A man at a So Cal nudist resort brutally murdered then butchered his married elderly neighbors because he was angry over a hot dog. The couple's beloved Shih Tzu was also among the carnage. An unusual smell turns a missing persons case into a macabre murder, when a man is found lounging out on the couch with his wife's decomposing remains...in several, sealed containers.

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk about digital overwhelm. Are you feeling digitally overwhelmed? So much of our communication these days happens virtually, which inherently feels more performative and high-pressure. If you're already prone to impostor syndrome, you may feel even more like a fraud in these environments. But it doesn't have to be this challenging. My guest this week is Craig Mattson, professor of communication at Calvin University, who shares his research on work culture in our digital age, which inspired his book, Digital Overwhelm: A Mid-Career Guide to Coping at Work. Here we discuss the added stresses and self-doubts that come with communicating virtually. We also explore strategies to maintain confidence, leverage our existing strengths and communicate with greater intentionality.About My GuestProfessor Mattson taught and conducted research for 20 years at Trinity Christian College on the south side of Chicago, where he and his wife brought up four children. Now, having moved to Grand Rapids, Craig and Rhoda enjoy hiking, playing racquetball, and walking their Shih Tzu, an extremely timid creature named Chaucer. Craig writes quite nearly every day of his life and enjoys reading hard books in the company of good-humored folk.~Connect with Craig:Website: https://www.themodeswitch.com/~Connect with Kim and The Impostor Syndrome Files:Join the free Impostor Syndrome Challenge:https://www.kimmeninger.com/challengeLearn more about the Leading Humans discussion group:https://www.kimmeninger.com/leadinghumansgroupJoin the Slack channel to learn from, connect with and support other professionals: https://forms.gle/Ts4Vg4Nx4HDnTVUC6Join the Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/leadinghumansSchedule time to speak with Kim Meninger directly about your questions/challenges: https://bookme.name/ExecCareer/strategy-sessionConnect on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimmeninger/Website:https://kimmeninger.com

Lots of tears on Kelly Ripa's show today as she shared news that her beloved dog that appeared regularly on her show has passed away. Ripa says for the last 17 years the Shih Tzu named Chewie was an amazing companion to her family and losing her has been beyond tough. And President Trump's comments that he wants to take over war torn Gaza and turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East” caused lots of mouths to drop around the world. Many thought he had to be joking, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Plus, with news Donald Trump will be the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, security is being beefed up to a whole new level. More than 2,000 federal agents are working alongside the New Orleans Police Department. And egg prices skyrocketed to as much as 19 dollars a dozen due to bird flu wiping out millions of chickens. Now comes this...thieves stealing 100,000 eggs being transported to grocery stores. The stolen eggs are worth 40,000 dollars. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mark and Andy Hooser discuss everything from Pit Bulls and Shih Tzu's to ElonMusk and Tulsi Gabbard. A fun Monday broadcast to kick off the first full week of 2025. Does Elon Musk really get it when it comes to the right to bear arms? The consensus is yes. Musk would be unable at this point to walk back his firm and publicly made statements in support of the right to bear arms and freedom of speech, much like Tulsi Gabbard. With Dementia Joe Biden signing a flurry of EO's designed to thwart the incoming Trump administration efforts, would he go so far as to move against the 2A with some sort of additional EO before his departure, also?

Join hosts Daniel, Ashlee, and Ashley as they delve into a controversial and heartbreaking incident in Sturgeon, Missouri. The Board of Alderman has launched an administrative investigation into police officer Myron Woodson after he shot and killed a blind and deaf Shih Tzu named Teddy, fearing the dog may have had rabies. In this episode, we'll discuss the body camera footage obtained by KOMU 8, which shows Woodson's encounter with Teddy and the subsequent tragic decision to shoot the dog after several failed attempts to capture it. We'll explore the community's response, including a petition with over 53,000 signatures calling for Woodson's removal and a federal lawsuit filed by Teddy's owner, citing a violation of the Fourth Amendment. We'll also cover the city's announcement of a third-party investigation, the confidentiality of the investigation's details, and the temporary leadership change in Sturgeon following Mayor Kevin Abrahamson's resignation. Tune in to hear more about this emotional case, the legal implications, and the ongoing community impact. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/animalcontrolreport/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/animalcontrolreport/support

While we wait on a jury decision in the Trump trial, we're learning all sorts of things. An update on the Shih Tzu who was shot and killed by a Sturgeon police officer, and Michael Bekesha of Judicial Watch joins us to talk about the big legal cases happening now.

