An unmanned aerial vehicle for interacting with a pet. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes a processor-based monitoring device to provide a behavioral assessment of the pet, an activity recommender to select an activity program dependent on the behavioral assessment, a motor mounted on the unmanned aerial vehicle to provide aerial movement based on the activity program, and an activity coordinator to perform a function based on the activity program. The function includes activating feedback outputs upon completion of the activity program.

A hand-held snake snare comprises an elongate hollow rod with a bracket mounted on a proximal end. The bracket mounts a spindle coupled to a motor for rotation of the spindle, which carries a length of cable. A power supply powers the motor to rotate the spindle and shorten or lengthen the unspooled portion of the cable. The rod mounts a block at the distal end and the cable passes through the hollow rod and out an aperture of the block. The free end of the cable is then attached at the block, such that a portion of the cable exiting the rod forms an adjustable loop. A switch connects the motor to the DC power supply, thereby turning the spindle to shorten the third portion of the cable forming the loop, such that an animal can be captured within the loop as a circumference of the loop is reduced.

A chute for immobilizing an animal (e.g. cow) wherein the chute during a hoof-trimming operation or the like. The chute is comprised of an inner wall and an outer wall and a front and rear gate. The inner wall has a rectangular opening near the front thereof with a backing plate having a hole secured over the backside of the opening in the inner wall. A removable pad is comprised of a rectangular frame which fits in the opening in the inner wall. The frame has a flexible cover (e.g. anti-microbial material) secured over its front. An inflatable bladder (e.g. pneumatic inner tube) is inserted through the hole in the backing plate and is positioned within the frame and behind the cover. The bladder is then inflated whereby the bladder expands to produce a pillow-like support for the cow's shoulder while the cow is in the chute.

A laser and string animal toy having a base assembly and an arm assembly comprising a stand post that extends upward from the base assembly and a horizontally protruding flexible member attached to the stand post. A housing is attached to the flexible member. A first actuator assembly is located within the housing and a string attached to the first actuator assembly first actuator assembly moves (via a motor) the string moves around and up and down. The housing also retains a second actuator assembly that produces a downward directed laser dot. The second actuator assembly moves the laser dot across the floor.

The towed roping dummy shock absorption apparatus provides for an apparatus designed to be inserted between a pulling vehicle and a towed roping dummy when practicing team roping from horseback. The apparatus provides for modulation of jerks and forces on the dummy that cause strain on the vehicle, dummy and horse, as well as providing for more consistent speed when being towed.

A pet harness apparatus may include a vest configured to be removably adhered to a pet body. The vest may include a vest interior surface and a vest exterior surface. The apparatus may further include a rigid elongated member, a first attachment mechanism and a second attachment mechanism. The first attachment mechanism may be disposed on the vest exterior surface and the second attachment mechanism may be disposed on the rigid elongated member. The first attachment mechanism may be configured to be removably attached to the second attachment mechanism to enable removable attachment between the vest and the rigid elongated member. Further, a rigid elongated member longitudinal axis may be perpendicular to a pet body length when the first attachment mechanism may be attached to the second attachment mechanism.

A bee displacement assembly provided as a mowing machine with a direct drive operated fan housed inside a housing formed with a funnel leading from an interior space of the housing and terminating in a mouth. The funnel tapers both horizontally and vertically to the mouth such that the mouth approximates a narrow, widened slot. Powering the motor turns the drive shaft that in turn operates the fan, creating a concentrated stream of air inside the fan housing that is channelized in the funnel and emitted out the mouth at an area of uncut vegetation immediately prior to cutting by a cutting deck of the mowing machine.
