicorn, disobeying your master if you’re a selkie, dying as an infant before you’ve had your first taste of milk, and so on. If you don’t end up on Plane 23, it’s believed the Darkness will snatch you up.

Daoists dislike coin sith (fairy dogs) because they’re said to carry souls to the afterlife. Specifically, their bodies carry souls, and swap soups with other bodies to do so. Commit one of the Three Deep Sins in front of a fairy dog and it’ll take your soul. Daoists believe fairy dogs can die, and that if you die while in the body of a fairy dog, you don’t go to heaven and simply cease to exist. Certain sins will likewise cause you to “die a dustless death” and lose your right to heaven.

In Daoism (as with most of Fairy culture), values such as honor, loyalty, and trust are integral to society (tracing back to Fairies’ adherence to geasa and Da Rules). In Zodiism (and most Anti-Fairy culture), it’s thought that promises should be broken for the “greater good”- a vague concept that makes Fairies uneasy but which community-centered Anti-Fairies soak up.

Fear of The Darkness was everywhere in Fairy World until “Wishology.” After witnessing The Darkness become the Kindness, Daoists are trying to decide how this changes their beliefs.

Social Roles and Relationships

Friends and romantic partners are expected to support one another, helping each other make good choices. Mothers and fathers are both expected to be gentle and nurturing with children (no distinction of gender in that role).

Typically, Refracts are perceived as pure and holy while Anti-Fairies are perceived as deceptive and evil (or if not evil, then certainly troubled and untrustworthy). Refracts usually work as priests and priestesses in the Daoist shrines throughout Fairy World. Fairies hold other jobs (they’re encouraged to pursue what they love) and strive to purify themselves.

Anti-Fairies are, sadly, frequently ignored or rejected. In general, Anti-Fairies are thought to embody the impurities of the soul. It’s best to strengthen your body, mind, and spirit so they don’t consume you in the next life.

Daoism is a religion of self-actualization. You are encouraged to do what you feel is best for you and seek the lifestyle that makes you happy, so there are no strict social roles in this religion.

Death and the Afterlife

It’s believed all three fae counterparts unite into a single being in the afterlife (Daoine Síth form). The Daoine form closely resembles depictions of the Aos Sí. The counterpart with the highest lift (crown height) in life will pass the most personality traits to the Daoine form, the lowest lift will pass the least.

It’s believed your magic cycles back through the universe after death, but that ancestors still have some ability to offer more or withhold some of their magic from living relatives. Respecting your ancestors will ensure magic stays available and easy to use, while offended ancestors may cut your supply.

If a fairy has magic in their body when they die (i.e. a connection to the energy field), they will turn to dust upon death. Those who die without a connection to the energy field will vanish without leaving any dust behind. Daoists believe it’s honorable to die a “dusty” death and shameful to die a dustless one.

At a Daoist funeral, people dress in black. Those who knew the deceased may speak about them briefly in front of a small gathering. Daoist funerals are usually short and held outside, so it’s rare to set up chairs or have a banquet. The next of kin decides what to do with the deceased’s lifedust and core- some dispose of it, others keep it in their bedroom or office space. It’s also common to eat the core, which is a symbolic gesture connected to the idea that once you die, your magic flows back into the universe for your family to use.

The second Thursday of July is the Day of Daoine on the fae calendar. This celebration honors the dead by setting a place out for them at meals and telling this empty chair about events that have occurred in the family.

Life as a Daoist

To call yourself Daoist, you should know (and believe) the major stories about the Tuatha Dé Danann and some traditional heroes, including King Nuada and Cú Chulainn. You should know the four treasures and what became of each one. You should know the three parts of the soul and believe that in the afterlife, you and your counterparts will unite as one.

When you are confident in your knowledge, you can be baptized in a Daoist shrine. There are several of these throughout Fairy World. These appointments must be made in advance and you should arrive fasting. At your baptism, you will meet your Refracted counterpart, who will walk you through a symbolic dance and end the encounter with a kiss (If you’re the Refracted counterpart, you’ll practice your dance in advance and be summoned when called upon).

Once you moult into your adult wings, Fairy and Refract counterparts come together again for a second symbolic dance, this one more detailed and intense than the first. A large coming of age ceremony is held which involves donning ceremonial clothing and dyeing hair with unicorn blood.

Most Fairy World shops close early on Wednesdays, regardless of whether the owner is Daoist or not. They stay closed on Thursday and open again on Friday, when the Fairy work week begins. Many Daoists choose not to use magic on Thursdays, though this is not required. Like the rest of Daoism, it’s a religion of personal choices and self-actualization. It’s up to the individual to decide whether “Thursday” means from sundown on Wednesday to dawn of Friday, whether it’s when you go to sleep, and whether "Thursday” means Thursday in your home time zone or current time zone.

The four season turn holidays are celebrated on the appropriate dates. A small church service is held the first Thursday following each of these holidays, resulting in four church services a year.

Daoists also believe in the three parts of the soul: the hands, the lines, and the core. When sharing magic, whether that be while preening or while mating, the three parts come into play; it’s custom to hold at least one hand palm to palm during these intimate moments. Holding hands is the first of these three stages of intimacy, followed by breathing in sync with one another, and finally sharing your emotions and mind without holding back.

Common Criticism

It’s argued that the Tuatha Dé Danann were people too, just living their lives. Why worship them as though their daily actions were holy?

There is evidence the Aos Sí existed. However, there is little evidence that the Aos Sí split into three counterparts. Perhaps the Aos Sí were ancestors of Fairies, but not Anti-Fairies or Refracts.

There is documented proof of the nature spirits, but not as much evidence for Daoine forms.

Strong evidence for reincarnation exists, but reincarnation doesn’t fit into the Daoist vision of the afterlife.

Anti-Fairies in general don’t mesh well with Daoist beliefs; in general, Fairies try to avoid Anti-Fairies and don’t even invite them to the shrines during baptism when Fairy and Refracted counterparts come together... quite rude for a religion that believes in equal unity after death.

Anti-Fairies are offended if they’re told, in essence, to grin and bear their way through this life because in the next life, they’ll be equal to Fairies.

Vast majority of Anti-Fairies

A modest number of Fairies

Very few Refracts

Anti-Cosmo is firmly Zodii and has tried his best to raise Foop and Smoky in a Zodii home. Anti-Wanda was indifferent to Zodiism in her youth but has accepted Zodii beliefs as an adult. However, she leans towards integration. Foop agrees the nature spirits exist and might send miracles if they feel like it, but he feels no attachment or genuine respect towards them. He believes they see mortals like pawns and don’t actually care about him, so why should he praise them for that?

The vice president of Pixies Inc., Longwood, holds Zodii beliefs even though H.P. is Daoist. He was born in a Leaves year, so he often visits the Leaves Temple on Thursdays to meditate and pray. As he’s grown, he’s struggled with Zodii beliefs and even reverted briefly to Daoism because according to Zodii beliefs, he (a Leaves year) should be submissive and shouldn’t hold leadership positions... an obvious conflict with him first in line to be the next Head Pixie.