In today's episode, we dive deep with Julie Plagens, author of "Marriage Interrupted" and "Estranged," as she shares her remarkable journey of overcoming family estrangement and healing from Crohn's disease. Julie's story is one of finding faith, setting boundaries, and learning the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. From growing up in a family that shifted from extreme partying to extreme legalism, to walking away from her family for seven years, Julie's path is filled with lessons on navigating family dynamics, mental health, and spiritual growth. Bio: Julie Plagens is a wife, mom, teacher, author, and blogger. Before she married, she taught speech, drama, and English in the Richardson Independent School District. After marriage, Julie homeschooled her two children for a short stint and quickly realized that a school setting was probably better for everyone involved! Julie has volunteered regularly in South Texas doing VBS, construction, and door-to-door witnessing.

Body cam footage is released of the Sturgeon police officer who shot someone's dog earlier this week. The future of property taxes in Boone county, and a State Rep's unimaginable family tragedy.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Canada to discuss one of the country's most tragic stories... the senseless and brutal murder of Victoria "Tori" Stafford. Tori was a spunky little girl who loved Hannah Montana and dressing up for Halloween. Her favorite color was purple, and she had an older brother named Daryn who loved her very much. On April 8th, 2009, Tori was walking home from school when she was approached by 18-year-old Terri-Lynne McClintic, who offered to show her a Shih Tzu puppy. Instead, she and her boyfriend, 28-year-old Michael  Rafferty abducted the little girl, after which she was raped, murdered, and dumped beneath a rock pile in a remote location.

She shares their journeys with the world through compelling and in-depth romance novels. Her heart beats unfairly for an eight-pound Shih Tzu named Nyssa Marie, her first and last pet. She loves to travel anywhere tropical and/or where there is rich pop culture. Belvin believes behind every union between a man and a woman is a story, and she would love to highlight and examine the romance portion of it somehow. Love is a native of the New York Tri-State Area and now lives in the Delaware Valley. She's an avid reader and enjoys dinner parties with her closest girlfriends.

In a particularly engaging episode of "Not Well," hosts Bobby and Jim delve into a rich tapestry of topics, highlighted by Bobby's recent escapades in New York City and Jim's distinct take on several universally relatable subjects. The episode is a vibrant mix of humor, personal stories, and societal observations that listeners have come to love and expect from the duo.Bobby kicks things off with an enthralling recount of his New York City adventures, from the vibrant gay nightlife at the Eagle to an unexpected experience of an earthquake. His stories of freedom, sexual exploration, and candid social interactions in the city's bars provide a deep dive into personal liberation and the complexities of identity expression in such open environments.Jim, not to be outdone, steers the conversation towards a lighter, yet equally thought-provoking direction, discussing the peculiar charm of candy cigarettes. This leads to a nostalgic journey back to childhood, questioning the impact of such products and the oddities of marketing strategies aimed at children.Front porch parties come under Jim's scrutiny next, where he humorously contrasts them with their backyard counterparts, drawing on personal anecdotes to illustrate the unique social dynamics they foster. Jim's reflections are a humorous ode to community gatherings and the subtle societal cues that dictate our social interactions in these spaces.The conversation takes another turn as Jim shares his musings on Shih Tzu dogs, adding a dose of humor to the episode.

Dr. LeBaron, an active marriage and family therapist, sheds light on the emotional and relational dynamics of mixed-faith marriages, and faith transitions in marriage, offering valuable advice for couples to maintain harmony and understanding despite differing faith perspectives. About Carly LeBaron:Dr. Carly LeBaron has a MS and PhD degrees in Marriage and Family Therapy and is a practicing therapist in Logan, Utah. She owns New Beginnings Therapy, a group private practice in Logan, where she specializes in women's mental, emotional, and relational health, faith crisis/faith transition, perfectionism and people-pleasing, eating disorders and body image, couples therapy, and more. She has authored two self-help books, "Shattering the Porcelain: Overcoming Perfectionism and People- Pleasing and Becoming the Real You," and "Some Body to Love: 12 Weeks to a Better Body Image" and offers online courses in mental health through therapyinanutshell.com.

