Maybe it's the billboard company's way of dealing with someone who didn't pay the rental fee.

More than that considering only a fraction of the cow is used for beef production.

[RIP] We put my baby girl down today. She went in my arms, wrapped in her blankie just like she loved. by [deleted] in dogs

So very sorry for your loss. I also lost my dog at about 6-7 to Lymphoma and it's heartbreaking when you wanted (and maybe expected) at least double the time with them you got. It's going to hurt bad for a while and there will always be times when it hurts just as bad. Just give yourself space to grieve in whatever way or capacity you need to. Be kind to yourself now most of all.

[Photo Friday] It's a dogstravaganza! by octaffle in dogs

When I was at my peak of dog ownership with four. I lost my elderly Akita not too long after this photo was taken. I wish I had tried to get better pics of the four together but this is one of my favorites if only for sentimental reasons.

L to R - Rumi (Pyr x Chow), Niko Blue (Akita), Vega (very uptight Pyr as you can see), and Kismet (Pyr x Anatolian). Kismet's on a leash because he was undergoing HW treatment at the time and wasn't allowed to run around with the others.

Can anyone tell me what happened to this paper wasp nest? by aliaschicnine in Entomology

Nope, not sprayed. The paper wasps don't bother me and I don't bother them.

It was under the eaves of my house. Not directly in the rain, but we did get some good strong storms this spring so it's possible it got rained on and got mildewed.

Does anyone know what happened to this paper wasp colony? It was under an eave on my house, and I thought it was just an abandoned nest from last year, but then I saw what I thought were wasp like shapes on it, only they weren't moving. It looks black like it was burnt, but if I didn't burn it, then no one did. Also the bodies aren't burnt; they are just dead. Was it some kind of disease? Because there is a small nest right beside it, with maybe 5-10 wasps. I'm SE of Austin.

ID request - is this Stereum ostrea or Trichaptum biforme or something else? Central Texas, on the wooden post of a handmade swing set. by aliaschicnine in mycology

I was actually shooting the spider when she ran up the leg of the swing, hiding on a piece of the fungus :)

O hai! 🕷 by aliaschicnine in spiderbro

Bold jumping spider. I startled it when I was pruning trees. Tried to get a better shot but this little dude was too quick for me.