Building Blocks

The Zodii believe that Tarrow, the cosmic jellyfish and deity of fate and destiny, selects a path and soulmate(s) for everyone. You can choose to reject his plans, but you won’t have his influence in your life anymore, and things will probably go very wrong very soon. 

While there are hundreds of nature spirits, the main seven control the elements and are therefore placed on the Fairy zodiac. The days of the week are named after them. It’s said that their power is strongest on their day of the week, not to mention their year in the seven-year cycle. Similarly, the Zodii believe that the day of the week and year of the zodiac cycle affects the flow of luck that influences you. They tend to be very superstitious people, and will postpone events until the right moment- for example, marrying in a Love year.

The Zodii believe encounters are fated and you can predict how well a relationship will work out by how the first encounter goes. The more impactful the first conversation, the higher the chance you’ll meet again and grow to be good friends.

Then there are bonds. The Zodii believe in fate, and that the year of your birth has a major impact on your personality. As such, they believe in automatic compatibility between certain signs on the zodiac, and automatic incompatibility between others. It’s not unusual for a Zodii to refuse to even have a one-night stand with someone of an “incompatible” zodiac, lest it lead to negative consequences.

Customs and Rituals

Many (though not all) children of Zodii parents are betrothed shortly after birth. Colored rings are distributed to the youth and the youth search the crowd for someone with a matching ring. Those who do not find someone with a matching ring within the given time are declared not to have a soulmate attending the ceremony, and must actively seek them later in life. Non-Zodii often mock the “randomness” of Zodii betrothals, but the Zodii believe strongly in fate. This ceremony was depicted in Frayed Knots Chapter 3, “Fun With Yarn.”

Note - In Anti-Fairy culture, marriage and romance do not always go together. Instead, marriage and soulmates go together. Siblings (especially twins) are sometimes betrothed.

The fae calendar is based around the fae zodiac, with the Love year considered the first year of the new cycle (Leaves the last). The new year is always a big event in Anti-Fairy World, but the turn of the zodiac cycle (every seven years) is bigger. Most Zodii, if they choose to marry, will postpone their wedding until the year of Love. Growth milestones are celebrated in the year of Love as well.

At age 150,000, an Anti-Fairy becomes a legal adult and has a coming of age ceremony that involves watching the body with different products. Non-Anti-Fairies may also engage in this ritual, some choosing to perform it at age 150,000 and others at the appropriate age of majority for their living situation. Anti-Cosmo’s coming of age ceremony was depicted in the Frayed Knots chapter “The Bar Code.”

Deities

The Zodii honor nature spirits who watch over the universe. These include Mother Nature, Father Time, and several other powerful characters who appear in The Fairly OddParents. The Grim Reaper, for instance, is a form of the nature spirit of death. The chicken goddess from the episode “Chicken Poofs” represents the nature spirit of life. The Darkness and the Hocos Poconos are also notable figures to note.

There are seven elements on the fae zodiac (depicted above) and each is represented by a nature spirit. These elements are Love, Fire, Water, Sky, Soil, Breath, and Leaves. It’s believed the seven children were born in this order, giving rise to the seven days of the week on the fae calendar. The association between Anti-Fairies and Friday can be traced back to the Love deity, Dayfry, who represents the first year of the zodiac cycle and the first day of the fae work week.

The zodiac spirits are associated with the following:

Love - Dayfry the Leader - Balance, loyalty, duty, politeness, gentleness, sacrifice, honor

Fire - Saturn the Warrior - Energy, comfort, emotional strength, passion, family, justice

Water - Sunnie the Scholar - Focus, tact, introspection, education, logic, tranquility

Sky - Munn the Trickster - Acceptance, compassion, hope, faith, cheer, speed, safe travel

Soil - Twis the Merchant - Dedication, work, ambition, planning, harvest, physical strength

Breath - Winni the Teacher - Communication, health, teaching, sewing, rest, self-care

Leaves - Thurmondo the Scientist - Curiosity, courage, initiative, understanding, mercy, humility

If someone who is Zodii encounters a problem, they may pray to the spirit they believe would be best equipped to solve the problem (You honor all deities if you’re Zodii- you aren’t locked into honoring only one, even if that’s the one who is “in charge of you”).

The nature spirits have no biological sex and are genderless in their own eyes. They manifest differently to different people. In the cloudlands the ancient phrase “seven children” was translated as “seven sons,” so the zodiac spirits are said to be male. The Snobulacs worship a healing deity whom they perceive as female, even though this deity (according to the Zodii) is another form of Winni. Dame Artemis explicitly refers to the zodiac spirits as female.

In my nature spirit resource collection, I noted the minor spirits by the gender they are perceived as by the narrator who will encounter them (for personal reference). In reality, they are sexless and genderless.

Literature

There are no “holy” texts per se; Zodiism is technically a philosophy, not a religion. However, mythology about the nature spirits exists and is prominent. Many stories have been compiled in collections.

Zodiism is inseparable from math. The flow of luck in the universe is always traced back to calculations and you need some schooling to understand how all that works.

Moral Rights and Wrongs

“Right” and “wrong” are much more subjective in Zodiism compared to Daoism. In Daoism (as with most of Fairy culture), ideas like honesty and obedience are always considered right while deceit and anger are considered wrong; promises should always be upheld no matter what. In Zodiism (and most Anti-Fairy culture), promises can and should be broken for the greater good, and it’s up to the individual to determine when the “greater good” distinction applies.

Those who are Zodii usually try to honor the spirit who rules the year they were born. They try to view the world through that spirit’s eyes and encourage that spirit’s values. Examples:

Someone who honors Sunnie may actively search for those who seem stressed, and try to help them find peace.

Someone who honors Munn may seek those who feel rejected and try to help them find new friends who make them feel accepted.

Someone who honors Thurmondo may seek those who want to tackle large research projects and help them network. 

Zodiism is all about making an active effort to help others the way the spirits would want them to be helped. Actively seeking those in need is considered a good act. Not volunteering helpful information that could benefit someone when they explicitly state what they’re looking for is considered a failure (“going against fate”).

Acting out of turn is also frowned upon. It’s believed the order of the zodiac depicts the natural order of dominance and submissiveness (since the goal is to look to the spirits and try to live like they do). Trying to take the lead when you should be the submissive one is inappropriate.

Note - Age takes priority over zodiac. Those younger defer to those 5,000 years older than them. If you’re born within the same 5,000 year chunk, the earlier zodiac year takes priority.

In the Frayed Knots chapter “Cageflight,” Anti-Cosmo (born in the Water year) struggles with his Zodii beliefs when he decides to take the submissive role with someone born in the Leaves year. Upon realizing he enjoyed this sexual encounter, he is confused and horrified- according to Zodii teachings, he should have been offended, left the situation, and shouldn’t have enjoyed it at all.

