Tips for pet safety during cold weather

SUMMARY: The Humane Society of South Mississippi is offering shelter to homeless individuals and their pets to protect them from the cold. They advise pet owners to bring their animals inside when going outside, provide them with warm sweaters, and protect their paw pads from frostbite and hypothermia. Dogs like Star, a pitbull terrier mix, are especially vulnerable to the cold and need to be kept inside during prolonged periods of cold weather. The shelter urges people to understand that if it’s too cold for them, it’s too cold for their pets, with exceptions being Arctic-type dogs like huskies or malamutes. They emphasize the need for the community to keep pets safe in cold weather.

SUMMARY: Meteorologist Taylor Graham forecasts warm and humid weather for South Mississippi following Easter Sunday. Overnight, coastal temperatures will remain in the low 70s, while inland areas may drop to the upper 60s. A cold front approaching from the north could trigger hit-or-miss showers and storms on Monday and Tuesday, especially west of Highway 49. Daytime temperatures will rise into the low to mid 80s, with high humidity making it feel warmer. By the weekend, a ridge of high pressure is expected, leading to sunnier conditions and temperatures in the mid to upper 80s, with decreasing rain chances.

Expert Talk - Senior Medicare Patrol (Telehealth Fraud)

www.youtube.com – WXXV 25 – 2025-04-18 13:37:08

SUMMARY: In this episode of WXXV’s Expert Talk, host Michelle Eubank welcomes Danielle Gillery from Senior Medicare Patrol to discuss telehealth, which gained prominence during the COVID pandemic. Telehealth allows patients to consult with doctors via video calls rather than in person. However, telehealth fraud occurs when individuals are billed for services from providers they’ve never interacted with, such as cases where nurses, rather than doctors, diagnose readings. Gillery advises viewers who suspect fraud to contact Medicare or the Senior Medicare Patrol for assistance. The organization provides resources to help resolve billing issues and combat scams.

SUMMARY: The St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway supports families like Charlie’s, who benefited from the hospital’s free treatment for bone cancer. In 2020, after Charlie injured his shoulder, a specialist at St. Jude diagnosed him with Ewing sarcoma, leading to 14 rounds of chemotherapy and a limb-sparing surgery. The treatment, costing $2 million, was entirely free for the family, including housing, gas, and food. Now 15, Charlie helps raise millions for St. Jude and continues regular check-ups. The Dream Home Giveaway not only offers a chance to win a house but also supports the life-saving work at St. Jude.
