I love animals as much as the next guy...maybe more. It might be the reason I was banned from the petting zoo. If I had my way we'd have 'heavy' petting zoos, but I digress.
It seems to me that there are way more 'service' animals than services needed. Dogs aren't allowed on the bus unless of course it's a seeing-eye dog or something of that nature. Ok, I get it. That's actually a thing. Therapy dogs are a thing too, but now we're treading into ambiguous territory. And who's to say where the line is drawn?
No dogs are allowed at the farmers market...well unless it's a cancer-sniffing dog. Hey, I could get cancer any minute so I need to have the dog with me at all times. I just get a cute little doggy jacket and a tag and now my pet is a necessity while at the library.
And why limit these animals to dogs? How about a gluten-detecting squid? An autism armadillo? If I'm so obese that I can't reach my own backside, l could use a butt-wipe orangutan...um
I think Melania Trump already has one.
I posted this somewhere else, but I can tell (from analytics) not many have seen it.
The time duration is less than a second. Can you imagine what that felt like? Ow!
If for any reason you have to give up your loved pet please call a animal rescue most of which are no kill they will find a good home it's also helpful to tell of it's personally to find the best forever home.and there's no fee or questions
If you live in South Florida, at some point, you can expect any wood structure to be infested with termites. Statistically, after extermination, termites return every 6 to 8 years. I noticed infestation about 2 years ago and spot treated the area with success. It's been on my list to have the house tented again. Delayed with all the moving and construction projects, I finally got around setting an appointment with 'bug man' and this month being the 8th anniversary since I had my house tented, my place is on his scheduled this week.
I met with the supervisor and did a walk through going around the perimeter of the house to see if anything needed to be removed that would prevent the tent from making a proper seal. Some shrubs, loose stones on the walkway and wires leading to my radio antennas. We spent a good part of yesterday clearing out lumber that was left over from a patio slab project and filled the garbage bin, recycle bin and 2 contractor-size garbage bags.
Anything of value that hasn't already been relocated to my condo was moved last night, including guitars, drones and model helicopters! The lock box with spare key is on the doorknob so I don't have to be around (like the last time) when they come to tent the place.
After tenting, I'm told to drop ant killing granules around the perimeter of the structure as ants usually find a way in to feed on dead termites.
If it's not one bug... it's another!

Smaller than the formidable fire ant, and without much in the way of warrior mandibles, or poison barbs, but is spreading in our US Southland, and kicking some fire ant butt. And when they take over a fire ant nest, mostly with chemical and behavioral warfare tactics, some of the bigger ladies stick around, living communally, perhaps in a quasi slave role. The bigger they are, the harder they fall---or something like that.