Social Roles and Relationships

The Zodii believe in zodiac bonds. That is, the year you were born on the fae zodiac affects your relationships. Yellow bonds are considered good luck, green bonds bad luck (in the sense that even Anti-Fairies desire yellow bonds, not green). Yellow bonds lead to prosperity and happiness, green bonds to misery.

Zodiac bonds are based on the relationships of the zodiac spirits; the idea is that the year you were born gives you the same characteristics as the nature spirit who represents that year, so you too will mesh with someone of other years the same way the spirits do.

Many Zodii are betrothed young. It’s believed that fate plays a role in these betrothals, so they’re thought to lead to genuine life satisfaction even if you end up with an undesirable bond.

Zodiac Bond Colors

YELLOW - Two people usually get along very well

BLUE - Mostly the same as your counterparts get along

PINK - Mostly opposite how your counterparts get along

PURPLE - It really just depends; could go either way.

GREEN - Usually don’t get along very well at all

Those born in the same year are assumed to have a purple bond.

Foop’s parents and the majority of the Anti-Fairy public expect him to make a damsel named Anti-Coriander his High Countess someday. Foop was born in the Breath year, but is more of a scientist (associated with the Leaves year). Anti-Coriander was born in the Leaves year, but is more of a healer (associated with the Breath year). The Breath and Leaves years share a yellow bond. These two are considered an extremely balanced couple.

This idea of balance is considered a sign of a satisfying relationship; romance and passion are extra benefits, not the main points you should seek in an effective Zodii marriage.

Acolytes are expected to perform duties at their assigned temple, keeping the place clean and working. Many acolytes work on research projects in their free time. Parents do not have distinct social roles in Zodii beliefs (most Anti-Fairy families don’t consist of both parents and a child). However, the young should respect their elders and those born later on the zodiac (close to Leaves) should defer to those born earlier (close to Love).

There are three types of relationships the Zodii consider to be healthy: Relationships of Passion, relationships of Affection, and relationships of Duty. Accepting your fate and doing your duty without complaint is looked upon favorably in Anti-Fairy culture, even though most Fairies don’t consider this particular view healthy. Finding value in difficult relationships is part of the culture shock that keeps many Fairies from committing to Zodii beliefs.

A zodiac spirit pair represents each of these three relationships. You will notice that these spirits have yellow-bonded pairs. Zodii without partners may seek Dayfry, the unbonded spirit, for relationship advice or for a blessing to live a satisfying life without a bonded partner.

- Passion - Saturn and Munn embody the honeymoon phase of a relationship. Saturn is a flirt whose love language is words of affirmation. He’s a decorated war champion who considers himself a gentleman, and enjoys the traditional motions of courtship. Munn’s love language is gift giving, and he’s constantly trying to impress him with his antics. Anti-Fairies who prefer passionate intimacy may seek their blessing.

- Affection - Sunnie and Twis embody companionate love. Sunnie’s love language is physical touch, and he would snuggle all day if Twis let him. He likes having his back patted and rubbed. Twis’s love language is acts of service, and he likes getting work done with Sunnie at his side. Probably because Sunnie, being the Water spirit, waters his crops. They greatly enjoy one another’s company and conversation. Anti-Fairies who prefer affectionate, less passionate relationships may seek their blessing.

- Duty - Winni and Thurmondo represent difficult relationships. They both share the love language quality time. Winni constantly tells himself he’s doing the right thing in pursuing Thurmondo because they create oxygen for the universe when they’re together. Thurmondo struggles to break free and stand on his own. Since Anti-Fairies are forced to pair with those their counterparts do, they look to Winni and Thurmondo for strength when times are hard.

>> No one stepped in when Anti-Cosmo and his brother were smacked around by their mother, and the children weren’t sure who to talk to about their fears because relationships of duty are considered healthy in Anti-Fairy World (High Count Anti-Bryndin did occasionally scold their mother for being too harsh, but did not punish her or end her abuses).

Death and the Afterlife

Zodii funerals are longer than Daoist ones. They are normally held outside, but multiple people prepare speeches and chairs are set up; Zodii funerals are held a week or even two or three after death (unlike Daoist funerals, which are held as soon as possible). People wear white. Following the ceremony, the core is placed in a special burial chamber within the appropriate zodiac temple.

The Zodii believe in reincarnation after death. It’s anticipated that you’ll return as one of your own descendants, assuming you have the favor of the nature spirits. Because of this, it’s crucial to know your family line; Zodii children are encouraged to research their ancestors and determine who they’re a reincarnation of if possible.

Before reincarnating, a soul enters a waiting period where they serve the spirits in the afterlife. The Soil Temple (Twis’s temple) is populated by visible, glowing spirits who supposedly guard the tunnels. Anti-Cosmo firmly believes he served as a guard in the Soil Temple for centuries after his previous life and will probably serve there again after this one.

Alternatively, those who die may return as an aspect of nature (such as a tree or stream) or an animal (presumably the animal that represents your family), according to what the nature spirits task them to do.

Life as a Zodii

It is traditional for Zodii parents to present a child (born to them or adopted) to the appropriate zodiac temple as soon as possible. The child is blessed in front of witnesses and bestowed with a sacred name, called a private name. Anti-Fairies use their private names until age 150,000 when they have their coming of age ceremonies and use their adult names (which begin with “Anti-”). Non-Zodii parents also give their child a private name, as is Anti-Fairy custom, but do so outside the temples.

Foop was blessed under the name Nebula, but the name “Foop” stuck due to the news coverage surrounding his birth. His name is legally Nebula, but only his extended family call him that; most people don’t realize that’s his name.

Many Zodii are betrothed at a young age and go through life believing they’ve already found their soulmate. Soulmates generally live together (usually in whichever colony holds higher social status. Those who are not betrothed young are encouraged to study themselves and determine who they were in a previous life. Knowing who they were may help them satisfy them in this life by tying up loose ends and completing goals that were left unfinished.

Furthermore, identifying your past life may help you find your soulmate, as it’s believed soulmates reincarnate in the same time period as often as possible. It’s thought you can have multiple soulmates, but usually only one lines up per lifetime. Multiple soulmates in the same lifetime is not unheard of.

Certain Anti-Fairies who show passion and promise are encouraged to pursue lives as temple acolytes. From a young age, these Anti-Fairies study the flow of luck in the universe as well as architecture and interior design. Acolytes are highly respected in Anti-Fairy World, as the flow of energy through buildings is of the utmost importance to highly sensitive Anti-Fairy ears.

Most Anti-Fairies do not train as acolytes, and many don’t train for any job in particular. The majority of Anti-Fairies live and travel with their colony around Anti-Fairy World, constantly on the hunt for food (which is somewhat scarce in Anti-Fairy World). Zodii Anti-Fairies attempt to visit the zodiac temples on a somewhat regular basis, praying and leaving offerings to the nature spirits.

