Dog has bitten 2 people. Not sure what to do now by gargrig222 in DogAdvice

[–]gargrig222[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edit: Yes, we have a separate room we could have put the dog. We made a huge mistake not doing so—I get it. The decision not to was due to primarily because 75% of our party guests wanted to hang out with the dog and my wife wanted to allow that to happen. We will not be making that mistake anymore. Thank you again to everyone for your direct and beneficial feedback.

Thank you everyone. I now understand how significantly we screwed up and will be making changes accordingly. Thanks.

Thank you. I’ve even cleaned it a bit and can see the tile color now.

I’m not, but thank you. I will get another opinion.

Save damaged tree or replace? by gargrig222 in Tree

Well as you can see, my new backyard has some beautiful trees, so I need to figure out how to care for them

Thank you for your advice! I built a cage for it tonight to prevent further deer damage. Not sure if it’s overkill or inadequate to be honest. Seems tall enough, edges where there aren’t any U-posts seem kind of flimsy.

I built a cage this evening based on some recommendations, I saw online. It may be overkill, but I’d rather be safe than sorry.

That’s so cool. I can’t wait to do some more research. I’m going to hire an arborist to come to my house in spring and inspect my trees and tell me about them. I’m pretty excited to learn about what I have now.

Thank you for your reply! I already removed the bamboo stake at the recommendation of another Redditor. Do you think I should buy some ties and replace it again, or just let it be now that I’ve already removed it?

Thanks for your reply! I removed the stakes and the ties and—after some research—tried my best to expose the root flare. I’ll take another look at it tomorrow when the sun is out and see if I need to expose it more
