Rip Snorter Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 2 minutes ago, Eyesa Horg said: My wife has a cousin in Tucson Arizona. She says you need to lift the sheets before getting in bed as there may be a scorpion under the covers. My question is, "What the hell makes you think one won't crawl in after you fall asleep?" I wouldn't sleep! She says the same about shoes in the morning! Folks who are freaked about it have the bed legs set in bowls of water! Apparently, there is only one really bad one here, the bark scorpion, which I never even heard of. I ran into them in the southwest a couple of times, usually on patios of entertainment venues in the evening - these boots are made for stompin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ticks are something that I've never gotten used to Eyesa...hate 'em, over here on the East Coast we have paralysis ticks that kill dogs and cats. They aren't great for humans either and will knock a horse or cow about badly. The native wildlife are immune to their poison. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the mouse plagues come out West (the ground literally moves with millions of mice) people try things like that to stop mice climbing up bed legs. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can buy pills that keep fleas, ticks, and mites off my dogs for several months at a time.

They do a number on moose up here, many die over the winter because they will accumulate 50 thousand or more on them and they rub all their fur off and starve as well. It's a shame.

Ours didn't like the liquid, it make her flip over and squirm all over the carpet trying to get it off. I presume it may have burned. She liked the chewables until this year, now we have to break them up and slip em in her food. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogs are greedy, so use her greed against her. Tear a slice of ham into 3 pieces. Wrap the chew around one of them. Show her a piece of ham without the chew in it and give it to her. As soon as she has it, let her taste then show her the piece with the chew wrapped in it. She'll gobble the 1st piece down to get the 2nd piece. As soon as she takes it, show her the 3rd piece. She'll swallow the ham and the chew to get the another piece of ham. Cheese works well, too. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyesa Horg Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Our previous Rottweiler was like that. She ate her supper like someone was gonna steal it. But hide a pill in it...... She'd woof the food in 3.2 seconds and the pill would be left in the bott of a sparkling bowl. I don't know how they do it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 What does an article about Johnny Depp getting divorced have to do with dogs? I noticed it said that he smuggled his dogs into Australia (I presume y'all have a quarantine, like England does?), but his being drunk and stoned for most of his life doesn't seem to have much to do with dogs.

Alpo Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 He posted the picture of a long haired rat dog, and then another picture of a blue dog. Then you talked about a Rottweiler. Then he said "these are fun to swim with". I thought it was going to be another type of dog. That's why I was confused with Johnny Depp - what did he have to do with dogs? I was lost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Uncle Alpo, .... Mister depp-stick and his Significant Other came to Australia and brought their 2 dogs with them. This was against our Quarantine Laws. The dogs were impounded and almost "put down", .... per our Quarantine Laws. Big-ish hoohaa about it all. I don't think they will be allowed back here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