There are 12 special holidays on the fae calendar celebrated by Anti-Fairies, Zodii or not. A few have Zodii influence and are acceptable to celebrate if you happen to be Zodii but not an Anti-Fairy.

It’s believed those born in the year of Love are natural leaders while those born in the Leaves year are submissive. Those born later in the zodiac should be submissive to those born earlier, and young Anti-Fairies to older ones. Those who act in line with these stereotypes are praised by society while dissenters are scolded or even outright shunned.

Common Criticism

Zodiism suggests good and bad are subjective. Every spirit has their own perspective of good and bad and it’s impossible to be good in every person’s eyes. Some see Zodiism as a philosophy that teaches you can do whatever you want without consequences, even if your actions hurt others.

Zodiism a waste of valuable resources (for building temples, murals, monuments, etc.) and followers spend more time prettying the homes of the rich than helping those in need. Where are the morals?

There is so much variation in personality within a single year. How can it be argued that those born in that year will exhibit certain traits (or mesh well with those born under other zodiacs)?

Children are betrothed “randomly” at birth and expected to maintain those bonds for life; Zodii guilt culture is strong.

Any calculation can be invented to argue anything, so what proof is there that the afterlife will be the way mortal math and science suggest?

Where do counterparts fit in this philosophy? Why do babies physically resemble their counterparts at birth? How does the honey-lock work if counterparts don’t share a soul?

==========

Integration

Integrationists believe Daoist and Zodii beliefs are not mutually exclusive. They believe if all three counterparts agree to unite as one after death, they will. A counterpart who desires reincarnation will serve the nature spirits until they are granted another life.

It’s thought Daoine unity and reincarnation both involve the unanimous decision of all three parts of the soul; souls in disagreement must reside as separate shards on Plane 23 (probably in discontent) until they decide to either unite or reincarnate together. Balance, agreement, and consent are absolutely key.

The Tuatha Dé Danann are honored and prayed to alongside the nature spirits. Generally nature spirits are considered more powerful, but the Tuatha Dé Danann are looked to when one is honing in on a specific request (Ex: Saturn is a warrior deity in Zodii culture, but one may turn to a specific Tuathan figure to aid them in different battles depending on what that figure is known for; the same rule of general vs. specific also applies to school exams).

Integrationists are often critiqued for being disloyal. They are seen as flighty and desperate to cover all their bases without firmly believing in anything.

The majority of followers are youth (especially as of Hawthorn Haven). As a result, beliefs in integration are sometimes waved off as silly, rebellious, or a passing fad.

==========

The Woven Ones

The Woven Ones believe fae biology, society, and behaviors are influenced by the stories told about their people via fairy tales. The more often stories are told, the more influential they become; fae are only what mortal species believe them to be.

Those who hold such beliefs point to evidence like cherubs (Cupid in particular) gaining and losing power according to the amount of love in the universe.

This belief system is often critiqued for passing responsibility for one’s actions not on the fae who performs those actions, but upon those who tell their stories.

Certainly one of the less popular belief systems, but vocal nonetheless.

Can Dogs See Infrared?

How Do Puppies Learn to Bark When They Sense Infrared Heat?

It is difficult to believe but some pet dogs may be able to sense the heat from an infrared device.

If your dog feels threatened or anxious, then your dog may exhibit the typical signs of anxiety and/or fear.

This includes sniffing the air, heavy breathing, and an increased amount of attention to small things around him such as the doorbell or the television which all emits infrared radiation.

It may also startle at the sound of a car coming up on your yard.

Some dogs will also lick their ears and mouth, show their teeth, and put their nose in your face. In some cases, your pet dogs may even jump on you!

In order to see if your dog exhibits these signs of anxiety or fear it would be beneficial to have your pet dogs examined by a veterinarian.

At this time they will conduct an examination using ultrasonic and magnetic-frequency technology to determine if there are any physical abnormalities that may be causing these behavioral problems.

You may want to consult your vet if you notice that your pet dogs seem to be adjusting in a way that they were not previously accustomed to.

In many cases, these tests will reveal if your dogs may have some form of medical condition that is causing these behavior problems.

Some signs that may be observed in your pet dogs include excessive barking, whining, and even urination.

In most cases, if a veterinarian rules out medical causes for these behaviors then it will be necessary to make sure your dog is adjusting in his new surroundings.

During this process it may be necessary for you to bring your dog to a new place where he can be alone. This way he can relieve himself when he needs to without creating a panic for you and other family members. If you provide your pets with adequate exercise and emotional support they will be better adjusted in a short period of time.

Signs Dogs Can Sense Infrared

You’ve all probably seen the commercials on TV that show a dog that can smell things from hundreds of yards away.

It’s amazing how much they can sense and I’m sure you’re asking yourself, can dogs really sense the infrared sound that is made by a radar gun?

The answer is yes, they can and the reason that they can is because it is exactly what the dogs are smelling-radar.

Dogs can sense infrared and they do this even better than the police dogs can.

It’s actually amazing to watch dogs working their A.C.T. and work that way for hours at a time without any type of tiredness at all!

They can smell all sorts of things and they can actually tell you if something is wrong or not.

Do Dogs Really See in Infrared Light?

Most people have a misconception that dogs cannot be trained to see in the infrared spectrum.

They are under the impression that dogs cannot see infrared and so any attempt to train them must be fruitless.

The fact is that dogs can not only see infrared but they can also be taught to see it.

You may ask what does ‘hear’ mean when people say they can’t see infrared.

This is because they are both hearing and visually oriented animals.

To train your dog to see in the infrared light you will need to have him or her see an invisible light source.

When this light flashes on the dog’s eyes, he or she should follow it.

If they don’t, then he or she needs to be taught how to see. One of the best ways to teach your dog to see is by pointing the invisible light at the dog and saying “hear”.

Some dogs will respond to this command and others won’t.

A Comparison Between Our Senses And The Dog’s

Dogs have keen senses which make them exceptional at finding food, following trails, sensing danger and other tasks that we humans often take for granted.

However, it has been observed that dogs have a different type of brain which is more geared towards smell than ours which makes them far better sense detectors than the average human being.

In fact, the nose was once thought to be stronger than the brain and was used to track people, animals and other things that we might find difficult to track using our other senses.

The nose is also closely connected to emotions and dogs with abnormally large and powerful noses seem to display more fear than others do.

Another way in which dogs have an enhanced sense of smell is due to the fact that their nasal cavities are lined with oil glands which constantly produce a discharge that can be used for detection of bad odors.

Dogs also have many other senses besides their keen sense of smell and the fact that they have the ability to follow scent trails and use them to find food.

Their vision is probably one of the better senses that they possess along with the ears, paws and teeth.

Although dogs can hear very well they have very poor eyesight and depend heavily on their paws for this.

Although they cannot see very well due to their extremely sensitive eyes, their sense of smell is extremely good and they are able to pinpoint an animal or a person that is in the area by the smell of the body odor emitted by the animal.

