[quote]You have enough tarps for your place?[/quote] Thanks tide, our house is good, and we will get back out there and take care of the neighbors soon as the rain stops. Mostly debris cleanup, some chainsaw work. Elderly lady across the street didn't have quality repairs done after Michael a...
[quote]quote: Here is footage from Marianna FL this morning LINK LINK / Marianna Fl Jan 9 2024 Damn. You can still tell Marianna got ravaged by Michael a few years ago, now this.[/quote] That's the campground I referenced above, less than a mile from me as the crow flies. Eye of Michael...
The 6:30a tornado passed by way too close for comfort here. Ripped siding off the house, lots of neighborhood cleanup needed but we are ok. However I'm hearing it completely destroyed a campground just a mile up the pond. Fatalities expected. ...

[quote]Has anyone else seen this?[/quote] Absolutely. If a breeder doesn't require returning the dog if you can no longer care for it then find another breeder. ...

re: Dog DNA Tests {update page 2]

Embark is considered the more reliable option for breed test. Just know they can only identify breeds in the last few generations...that's how all these merle Frenchies and poodles etc test purebred despite it being clear that someone lied somewhere along the way....
In the end, LVP is still just cheap vinyl floor. It is NOT hardwood. At all. If you're going to go with terrazzo, which sounds like a nice high end option, doing the rest with LVP just seems silly to me. We went engineered hardwood (custom salvaged pecan) as it was recommended over solid har...

Another vote for Advion ant bait, both the granules and the gel. We get fire ants in the house periodically...started with the Terro bait packs and they love the stuff but it wasn't killing them. Sure enough it's not labeled for fire ants. Advion works within days killing the whole nest. ...

PassingThrough, I'm with you until you recommended dogfoodadvisor.com. Maybe as a place to look for recall info but not for nutrition advise. I've fed raw for 15yrs, and cook for my current dog. Anyone interested in going that route should really do some reading on the basics of formulating a ...

In addition to everything caro said, the patellar luxation also makes the dog more susceptible to cruciate ligament tears. You need to go to an orthopedic specialist. You'll also want to line up a PT or rehab vet. Just like in humans, targeted exercises can help maintain muscle mass, ROM, etc t...
We went with Rinnai to replace two tank water heaters. Runs off of a standard 1/2" NG line, super efficient (energy factor .96), 11 gpm, easy install. We've had it almost 5 yrs now, no problems at all. ...

re: Keeping weight on a dog

Posted by shell01 on 4/10/23 at 3:26 am
That's a pretty poor quality dog food. I suggest switching to something more calorically dense (more calories per cup of food), and where the first ingredient isn't some vague "meat and bone meal" Better options at tractor supply include: Victor hi-pro Diamond High energy formula Purina Pro Pl...

re: Predator guard(tree) needed ASAP

Posted by shell01 on 3/23/23 at 3:38 am
Sheet metal cone for now, but of course the tree will grow not to mention predators typically can get to the tree from another tree. This is why they recommend putting boxes on posts not trees, much easier to protect... I'd move them for next year. ...
