So my family laid down this path a couple years ago. Tarp, rock, brick, the works. The path has become overrun with grass and weeds. I'm tired of fucking mowing over bricks and pulling weeds. Does /an/ have any easy ways to kill the grass for good?
Roundup/glyphosate. There's stuff that's longer-lasting but don't apply it anywhere that roots from nearby trees/bushes might travel beneath. Or, if you're worried about the bees (and, really, we should all worry about the bees), you can use a mixture of salt and vinegar with a touch of dish soap to help it stick. 1 gallon regular white vinegar, 1 cup salt, a tablespoon of dish soap. If you use 2 cups of salt, nothing will ever grow there again.

I have to advise against roundup or any other herbicides. In my experience, they're very hard to contain and will end up killing things downstream from where you apply them. The only thing to really do is tear out the stones and redo the path. You might try mulching it this time.
My mother just came home from the vet. got Spike (to the left) X-rayed, lower back and legs.
Apparently it's pretty bad. we may have to put him down. i don't want him to go, /an/, i don't know how to deal with this. he's my pupper. i picked him out, i named him, he's my closest friend i have. i don't want to lose him. how the fuck do i deal with this? we've had him for around 5 years now, he's only 6. he's too fucking young to just be put down. he's still fucking happy. his tail still wags and he still stares at you like a bumbling little retard. i don't want him to die.
>>2161745
i don't know how to deal with this. I've had dogs before and they got put down, but those times were so... sudden. i didn't get to know about it. but now he's right there, it's hard. hard to accept, hard to cope.
I don't understand. What is the problem with the dog?
>>2161783
There's something wrong with his lower back and his left hind leg. supposedly he's in pain from it, but i haven't noticed anything like it from him. he's kind of stiff, though. so i suppose that has to do with it.
i still don't fully understand either.
What is wrong with this cats tail????!
>>2161723
Accident or someone cut it off. That breed shouldn't have a short tail.
>>2161733
I've seen it around with the same tail for weeks. I saw the back, but wasn't quick enough to snap a picture.
From the tip of the tail, I saw dried up blood.
My mom says someone must have burned her tail, but like I said before, i've seen this cat around with this tail long before 4th of july.
>>2161791
Someone most likely tied a quarter stick of dynamite to it then.
Hello /an/ons,
Why do cats bury their shit, do big cats also do this?
General cat shit thread.
Because unlike dogs, they do not use their poop to mark their territory
They do this to hide their whereabouts from predators
I'm pretty sure big cats don't try to hide it as they use it to mark territory and such. Or maybe they do cover their shit so there isn't piles of shit all over their territory.
So it seems like I have an insect nest in my backyard. Stagbeetle, Lucanus cervus to be exact. They're on the endangered species list in my country and I want to keep the nest safe.
What do these things eat and how do I protect them?
What do you mean by nest, OP? Their larvae eat wood. As long as you don't disturb them, they should be just fine.
Dead, moist wood.
Lay off the pesticides.
>>2161673
It's a full blown nest, I've just seen 2 of them having sex. I can transfer the nest to a forest if things go out of hand
Name something more pure than the love of a Golden Retriever?
>>2161526
>not knowing the true loyalty and respect of a Labrador retriever
I feel sorry for you, anon.
Golden retrievers have the purest love but I wish it was more discriminatory. They greet EVERYONE with kisses and butt wiggles
>>2161526
The love of a Labrador Retriever.
Is your house smelly and dirty? is there dog hair everywhere? Have you gotten used to the smell? I'm thinking of getting a dog but not for inside the house.
>>2161503
Get a flock guardian

>I'm thinking of getting a dog but not for inside the house
This just sounds terrible. Dogs like company and a nice, safe house to live in too. Seems cruel to chain them in your backyard so you can keep your house clean and ignore them more easily.
>>2161503
I vacuum often and don't let my dog on the couch or chairs so there isn't any hair on the furniture. Only way to stink up your house is if you're too lazy to clean to begin with.
This guy is hiding outside my house behind a lamp
Please tell me this isn't a brown recluse
also I live in the city of Atlanta
Judging by the web shape, it appears to be one, friend. And they definitely live in Georgia. Kill that shit
My mother called me asking for help with one of her cats. She appears to have had an early pregnancy miscarriage and really needs antibiotics. She used to be able to get that liquid amoxicillin that tastes like bubblegum from her vet for like $15, and it helped with just about everything. But that vet has retired and all the other local vets want around $100 just to see her. My folks just don't have that right now to spend on one vet visit.
Is there anywhere online I can get liquid Amoxicillin without a prescription?
Thanks
Can't she feed the cat Amoxicillin pills?
>>2161449
When I told her I could only find the pills without an RX, she just said it had to be liquid.
From my time living at home I can say none of our family has ever been very successful at getting cats to swallow pills...
>>2161446
Try looking for "Fish Amoxicillin" on Amazon or the like, same works with other antibiotics. Exact same shit you get from the pharmacy.
Rate my Doggo out of 10.
You're going to get a lot of heat for owning a pitbull, but yours is a cutie.
Reminds me of my pitbull, Brutus.
My two doggos
>>2161269
Qt. He reminds me a bit of my doggo. The one on the left clearly. 10/10.
>>2161294
The bandanna is very becoming on him, and very cute eyes. 10/10.
10 months old labradoodle. I know, hybrids are meme breeds or whatever but he's a good pupper.
Help! My leo won't eat and has been very lazy and sleeps a lot. I turned her over and saw her genitals were covered in sand from my tank and are crusted over, what do?
So far ive let her sit in warm water and used a qtip with warm water to wipe out most of the gunk. It's obviously infected
Take it to the vet nigga.
Also it's a cloaca, not genitals.
>>2161244
>sand
What does /an/ think of sea enemies?
>>2161202
I haven't seen mine in over a week.
I don't know what to think.
I think sea enemas are pretty cute
Check out this garden snake I found
What are your thoughts on Ragdolls?
>>2160983
Have one. It's like having a dog. Very loving and like a lot of attention so it's good if someone is home a lot. Ours bugs us to take him for walks.
They look so cute especially when they're cute. I don't know, they look like precious cinnamon rolls.

I'm thinking of getting a pet turtle. Are they high maintenance pets? What's a great turtle to start with? How to keep them clean and comfortable? Do they need supplements? How do turtles show their love for you?
Post your turtles /an/.
>>2160901
This is my japanese slider. He needs a very big enclosure and is quite destructive. You also need to supply him with other equally large rivals so he can fight for dominance.
does anyone just watch the turtles?
Don't get a turtle until you can actually bother to look up required knowledge on them.
Give a dog a berry and you feed him for a day. Teach a dog to berry and you feed him for a lifetime.
If by "a lifetime" you mean however long it takes for him to eat a poison one, yeah.
Build a dog a fire and he'll be warm for the night.
Light a dog on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
Give a dog a bone and you feed him for a day. Teach a dog to bone, and you can film it and sell the footage to perverts on the internet.