While dogs have several great abilities that humans have and can take for granted, they have one major disadvantage, which is the fact that dogs are only able to see about 20 feet in front of them.

This means that unless they are moving quickly the rest of the world may not be in front of them and will not be able to assist them should there be an emergency.

Although some dogs have the ability to see at night they rely heavily on their vision during the day and if it stops working due to any environmental factors including light or weather, then their vision is severely hampered.

Although our dogs have keen senses that enable them to locate people, bark at intruders and even to herd farm animals, they still rely on us to keep watch over them.

Service Dogs Is People’s Best Friends

Dogs that serve humans have to be of a certain breed, usually a non-sporting breed such as a Labrador Retriever or a German Shepherd Dog, but they can also be bloodhounds, and sometimes even service dogs that are put on duty to locate lost children, deliver babies, find missing persons, or even make searches for survivors in disaster zones.

There are all kinds of dogs used for these kinds of jobs. But the most important task that they are required to perform is the detection of lost people, whether they are on a disaster or are just lost on their own.

This is why service dog training is so important.

There are three distinct types of service dogs.

The first type is the assistance dog, this dog performs the job of alerting the owner that their dog is missing.

The second type is the therapy dog, they give the owner emotional support by speaking to them, playing with them, and generally making them feel better.

The third type is the Sporting or survival dog, they assist their owners with things like finding their lost items or hunting for their lost friend.

All service or therapy dogs should go through some basic obedience training before becoming a permanent member of their owners’ family.

Some breeds of dogs have a natural instinct to fetch or to hunt for things, others may be taught in classes but will need constant training.

Once the training has started, the dog will perform its job efficiently, saving the lives of those it is meant to help.

These dogs are not only man’s best friends, they are also his protectors, able to find way out of dangerous situations where people may otherwise get stuck.

There are several organizations that train guide dogs, and there are even schools that offer certification in training guide dogs.

Service Dogs Is Personally Appreciating by Human Healers

There are a number of organizations that have been working for years with service dogs as part of their missions.

Some of the organizations to assist in finding homes for the animals and others in training their dogs to assist those with disabilities or health issues.

A service dog is not a puppy, but rather an adult dog that has been professionally trained to assist people with disabilities whether it be physical or mental.

This can include but is not limited to, pulling a wheelchair, serving as a guide dog, hearing aid or a pet dog.

Many times, this service dog is also used by the family’s veterinarian, who will take the dog into the vet’s office to provide the patient with care from their own veterinary pet, instead of having to call the vet for the patient.

One of the most common disabilities that service dogs provide for people are people with mental disabilities. Because of the dog’s connection and relationship with its owner, the dog will be able to know where its owner is at all times, and will be able to respond to and work around any needs the owner may have.

This helps cut down on the stress of people with mental disabilities and allows them to lead much more normal lives.

These service dogs are an invaluable part of the communities that they serve. As we continue to see all too often, there are plenty of devastating natural disasters in the world, and many of the human community members who should be prepared are not able to take advantage of the services that these dogs offer.

When disaster strikes, these dogs will be the heroes in our communities helping to get the relief that people need, instead of being the victims.

10 Ways Your Dog Can Sense You

Dogs are best known for their sense of smell and hearing, but they are far from the only senses that they use.

Although their sense of smell is the most common it isn’t the only one and neither is it the strongest.

There are 9 other types of senses in the canine world and they are olfactory, visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory, kinesthetic, and Reproductive.

Each has to do with how the dog uses the sense of smell and there are some that dogs are especially known for having a strong sense of. These include:

Smell: This is often used as the basis for a breed preference or a type of breed.

For example, the Labrador Retriever is known for its strong smelling capabilities.

Bulldogs are known for their power to smell so other things like cooked meats or garbage can be used as tests of strength.

Lops are said to have the best sense of smell of all the canines and other big dogs are not as highly ranked.

Visual Agnosis: This is also known as “the spy of sight” because this sense is used to follow the movement of things around them.

This is most commonly used by the large hunting dogs such as the Doberman Pincher.

Other examples include the Greyhound, Weimeraner, Golden Retriever, and the Toy Poodle.

Some dogs can only tell if something is moving by sight alone or through experience.

This includes the Fox Terrier, which relies on its hearing to determine whether or not something is truly there.

Safety Dogs Sensing Infrared

There is a new technology in working dogs, and it has something to do with the dogs’ ability to sense their environment, which can be sensed by a device called a thermal imaging device.

What the dog does is it will go into its own little world and will begin to act like it is in a different environment without you telling them that they are.

This is done by detecting changes in temperature and thus changing their behavior accordingly.

The device is called a thermal imaging dog and it has the ability to sense the temperature differences across a variety of temperatures.

It does this using something based on their thermal heat sensing ability.

Thermal imaging uses infrared and as we know, animals that have a high metabolic rate and those that can run a lot faster than the others tend to be the warmest.

If there is a drop in temperature across the pack this will cause the dog to slow down and it will take longer to catch up.

These dogs detect the change in temperature using the tip of their nose since it is an infrared sensor.

As it turns out, the infrared that the dogs use is actually based on their body shape.

Most dogs have a unique structure built in to their skin. They have a large mass of connective tissue between the bone and the skin which reflect the temperature of the animal’s body.

If you look at some of the big dogs you will notice that their fur is a very dark brownish color and the connective tissue is thinner.

This way the infrared that the dog uses can detect the temperature of the surrounding and allow the receiver to determine what the temperature is.

Study That a Dog Can Sense Thermal Or Infrared Heat

A new study that a dog can sense thermal or infrared heat is getting some attention.

Researchers at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Munich, Germany have found that dogs can respond to temperature differences in human-carrying air.

Researchers believe that dogs may use this understanding of temperature to help their owners keep their pets warm.

The study appears in the current issue of the Journal of Veterinary Medicine.

Previous studies had shown that dogs could detect body heat and cold body temperatures, but they had no way to know if they could sense the warmth of human air. The new study shows that dogs can respond to body heat.

The first part of the new study involved placing dogs on a cold floor and emitting repeated temperatures above their head.

After about ten minutes, the dogs showed a response to the temperature above their heads.

During subsequent tests, the same dogs tolerated being mildly hot and mild cold for up to five minutes.

Because the heat and cold treatments were carried out over several days, the researchers were able to measure the actual change in body temperature over time.

By comparing the results of their previous tests with the new findings, the researchers concluded that the dogs were registering changes in temperature based on human body heat.

Although the new study provides insight into the ability of dogs to sense temperature changes, it does not address other questions about how dogs are able to control their bodies when it is cold or heat outside.

Understanding how various breeds cope with climate and weather can also shed light on how to better care for and train your dog.

It is possible that further tests can lead to further clues about how canine can perceive infrared or thermal heat. In the interim, it can be helpful to keep your pet indoors when the weather gets too hot or cold.

Why Do Dogs Allow Them to See Better in Low Light Conditions?

