Rabies Vaccine Requirements in New Jersey: What Pet Owners Need to Know

Rabies is a fatal viral disease that moves from wildlife to domestic animals — and potentially to people — with little warning. In New Jersey, rabies occurs most often in wildlife, particularly raccoons, bats, skunks, groundhogs, and foxes. Keeping your pet vaccinated is one of the most direct ways you can protect both your household and your community from that risk. Whether you just adopted a puppy, recently moved to the Garden State, or simply want to make sure you are following the […]

Rabies Vaccine Requirements in Ohio: What Pet Owners Need to Know

Ohio stands apart from most of the country when it comes to rabies vaccination law — and if you own a dog, cat, or ferret here, that distinction matters more than you might expect. Ohio is one of only a few states in the country and the only state east of the Mississippi that does not have a statewide requirement for dogs to be vaccinated for rabies. That does not mean your pet is off the hook, though. Depending on where you live, a local ordinance may require vaccination just as firmly as […]

Rabies Vaccine Requirements in Indiana: What Every Pet Owner Needs to Know

If you own a dog, cat, or ferret in Indiana, rabies vaccination is not optional — it is a legal obligation backed by state statute and administrative code. Indiana is one of the stricter states in the country on this issue, with no medical exemptions recognized under state law and no age-based exceptions once your pet reaches three months old. Understanding exactly what the law requires, who can administer the vaccine, what happens after a potential exposure, and what penalties you may […]

Blackhawk

Vi har en lille læseklub på arbejdspladsen, hvilket fører til interessante læseoplevelser – både nye og gensyn. Her i dag blev det til Grete Roulunds “Blackhawk” (og jeg sværger, at det ikke var mig, der foreslog titlen, selv om efterordet i Gladiators udgave har et meget tydeligt sammenfald med undertegnede).

Og hvilket forunderligt gensyn det var!

Roulund er en af de forfattere, som formår at skrive historier, der nødigt hæfter sig i min hukommelse på handlingsplanen, men lander med stor effekt på oplevelsesplanet. Med andre ord: jeg glemmer hurtigt, hvad der egentlig sker i hendes bøger, men jeg husker læsningen af dem med glæde. Det samme er tilfældet med “Blackhawk”, der på overfladen er bedragerisk enkel – to mænd sneet ind i en hytte i Alaska.
Det starter som Jack London møder Hemingway, og sød musik opstår. To mandemænd, der overlever under hårde forhold og drikker whisky og snakker om livet – gengivet i korte, hårde sætninger og samtaler. Noget, man kunne finde i “bøger for mænd”. Og så drejer det af på den mest uskyldige vis – en hare i sneen. Men den har røde øjne, og den bider Blackhawk, den ene af mændene. Og så begynder situationen at spidse til – måske havde den rabies? Stationen sender modgift, men noget går galt. Ja, alt går galt i en langsom, uafvendelig lavine. Den anden mand, Keagan, forsøger at holde humøret oppe, men ulykkerne ligger som en dyne af sne over dem.

Genlæsningen bød især på en overraskelse over, hvor meget drive der er i den lille roman – det, der havde fæstnet sig i denne læser, var billederne af de to mænd i hytten, der langsomt synker ned i hundegalskab eller blot galskab, men uden om det er der en voldsom kamp – mod omstændighederne, mod andre mennesker og ikke mindst mod de indre dæmoner, der stikker næserne op efter et stykke tid. Roulund manipulerer på mesterlig vis med læseren og holder én ude af balance hele vejen igennem.

Stort set hele Roulunds forfatterskab er værd at læse, men jeg har personligt en forkærlighed for de korte, knivskarpe romaner tidligt i karrieren, og “Blackhawk”, hendes anden roman, står dystert barberbladsskarpt imellem dem. Endog stærkere, end jeg huskede. Anbefalet for enhver, der tør.
