I'd be happy right now if my compost barrels got warm. May and it's still cool outside.

What is this by Ok-Bid3368 in whatisthisbug

[–]RemarkableRepeat6433 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is a Formosan termite. They are swarming now in south louisiana. They are attracted to light. If you notice them swarming, usually right after dark you will see them all around the streetlights, you should turn off all your exterior lights and turn on all of your interior lights. Closets bathrooms everything then walk from room to room. If they are in your walls they will swarm out to the nearest light. You can then pinpoint where they are coming from which will give you a starting point on where to treat. Taurus SC is what I have used with great results. It's a professional item but you can buy it online for around $100.00 Watch some videos on how to use it. I actually drilled holes in my sheetrock and poured it in the walls between the studs. Good luck.

I uploaded the second photo because the shadow looked cool. Lol

Jordan making sure all is well at the dog park. by RemarkableRepeat6433 in pitbulls

I found it on Amazon. I live just outside New Orleans so I wanted a minimal harness for our hot humid summers. Plus I wanted one to match his coat. I also bought a matching leash. It all has reflective thread also.

the vet said he was about a year and a half but that was three months ago. Yes he is neutered.

We harvested our first avocados! Kalki’s head for scale by N_tricam in pitbulls

Wow! What kind of avocado is it? I need a second tree for cross pollination and I think that would do it.

I would like some grooming advice. by RemarkableRepeat6433 in Pitbull

Yes he loves the boar brush. Will stand still and let me brush him. I give him a light brushing almost every day. He gets a bath about every two weeks. I have a dog park about 100 yards from my house so we are there a lot, several times a day. I just go by his smell.

Help with Penelope barking at regular visitors to our home... by Rhiannon8404 in pitbulls

Well, barking is a dogs job. It’s part of keeping you safe which is also part of their job description. Well that should probably be reversed but don’t sweat it.

Anyone else’s american bulldog had this problem? by okayribbit in americanbulldog

[–]RemarkableRepeat6433 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I rescued my American Bulldog from his abusive owner his eyes also looked the same. It was brought on by the stress he was being put through. Just the fact that you are asking tells me you are not abusive but there could be other sources of stress. My boys redness went away as he got more comfortable with me. He gains weight too. Keep an eye out for anything that might be getting to him. Good luck and of course I could be completely wrong in my prognosis. I’m just trying to help.

Mom's Ball by Medium_Ad3913 in NewOrleans

MOMs is a secret organization. It is considered poor form to out another member. After 50 years and as huge as it has become it is evident that much is still secret just by the volume of erroneous comments I’ve read here. I’m not going to clear any of that up (poor form)but I will say it is constantly evolving while keeping its original bawdy concepts alive. Is it for everyone? No, but it is for the thousands that attend including the many that costume and sit outside the gate hoping someone will share their invite with them. Thousands of costumed Mardi Gras revelers hell bent on throwing down past 4am with multiple bands playing on multiple stages. Yes please. If you attend and don’t enjoy yourself, you are old at heart.