Over the years dogs have come through a lot of different sorts of training and conditions that make them much better able to see better in certain lighting conditions.

Dogs are great animals and have the ability to adjust to different types of light very quickly.

There are several things that dog do better than most people, and one of those things is to adjust to dimmer lights.

One of the reasons that dogs are able to do this so well is because dogs have cells in their eyes that can sense the intensity of light.

The darker the light, the less light that are reflected onto the retina of the eye, and this means that the intensity of light at night is less intense than it is during the daytime.

In addition to the change in the intensity of light at night, dogs also have a mechanism in their eyes that is used to compensate for lower levels of light.

This means that when the light is dimmer than normal, dogs are still able to see because of their eyes being able to adjust.

Did Wolves and Doesn’t Evolve the Ability to See Infrared Light?

In my study of wolves and dogs I have found that wolves do not have the ability to see infrared light.

They only seem to be able to see ultraviolet light.

I believe that the main reason for this is that wolves are carnivores and being able to see UV light would have been a big advantage to them over the other animals on the plain such as cattle, sheep and pigs.

However, the same cannot be said for dogs. Dogs do have the capability to see infrared but they are very poor at it.

Canine’s have evolved into what we know today as a different breed.

A lot of the characteristics that we associate with wolves and dogs have been artificially created in order to allow us to recognize one another.

Although there are some differences in behavior and appearance most of the time these are not enough to identify one wolf from another.

Wolves do have some genetic differences from other dogs but when it comes down to it if they look similar enough to a human they most likely are not the same wolf.

So in conclusion wolves and dogs didn’t evolve the ability to see infrared.

Wolves Specialized Sight

Studies from around the world suggest that wolves are adapted to catching prey while in a day time they are able to move at a much faster pace when there is no natural prey to catch and eat.

Wolves instead evolved specialized sight to hunt in low light conditions because during the day they would have been walking around looking for food and once they located a good source of food they would then have hunted the animal.

At night time on the other hand they would roam around tracking down their next meal.

This is further backed by the fact that wolves actively search out their next meal during the night time, which is way before humans would ever actively hunt for their next meal.

This can be further backed up by the fact that wolves actively track their prey during the daylight and during the evening when the prey is no longer active.

This means that during the day wolves track after their prey but at nighttime when their prey is inactive, they simply move on.

This observation alone leads scientists to conclude that wolves hunt during the day and at night.

It is also proposed that the reason for this is that during the day when the lighting is poor, the wolves hunt during the night time when the lighting is good and the wolf can easily track their prey.

Why Do Dogs Only See Two Out Of Six Colors?

There is a common belief that dogs only see two out of three colors.

While this is true to some extent, they can actually see color in all six spectrum spectra, with different saturations of yellow, blue and gray.

The eyes of dogs have receptors which are sensitive to red light, green, blue and yellow.

Most likely though, dogs only see their color in the ultraviolet spectrum.

Some dogs do not have normal color vision. There are many breeds of dog which have varying amounts of melanin which gives them their specific color.

Signs Dogs Can Sense Infrared

Dogs use many of the same senses we humans do. They can sense heat, as you probably already know, and they are very sensitive to movement.

Dogs that are overweight often have problems with their eyesight.

This is not the case however, and some dogs can actually see well at night if given enough light. If you own a dog that seems lazy or lethargic, it may be a good idea to start training them to become more active.

There are some other common signs dogs can sense infrared.

Some breeds have large paws that help them track movement at night.

This is a major consideration when choosing a dog and keeping its environment friendly for the animal.

The ears are another way dogs can tell how they are feeling.

Many are extremely sensitive to noises and the tone or pitch of the sound can indicate illness in humans.

Another common sign of dogs that may have more than you thought are smell glands.

They may also have small bladders that can hold a scent much longer than a normal sized dog.

Their eyes may be dilated, which may mean they can see in dim light as well.

How Do Dogs Can Sense Infrared?

When a dog senses heat it’s actually in the red. That’s because red light is the most powerful invisible light in the animal world, and it is also the kind of light that your dogs’ vision will be reduced from.

Heat is such a strong signal because it is so near the animal’s eyes that their pupils dilate.

While dogs can’t see infrared, they can detect it with their keen sense of smell since they have infrared sensors at the tip of their nose. We humans aren’t that keen but we do smell things.

So if you have a dog that has been trained to locate hidden treasure, then you can tell a lot just by observing what he or she’s going to do.

It’s the same if you have a dog that has been taught to locate intruders in your home by their scent.

The main reason that your dogs can sense infrared is because they are closer to the surface than we are.

Because we walk through the night with our shoes on, our feet get a lot of ground in, and therefore they are closer to the ground.

This gives us our pets the ability to smell things on the ground through our own smell, which is what makes their sense of smell so superior to ours.

Other than being able to smell things on the ground, your dogs can also sense things on people, and if your dogs can sense your fear, then your dogs can sense infrared as well.

How Can You Tell If Your Dog Can Sense Infrared

There are a few ways you can tell if your dog can sense infrared, and one of them is by seeing where their ears are when they look at you.

If you raise your own eyebrow, your dog will most likely do the same.

Many dogs can’t fully protect themselves from the warmth of the sun, and so they look away from you in order to reduce the amount of heat they feel.

If you notice your dog pawing at you to get your attention, then they’re probably feeling very warm too.

If you can, try rubbing your hand up and down their back or around their neck to check out any raised temperature spots.

If you want to know how can you tell if your dog can sense infrared, but don’t have any evidence to help you out, there are some other things you can try.

Touch your hand on your pet’s back and run your fingers through its hair. If you can feel the heat, your dog is very sensitive to it.

Another way you can check to see if your dog can sense infrared is to hold a piece of aluminum foil in front of him and shine a bright light in front of him.

If your dog immediately stops moving and begins to blink rapidly in the direction of the light, then he’s definitely sensitive to it.

How to Tell If Your Dog’s Can Sense Infidelity

Do you suspect your dog may be cheating on you are suspicious of your partner’s attitude towards their new puppy or dog, then one of the most important signs dogs can sense is a raised temperature.

This means your dogs can detect a slight drop in temperature from you.

You will notice that your dogs seem more excited, energetic and chatty and also much more attentive to your every movement.

Your dogs may have also noticed you coming home after being out all day which means they were probably hiding behind your curtains watching you and we’re waiting for you to come home.

Another one of the common signs dogs can sense infidelity is aggression.

If you or your significant other has been leaving small amounts of money on the table in the form of snacks or meals, then your dogs may be looking for an opportunity to attack you.

If you have a chewed up piece of paper or note book from someone who was unfaithful, then your dogs may be picking up this type of information.

They may even be barking and howling while you are cooking or eating or running in circles around the house looking for the scent of someone who has been cheating on you.

A raised temperature coupled with aggressive behavior is another sure sign that your dogs may be picking up on infidelity in the form of aggression.

These are just two signs of infidelity that you or your significant other should be aware of if you think your dogs have picked up on infidelity.

