Thanks to whoever posted this a while back, people watching is always the best part of the fair.

Anyone else notice a boom in yellow jackets over the past month? (Northwestern mn)

I have about 10 acres of land, and in the last month I've had 3 massive nests pop up practically overnight. One cropped up under my front stairs a little bigger than a football, then when I had that one dealt with by an exterminator, another cropped up in the eves of my old garage within a within a week, almost the same time another popped up 6 feet away on the same side. Which I ended up dealing with myself, because both the exterminator and I thought they were from the same colony. None of the hives were small, all of them were aggressive. Normally I don't care, but they have cropped up in high traffic areas. I also went to a meeting a few weeks ago, which was hosted outside someone's home and there were hundreds all over the yard. The pic is the aftermath of the latest one I had to deal with.

Thought I’d ask here in case anyone knows: why would my Amazon item be sent to Nebraska if it was already in Saint Paul? My location is 2 hours away lol

Came home to dog licking back paw aggressively, callus is falling off, very red/light blood. What to do?

Heartworm recovery question/ advice needed.

Weve got a approx 1 year old mutt rescue that came to us with a negative heartworm test and popped positive for them at our vet. I know it takes time for that to show up. Due to her super high energy and our almost daily 3+ mile walks we opted to try doxycycline intervals to kill the heartworms while being on proheart injections. We thought we were going to get a clean bill of health today but she was positive for heartworms again today. My concern with the shot is that she is a high energy high drive dog. My understanding is that it would mean no walks, play, yard zoomies, squirrel terrorism etc for 60 days. What kind of fun and enrichment can we provide her during this downtime? She is a great dog when she is tired. It is just a lot of work to get her tired.

I ran across this pic this morning...

Happy Whisker Wednesday from Dr. Bigwig MD!

Little Chip has a UTI, keep him in your thoughts. Medication twice a day for 10 days. Still eating and drinking, and doesn’t seem to be that serious thankfully. ❤️

Hmmm can I fit?