She is married to her best friend, has three amazing sons, and a Shih Tzu named Bandit who is in training to become a therapy animal. Insights: Carly: "Keep in mind that you're suffering in your own way, and your partner’s suffering may be in a different way. So, if you’re able to kind of create a space where it's okay for both of you to be hurting at the same time. It opens up a lot of conversations instead of shutting things down with defensiveness." Dave: "Even if we have differences, we can still be kind. We can still choose to be kind to each other It's challenging but, be respectful of each other and even negotiate when you're negotiating with kids and practices and things. Kindness, kindness. Above all, through this, through the challenges you can still choose to be kind." Liz: "I love that whole idea that validation doesn't necessarily mean agreement. It really just means your perspective matters to me, which really means you matter to me."

Liver shunts (technically called portosystemic shunts) are not that common in dogs, but if you are an aficionado of certain breeds or if your dog develops liver disease, you may find yourself in desperate need of information. Read on to learn all about liver shunts in dogs. What Is a Liver Shunt? First, we need to review some canine anatomy and physiology. A network of veins (called the portal system) drains blood away from the digestive tract. This blood carries nutrients, hormones, and waste material and is supposed to enter the liver before it travels to the rest of the body. The liver takes what it needs to function properly and also detoxifies the blood before sending it onward. A shunt is defined as a passage “that allows the flow of materials between two structures that are not usually connected.” A portosystemic shunt is, specifically, an abnormal blood vessel (or vessels) that connects the “portal” system draining the digestive tract to the “systemic” circulatory system feeding the rest of the body, thereby bypassing the liver. Causes of Liver Shunts in Dogs Liver shunts can be divided into two categories: those that are present at birth (congenital shunts) and those that develop later in life (acquired shunts). Congenital shunts are most common, being responsible for approximately 80 percent of cases. Dogs are usually quite young (less than 3 years old) when they start experiencing symptoms. A genetic cause is known for some breeds and suspected in others. Breeds at higher than average risk for congenital liver shunts include the Yorkshire Terrier, Dachshund, Maltese, Miniature Schnauzer, Lhasa Apso, Bichon Frise, Shih Tzu, Havanese, Toy and Miniature Poodle, Pekingese, Dandie Dinmont Terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, Australian Shepherd, Irish Wolfhound, Old English Sheepdog, Samoyed, Irish Setter, Labrador Retriever, Doberman Pinscher, Golden Retriever, and German Shepherd. Acquired shunts typically develop when blood pressure within the veins connecting the digestive tract to the liver becomes elevated—most often because of diseases that cause liver scarring (cirrhosis). Dogs with acquired liver shunts tend to experience symptoms when they are older in comparison to those diagnosed with congenital shunts. Symptoms of Liver Shunts in Dogs Dogs with liver shunts generally have some combination of the following symptoms: Poor growth (congenital shunts) Poor appetite and/or eating unusual things Weight loss Increased thirst and urination Difficulty urinating or blood in the urine due to the formation of bladder stones Vomiting, which may contain blood Diarrhea, which may contain blood Behavioral changes like mental dullness, staring vacantly, poor vision, unsteadiness, circling, and head pressing   Diagnosing Liver Shunts in Dogs These symptoms are obviously not unique to liver shunts. A veterinarian will start the diagnostic process by taking a complete health history, performing a physical examination, and running some basic tests such as blood work and a urinalysis. If he or she thinks that a liver shunt is likely, additional testing will be necessary to reach a definitive diagnosis. Possibilities include bile acid tests, blood ammonia levels, abdominal X-rays, abdominal ultrasound, and advanced imaging studies. Your veterinarian can discuss the pros and cons of each test with you based on the specifics of your dog's case. Treatment for Liver Shunts in Dogs The type of liver shunt that a dog has and their age and overall condition determines what type of treatment is best. Most small breed dogs who have congenital shunts have just one abnormal blood vessel that is located outside of the liver. These are the most amenable to surgical correction. A single shunt that is located within the liver itself is more common in large breed dogs. These are still usually best treated with surgery, but the procedure is a little more difficult. Dogs with acquired shunts tend to have multiple, abnormal vessels and may be poorer candidates for surgery due to their underlying illness. Surgery for liver shunts centers on blocking the flow of blood through the abnormal vessels so that more of it travels through the liver. This can involve the application of devices specifically designed to do this (e.g., ameroid constrictors or cellophane bands) or tying off the vessels with suture material. Oftentimes, the abnormal vessels cannot be completely blocked off all at once without the dog developing serious side effects like intestinal damage. Ameroid constrictors and cellophane bands are designed to get around this problem since they cause the vessel to narrow over time, which gives the body a chance to adjust. Medical management for liver shunts can be used to improve a dog's condition prior to surgery, when surgery is not in a dog's best interests, or when surgery is unable to entirely correct the problem. Veterinarians typically prescribe a diet that has just enough protein for the dog but no “extra,” which reduces the byproducts of protein digestion (e.g., ammonia) that can make a dog's symptoms worse. Research indicates that soy protein may be a better option in comparison to meat-based sources of protein. Feeding several smaller meals throughout the day is also beneficial. Medications also play an important role in the medical management of liver shunts. Antibiotics are prescribed to reduce the number of bacteria in the gut, and enemas can be given to physically remove feces and bacteria from the colon. Oral lactulose, a type of indigestible sugar, is used to encourage rapid transit of stool through the intestinal tract and to lower the pH within the gut, which reduces the absorption of ammonia. Prognosis for Liver Shunts in Dogs Approximately one-third of dogs with liver shunts can be successfully managed with dietary changes and medications, according to Dr. Karen Tobias, professor of small animal soft tissue surgery and a board-certified surgeon at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. Dogs who have liver shunts that are located outside of the liver and that are surgically corrected using ameroid constrictors or cellophane bands have the best prognosis, with around 85 percent being clinically normal several months after surgery, according to Tobias. In comparison, dogs with shunts that are located within the liver have a greater risk of complications although many still do very well after surgery.