The more signs of infidelity you can find, the more reliable the infidelity signal is.

How to Know If Your Dog Can Sense Infrared Energy & Start Showing Signs

Canine Aggression starts at a very young age, studies have shown that dogs can sense heat even before you see their hot temper or hear their howling.

When you are away from them for long periods of time, they will start to show signs of aggression.

They may sleep more and exhibit signs of unhappiness and depression.

One of the biggest fears of owners is that their dogs will develop full-blown aggression or worse, attack another dog.

Unfortunately, if your pet has this fear already, there is not much you can do about it other than trying to calm them down or make them realize their mistake and leave them alone.

If you see your dog starting to display signs of aggression then you should try to figure out what is causing this aggression.

Many times, this aggression occurs when they are bored or frustrated.

Other times, they may be defending their territory.

Sometimes dogs will display aggression for no apparent reason. It is important to know what is triggering each individual behavior so that you can address the cause instead of reacting to one of the signs.

#Can Reiki Cure Migraine Marvelous Useful Ideas #How To Clear Negative Energy With Reiki

[scuttleboat]

There’s no cursing in The Good Place... (spoilers for season 1)

This post may contain graphic and sexual language. Most of my blog does. Sorry this is way too fucking long.

I had a thought a few weeks ago about how the “no cursing” rule is used on The Good Place, and how a benign act of “appropriateness” is actually an early sign that the characters are living in a dystopian scenario.  And how--bear with me here--this reads to me as a clear analogy for dramatic flailing of fandom groups this last two years. Now, I may not make this point in the most thorough or elegant way possible, as I feel vaguely intimidated talking about a show that has such thoughtful philosophical consideration behind it, but I’m going to give it a shot. If I flub, blame the messenger not the essence of the idea.

In season 1, Eleanor and the audience are presented with a world that is supposed heaven, specifically a “neighborhood” of the good place that is specifically curated to fit its residences (in this case, Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, Jianyu, and others). Of course, we learn right away that Eleanor believes she’s there by mistake, and one of the first rules that demonstrates her “wrongness” is that she wants to curse, and can’t.

Eleanor: “Why can't I say ‘fork’?” Chidi: “If you're trying to curse, you can't here. I guess a lot of people in this neighborhood don't like it, so it's prohibited.” Eleanor: “That's bullshirt.”

The show glosses over this pretty quickly, and it’s played for laughs for the rest of the season. It very cleverly supports the show’s season 1 misdirect: any awkward or unsettling aspect of The Good Place is excused away by the audience (and by the characters) as simply being a side-effect of Eleanor’s misplacement. Of course you can’t swear in heaven!  Swearing is for bad people, and good people wouldn’t even want to hear it. So, therefore, it doesn’t exist here.

And yet, this is not just a subtle form of personal torture for Eleanor (as she is, of course, really in The Bad Place), it’s actually a pretty grotesque form of censorship on all of the characters. Notice that Chidi doesn’t say he is particularly averse to swearing. He says “I guess a lot of people in this neighborhood don’t like it.” Although not nearly as much as others, Chidi does curse a couple times in the show, himself. So, clearly, it’s not a thing he feels particular discomfort about---so why is it censored when they’re alone?  If this were truly a heavenly place customized for each soul, then Eleanor would be able to express herself and Chidi would be able to hear it, but other people who didn’t want to hear it would simply not be subjected to the cursing. 

Instead, the neighborhood completely outlaws cursing anywhere, at any time. In the s1 premise, it’s not enough for the other citizens simply to not hear the swearing, it matters if it’s even happening anywhere in their environment, whether they themselves are witness or not.  So why am I focusing on that idea, when we know the whole thing is manufactured, and the people who made up this rule did so as a lie, just to be cruel?

Because that line of thinking is so endemic to certain parts of fandom right now. Whether it’s making a story or fanart that contains content someone morally disapproves of, or whether it’s only a simple text post or meme going around, there’s thing now where people feel like content boundaries and warnings aren’t enough. It’s not enough to acknowledge that public platforms like Tumblr are unmoderated and that venturing forth to search or browse is accepting a certain amount of risk that one might run into something that makes one uncomfortable.  

[read more below the cut]

When people are campaigning that content they disapprove of--sexually, romantically, politically, morally, paternalistically--shouldn’t exist, they’re doing what the demons of The Bad Place have done to Eleanor and Chidi. They’re saying “This offends me, so it should not exist anywhere that I can know about or ever possibly visit.” Yes, that’s fic about characters who are underage having sex. Yes, that’s fic about characters having sex in a way that doesn’t fit their canon sexuality. Yes, that’s fic about violence and torture being done to characters for brutal and bigoted reasons. Yes, that’s fic about rape, assault, and abuse. Yes, that’s fic about uncomfortable, even disgusting things. Yes, it’s fic about noncon, dubcon, bad bdsm, ABO, slavery, fetishism, power differences, incest, and unrealistic depictions of drugs or sex. It’s fanart and headcanons about those things too.

These ideas, posts, fanworks, and concepts are part of fiction and literature. They’re part of fandom too, and are in fact one of the ways that fandom has pushed the edge of creative development for decades. As they said in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, “We do the weird stuff.”  Now most people in fandom don’t want to be a dick and just shove things in the face of someone who isn’t interested in consuming it--the artists and writers usually want their work to be found by people who want to consume it. So various media platforms have tools or informal conventions for negotiating shared spaces: tags and ratings on AO3, for example, serve a primary service of sorting the archive and secondary service of warning people of undesired content. On tumblr, it’s most an honor thing where people typically don’t follow blogs that post stuff they know they don’t like, and if someone is going to post something controversial they usually throw up an “FYI” at the top, or put it behind a read-more tag. Those decisions are voluntary, however, and everyone who uses a site like Tumblr is doing so with the express acknowledgement that they cannot control what others post, and may in fact browse a post with content they don’t like. For emotional, personal, or political reasons. ((Note: I’m not referring to personal targeted bullying  and harassment, which may violate the TOS of particular social media sites, and is off-topic for this discussion.))

What happens when you see that post that offends you? Well, you have three primary choices. You can engage with the OP, you can ignore it, or you can hit the “block user” or “report” options. At any given time, those various options may be what you decide to do, and that’s fine. That is, pretty much, the system working. It’s not a perfect system for sure, but it’s a reasonably functioning one on sites like Tumblr that try to accommodate the needs of millions of users. (don’t worry, fandom wont stay on tumblr and twitter forever.) AO3 has similar protections in place, with the difference being that AO3 is a far more opt-in user process: there is no personal “dashboard” or “my feed” on AO3. A person has to seek out content and utilize filters, and doing that only gets the user to the basics like title, summary, and tags. To actually SEE content, the user has to willfully click into the story.

