We've got a sweetheart named Nike here, a 6-year-old, mellow buddy with a beautiful fawn-colored coat. He's a total lovebug, just wants to be near you, and loves a good tug-o-war or just having a toy in his mouth! Now, Nike's got heartworm, but don't let that scare you! Friends of BCAS are covering his treatment. He's a "Velcro dog," meaning he's all about affection, not just playtime. He's a volunteer favorite, but he's having a hard time living at the shelter, and frankly, we're worried about him. He's good with other dogs, but we're just not sure about cats. If you're looking for a gentle companion, come meet Nike! He's waiting for you at Berrien County Animal Services at 1400 South Euclid Avenue, Benton Harbor, MI 49022. No appointment necessary to come meet him. His adoption fee, like several of our longer term dogs, is sponsored.

Trigger warning for mention of death, loss and grief. If you have particular sensitivities around these subjects, please consider carefully whether and / or when you might listen to this episode.  Leo's dog, Woody, died just before Christmas.  This episode was recorded in December and the "previous" episode we mention at the beginning was "Furry Friends & Existentialism". We speak about our experiences of bereavement and grief. We talk about navigating the end of life and expand this to speak about other endings, planned and otherwise.   Leo shares some treasured memories of his unique connection with Woody. We wonder about specific aspects of grief from (our) Autistic perspectives, bringing in differences in attunement, attachment and communication. Your comments and feedback are always most welcome.

Meet Hemi! This young kitty came to our shelter last month in need of medical attention as she got her paw stuck in an engine fan belt. Because Hemi's injuries were bad, she had to have her right front leg removed. Hemi is such a loveable kitty and is searching for her forever home, a cozy place where she can snuggle up on a blanket on those cold winter days. Hemi has been spayed and vaccinated. If you’re looking to bring Hemi into your home, her adoption fee is only $20.00. Please call or visit Cass County Animal Control (323 M-62 North, Cassopolis, MI 49031; Phone 269-445-3701) to learn more about this brave and heroic girl, Hemi!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TRIGGER WARNING This episode contains discussions about death, which may be triggering for some listeners. Please listen with care and prioritise your well-being. Leo's dogs join us for this episode and we begin by chatting about our pets. Siana then talks a bit about seasonal sensitivities. We move into speaking about aspects of the transition into sleep at night. From here things get a bit deep as we go onto speaking about Leo's childhood anxieties about death and psychological safety.  It's a quick ending this time due to busy schedules but perhaps we will circle around to this again in future. As always, your comments and reflections are welcome at autisticlicence@gmail.com