This week, Drewby and Yergy head to Kettering, Ohio, to discuss the case of Erica Baker, a 9-year-old girl who had her whole life ahead of her. On February 7th 1999, Erica set off to Indian Riffle Park with her Shih Tzu, Jamie, after not being able to go to a father daughter dance that was occurring in the park's community center that evening. Hours passed, and day turned to night. Sadly, Erica never made it home that evening. What should have been just a simple outing to the park turned into one of Ohio's biggest unsolved missing persons cases in history.  Support Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/themiserymachine PayPal: https://www.paypal.me/themiserymachine Join Our Facebook Group: https://t.co/DeSZIIMgXs?amp=1 Instagram: miserymachinepodcast Twitter: misery_podcast Discord: https://discord.gg/kCCzjZM #themiserymachine #podcast #truecrime Source Material: https://www.namus.gov/MissingPersons/Case#/4455/contacts https://www.missingkids.org/poster/ncmc/860119/1 https://dayton247now.com/podcast/missing-erica-baker/missing-erica-baker-christian-gabriels-written-confession#https://int-missing.fandom.com/wiki/Erica_Baker https://www.doenetwork.org/cases/2499dfoh.html https://charleyproject.org/case/erica-nicole-baker https://www.wdtn.com/news/local-news/bring-erica-home-the-journey-to-find-erica-baker-24-years-later/ https://dayton247now.com/news/local/exclusive-missing-erica-baker-podcast-led-authorities-to-search-local-park https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/accused/2021/06/10/backstory-erica-baker-still-missing-after-1999-disappearance/7210154002/ https://mercercountyoutlook.net/2018/02/08/the-mystery-of-erica-baker-continues-after-18-years/https://www.playkettering.org/locations/indian-riffle-park/ https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/news/2021/04/06/equusearch-midwest-kettering-police-searching-9-year-old-missing-since-1999/7103320002/ https://www.fox19.com/2021/04/06/texas-equusearch-midwest-search-year-old-missing-since/ https://www.whio.com/news/local/24-years-later-kettering-police-continue-investigation-into-erica-bakers-disappearance/7LDYLUN4FJHKPMHHUKR4SCFSPM/ https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/chapter-1-neighborhood-kids/id1630167488?i=1000567367269 https://www.wsbradio.com/on-demand/beyond-criminal-headlines-detective-bob-green-disappearance-erica-baker/MNSHLMCAMBESRB7MMYSIXYAUBM/ https://myfox28columbus.com/news/local/latest-podcast-episode-of-missing-erica-baker-released https://www.wgauradio.com/on-demand/beyond-criminal-headlines-detective-bob-green-disappearance-erica-baker/MNSHLMCAMBESRB7MMYSIXYAUBM/ https://local12.com/news/local/24-years-later-hope-remains-a-constant-in-search-for-erica-baker-kettering-ohio-missing https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/accused/2021/06/10/backstory-erica-baker-still-missing-after-1999-disappearance/7210154002/ https://www.pollyklaas.org/missing-children/erica-baker/ https://dayton247now.com/podcast/missing-erica-baker/missing-erica-baker-chapter-3-do-you-ever-lie