I’m describing these processes (which most of you reading this will already know) because it’s important to keep in mind scope when we’re talking about content exposure and potential resulting damage. When you use these sites (and for the most part, the whole internet), the onus is on the user to curate their experience. On Tumblr that means blocking or blacklisting what you see, and on AO3 that means not clicking the link to a story unless you’ve read and accepted the warnings and description. On Google, it means don’t search “HS History teacher Dean takes teen Castiel in the locker room” if you don’t want to read something fitting that description. Yeah, it may offend you that it exists, but that doesn’t mean that you have to engage with it to prove that it’s harmful to you.

I’ve seen a lot of discussion this last 18 months about what people “can” or “cannot” write, draw, post, or squee about. I’ve seen it in The 100 fandom, I’ve seen it in Teen Wolf fandom, I’ve seen it in Star Wars fandom, I’ve heard about it in anime/cartoon fandom, and I’ve even seen it crop up in, OF ALL THINGS, Game of Thrones fandom.  (side note: if you complain about sexual content in fic while also posting gifs of GoT or Sense8 then I personally would like to throw a pie in your stupid face.) For some people, the answer to “I don’t like that this thing exists” seems to be to aggressively rail against it, to the point of targeting the creator, harassing them, or campaigning for websites or forums to change their rules so that XYZ offensive content does not exist. They say “I don’t care if you write it, just don’t post it where I might find it.”  The idea here is that the world around us is better without XYZ being part of our creative works or discussions, and that shunning that content and those creators makes the world (the internet) a kinder, softer, more welcoming place. 

A good place. 

A place where only good things can be. Where no one is made sad, and nothing that happens here can bring discomfort to anyone. And if you want something that’s not allowed in the good place, the righteous place, then it’s you who doesn’t belong. 

To circle back, the show The Good Place has gotten more popular this season, and I couldn’t be happier. I think it’s a fascinating examination of the ambiguity of people, as well as how mental stress can be used to torture. It’s a funny show with a lot of heart, but it’s a dark show too. And one of the darkest, subtlest things the show has ever done was reach into Eleanor’s mouth and change the words she is speaking. Not to prevent actual harm, but to make sure that other people could live in a world where things they abstractly disapproved of didn’t exist at all. For that, Eleanor was denied her basic concept of self and expression. The elimination of communication like that is such a profound violation of individuality and self that it’s almost incomprehensible that any world in which that happens could be ever perceived as a “good” place. That’s not a nice neighborhood where everyone gets along and is sheltered. That’s mind control. That’s gaslighting. That’s Hell.

There are a lot of ways to handle the struggle of content filtering, and hopefully we’ll figure out new and better ways in the future to balance the needs of artists with the needs of consumers, but one way that doesn’t work is censorship. AO3 isn’t going to change its rules to prevent content you don’t like. They know where that road ends. Tumblr might someday, but I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for it. And if they do, this whole network of fan culture will migrate to another site without those constraints. It’s already happened twice since I’ve been around. Purity wank is an old problem for fandom, but it used to be an attack from the outside. Now it’s coming from the inside too, probably because the community is so much bigger. So it’s time to really examine the discussions we hear, and sort out if silencing each other is really going to fix anything.

The emotional support animal debate rages on

Editor's Note: Denver7 360 stories explore multiple sides of the topics that matter most to Coloradans, bringing in different perspectives so you can make up your own mind about the issues. To comment on this or other 360 stories, email us at [email protected]. See more 360 stories here.

Buckle up! It’s nearly Thanksgiving and for travelers that means packed parking lots, crowded carousels and lines — long, long lines. 

More people are navigating the nuttiness of holiday travel with emotional support animals by their side. That trend has exploded with airlines seeing a big increase in passengers trying to bring them onboard.

Our viewers have told us about experiences where they were nearly attacked by aggressive dogs whose owners claimed they were emotional support animals.

People have tried to bring a full-grown peacock and an emotional support squirrel on flights.

Those with mental health challenges and disability advocates caution against painting everyone with a broad brush and encouraged us to take a 360 view and explore other viewpoints.

THE OWNER

Shana Duffy has bipolar disorder and survived a sexual assault. Her mental-health physician suggested she get an emotional support dog and so she got Apollo.

"Ok I'll be blunt, there was one night I was thinking about killing myself, and the thought popped into my head, 'Who is going to take care of Apollo?' And that was enough for me to stop thinking about it," Duffy said.

Apollo has given her back her sense of security and sanity and is a legally-certified emotional support animal. But she's had people give her the side eye once or twice.

"I have no fear in telling people, "Hey I was inpatient in a psych facility, and a doctor told me to get a dog. So when you get your medical degree, we can have this conversation again,” she said.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS VS SERVICE DOGS.

ADA service dogs are specially trained to perform a task — a seeing-eye dog is an example. They get to go almost anywhere its owners go.

The rules are different for emotional support animals. They help someone with mental distress and can be any animal. Owners get to travel and live with them for free after a doctor or therapist says they need one. Some people just lie and know they won’t always be asked for proof.

And that's a problem for the person with our next point of view.

AIRLINE EMPLOYEES

"What's really happening is we've got a lot of folks who for one reason or another try to avoid the pet fee," said Sharon Pinkerton, a vice president with Airlines For America.

Airlines have seen 50%-75% more people bringing on emotional support animals. She says it's time to tighten the leash and the regulations, to stop airports from looking like a zoo.

"We're not allowed to say no unless that animal is so big it creates some type of safety issue,” Pinkerton said.

THE DENVER-AREA LANDLORD

Teo Nicolais is a local landlord and a member of the Apartment Association of Metro Denver.  

"When it comes to mental health, I am all for anything which will help someone overcome those problems," Nicolais said.

It’s his view that people should be in the doghouse for gaming the system.

"It's very common for people to come and present what is, in fact, a pet as an emotional support animal. I think it's a huge disservice to those who actually need it," he said.

Faking an emotional support dog is like parking in a handicapped spot without the placard, he says. Why not have a registration system to track those who really need it?

"What we certainly would like to see is more verification, more documentation, so that we make sure we are offering the people who need the help, the help they need, while not allowing a free pass for everyone who wants to pretend they have the same need,” he said. 

THE ONLINE TEST

We logged online and got an emotional support certificate for my dog Rocky. 

I answered honestly a few questions about having trouble sleeping and feeling stressed.

I never talked to anyone on the phone or visited a medical professional, yet I received an emotional support dog certificate.

DISABILITY ADVOCATES

Before you go making up your mind, hear another point of view from disability advocate Emily Harvey with Disability Colorado.

"We don't believe the laws need to be stricter regarding service animals and emotional support animals," she said.

She doesn't want life to be made tougher for those with disabilities and worries about some new airline policies that require passengers to get a doctor's and a veterinarian's note 48-hours before flying with an emotional support animal.

"That seems fine until you meet someone who has a family emergency. Now they can't fly for two days because they have this restriction that they have to give the airline a certain amount of notice," she worries.

YOUR THOUGHTS

What do you think? Will regulations hurt the disabled? Has this gone too far or are we unfairly judging those battling mental health challenges?
