Great news John, he should settle in easily then. :)

 

I LOVE the carboniferous scale of your flowers and dragon fly 58er, excellent yard art!

Now if he really wants to go High Carb....the multiyard long centipedes will help deter visitors!  (Higher Oxygen % in the atmosphere---35%)

Shouldn't that be "carboniferrous"?

And since when does scale contain carbon?

All the scales on the rattlesnakes around these parts contain carbon; now the rasptlesnakes....

Wow, that e-scale-ated quickly.

They've tried to reproduce this in controlled environments with modern insects and they reach a point of diminishing returns. They did grow some big cockroaches and fleas  though. The only Raid these bugs feared was a SEAL team raid.

Pnut

Mr. Pnut,

Some tropical cockroach species are very large. Surprisingly so. And the tropical variety fly. (ask a Floridian about flying roaches).

But you are right the roaches in the Carboniferous age were truly enormous.

Lt. Col. Evans F Carlson had not put together the marine raiders yet. (i.e. the progenitor to all Seal Teams). So Aly Oop was out of luck.

SLAG.

p.s.  Frosty, it was too early for flowering plants. They evolved later.

There's big red cockroaches that fly in Cincinnati/northern KY. No need to go any further south.

Pnut

Mr. Pnut,

That'll save me a longer trip.

SLAG.

T.P.,

Yumm !

SLAG.

 

Of course down here they have some chiles that are probably listed specifically in the Geneva Convention. (Probably somewhere between Mustard gas and Dumdum bullets...)

a sensitive stomach

Our Vet recommends giving canned pumpkin (not pie filling) to relieve stomach problems. It gives them some needed fiber and our dogs love it (about a tablespoon) mixed in with their regular food.

Yes, we’ve added canned pumpkin and boiled white rice to his diet, along with a little yogurt.

Thanks 

Old fashioned rolled oats work a treat. Flaxseed is also great for dogs, especially there coat. All 3 of mine love them both.

A little over 2 months ago we lost our German Shepherd Harley to cancer, he was almost 16.  Today we got adopted by a new rescue, she is named Ada and she is only 2.  An Australian Cattle Dog mix that has been waiting for nearly 6 months, Glad to have her in my life

Awww. She looks like such a sweetie.  Give her lots of hugs and belly rubs from the Moose herd. 

And remember.  Life is better in the puppy pile. 

Congratulations on your new addition Steve! She's a pretty girl and looks so happy

She has a look in that photo that say I'm going to be a right handful but I'm so cute that you will forgive me anything. 

My black cat named Rascal always stares at me through the deck door when I’m pounding on hot metal. I’ll take a photo the next time he does it, my neighbors get xxxxx if I’m blacksmithing past 7...

Then plan on making less noise after 7 ish.  Reduce the ring of the anvil, then try to reduce the other noises that may bother them such as grinding etc. You may want to set up a temporary noise deflector between the noise source and the neighbor such as a piece of plywood at an angle.

Depending on the neighbor, a small piece offering of metal works wonders.  If the neighbor is interested, then invite them over to play in the fire with you. Try to keep on good terms with the neighbors to make things easier on everyone.

Chewy is camera shy

Unless he is dressed up for the occasion. :)
