On my way to work as a vet technician a few weeks ago, I saw what looked like a sock or shirt laying in the road. I didn’t think much of it.
About 15 minutes later a woman came in holding a box and said she found a kitten on the road, and she thinks it is still alive. My heart sank knowing I drove right past this sweet girl without thinking twice. I took her into the exam room and the doctor decided she may have a broken jaw and some head trauma. We administered a steroid injection, subcutaneous fluids, pain medication, and started her on antibiotics.
The first two days were not great for her. She was in some pain and could not hold her head upright. On day 3, she was starting to improve, she was less stuffy, her head was upright, and she was eating well from a syringe.
I decided to take her home and continue her care there, and bring her to work with me every day. Since then this little girl has blossomed into quite the firecracker! She is still syringe feeding, as she is only about 4 weeks old, maybe 5, and she loves to chase my feet when I walk!
If it weren’t for the woman finding her, this little girl wouldn’t have stood a chance out there along the road. My husband decided to name her Nook, and she is settling in quite well at home with our three other cats.
Uncover the Secret Features of Your iPhone’s Volume Buttons
Unlocking the Full Potential of Your iPhone’s Volume Buttons
Many of us are familiar with the iPhone, and its evolution over the years has been impressive. With just three physical buttons, the iPhone’s volume controls offer far more than basic sound adjustment. These buttons perform a range of other functions, enhancing your iPhone experience in unique ways. Let’s explore the hidden capabilities of these versatile controls.
1. Capturing Photos and Videos
Your iPhone’s volume buttons can act as a convenient shutter for photos and videos. In any camera mode—such as portrait, panorama, or standard—a simple press of either volume button snaps a photo. For video recording, press once to start and press again to stop. On newer iPhones, holding the volume up button activates burst mode, capturing multiple photos quickly.
2. Scanning Documents with Ease
Avoid on-screen controls when scanning documents. In apps like Files, Mail, Notes, and Reminders, you can use the volume buttons to quickly initiate a scan. A single press captures your document, making document management faster and more efficient.
3. Managing Alarms Simply
If you struggle to wake up in the morning or need a few extra minutes, the volume buttons offer an easy way to manage alarms. Pressing either volume button can snooze or dismiss alarms, making mornings a bit easier without reaching for on-screen options.
4. Quick Access to Emergency Services
In urgent situations, your iPhone’s volume buttons can be life-saving. Press and hold the side button along with either volume button to bring up the emergency SOS screen. Swiping the SOS icon calls emergency services, even when your phone is locked.
5. Restarting a Frozen iPhone
When your iPhone becomes unresponsive, the volume buttons offer a quick fix. To force a restart, press the volume up button, then the volume down button, and hold the side button until your iPhone reboots. This hardware reset can help resolve issues when a standard restart isn’t working.
6. Temporarily Disable Face ID or Touch ID
If you need extra security in a particular moment, you can quickly disable Face ID or Touch ID. Press and hold the side button along with either volume button for two seconds. This action locks your phone, requiring your passcode to unlock it, which can enhance your privacy when needed.
7. Silencing Calls Instantly
In situations where you need to silence an incoming call or mute vibrations discreetly, press either volume button. This will silence ringtones or vibrations in silent mode, allowing you to manage calls quickly and quietly.
