Sask. Indigenous woman creates Pet Treaty Cards

It was on a drive with her sister that Joaney Starblanket got the idea that changed her life for the better, a little over a month ago.

Starblanket said her sister thought it would be funny if pets had their own treaty cards.

“I thought to myself, why not,” she told CTV News.

That “why not” then became a few quick edits on Canva, then a template, then one for her own cat, ‘Goober,’ and Starblanket said it blew her sister away during their next visit.

She shared it with her coworkers in Yorkton, who told her that she had

Pesky plant could become a painful problem for pets

SALT LAKE CITY — If you’re not careful while exploring Utah’s outdoor spaces with your beloved pet, a pesky plant could become a very painful problem.

After a solid water year, parts of Utah are reportedly seeing more Foxtail plants growing.

The name makes it seem like the plant should be soft and fluffy but the weed-like grass has spiky seeds that can become lodged in a pet’s body if they aren’t found right away.

“Because they are arrow-shaped they work their way up a limb or into an armpit or wherever they’ve been attached,” explained Emily Ione-Kinney, a training
