Cool Plant: Arundinaria gigantea

Giant River Cane

This plant is extra special! Not only is it one of three members of the genus Arundinaria, which together are North America's only native bamboo, it also once formed extensive bamboo forests in the American Southeast known as canebrakes, where the bamboo stalks could exceed 30 feet tall! The bamboo forests are thought to have covered 10 million acres of the southeastern United States.

River cane grows in damp areas such as low-lying woods and the edges of creeks, and has incredible abilities for resisting erosion and filtering contaminants from groundwater. It is a fire dependent species, and canebrakes were maintained by Native Americans using controlled burns. Native American peoples such as the Cherokee and the Choctaw used the river cane as a super tough all purpose crafting material for everything from flutes and blowguns to baskets, backpacks, mats and bed frames.

Nowadays, it mostly only exists in small patches along fences and in ditches, where it usually grows no taller than 10 feet or so. Since it grows in large clonal colonies and only produces seeds once before the entire patch dies, it is hard for it to reproduce these days. The destruction of the canebrakes by colonists' cattle, plowing, and neglect of the caretaking practices are thought to have helped drive the Carolina parakeet and passenger pigeon to extinction.

Many other species depend on the Arundinaria bamboos to live: there are at least 9 butterfly and moth species that use it as a host plant, and some of the rarest plants in the Southeast, including the Venus flytrap, are often found in remaining fragments of canebrakes.

How to Get Rid of Dog Fleas

Fleas are a nuisance. These tiny, blood-sucking parasites irritate your dog and infest your home—often before you realize that fleas have moved in. Many dogs are allergic to flea bites, which can cause intense scratching, red and flaky skin, scabs, hot spots, and hair loss. Fleas can also cause tapeworms and anemia.

Fleas prefer animal hosts but will resort to biting people when animals are unavailable. They can transmit germs that cause disease by feeding on hosts or through fecal contamination (when infected flea feces are scratched into an open wound).

If you and your dog are scratching your heads, and you’re wondering how to kill dog fleas, we’ve got you covered. Here are the four steps you need to take to eliminate these unwelcome freeloaders.

1. Understand the Flea’s Life Cycle

The first step is understanding the enemy. Fleas go through four life cycle stages:

Egg

Larva

Pupa

Adult

The adults live on animals like your dog, where they digest blood and lay their eggs. One female flea can lay up to 2,000 eggs. These eggs hatch in 1-10 days and spread throughout your home and yard every time your dog scratches, shakes, or lies down.

They then hatch into larvae that can move on the host and feed on blood and flea dirt (digested blood from the adult fleas). During the pupa stage, they form cocoons, where they wait for several days or up to one year—preferably for the fleas in the comfort of your carpet, sofa, or bed—until a warm-bodied host appears. Then they hatch, become adults, and infest their animal hosts, such as your dog.

It’s important to know about these stages because different flea treatments for dogs address different parts of the flea’s life cycle, so make sure you read the label of any flea elimination products and follow the directions before use.

2. Prevention and Treatment

The best way to deal with fleas is prevention. Flea and tick preventatives kill fleas that come in contact with your dog, preventing your pup from bringing them home in the first place. There are several options out there, from flea collars to topical liquid applicants and pills. Talk to your vet about the flea preventative that is safest and right for your puppy or dog.

If your dog already has fleas, these preventatives will still kill them, but you may need to take more aggressive action, like a prescription preventative. You can also use a flea shampoo or a fast-acting chemical treatment, such as a flea pill that kills the fleas on your dog within hours. Again, it’s important to ask your dog’s veterinarian for recommendations.

3. Get Fleas Out of Your Home

Killing the fleas on your dog is just one part of the problem. You also need to determine how to get rid of fleas in your home. This requires patience. It can take as long as three to four months to get rid of an infestation, as it takes this long for all of the fleas in your home to go through their life stages.

Here are the steps you need to take to eradicate fleas in your home:

Wash all dog beds and soft dog toys in hot, soapy water. Repeat this frequently until the infestation has ended.

Wash your own bedding, throw rugs, bath mats, and any blanket or cushion where your dog likes to sleep in hot water.

Vacuum all carpets, hardwood floors, linoleum and tiled floors, curtains, and upholstered furniture, and throw away the vacuum bag immediately in an outside garbage bin. You will need to vacuum on a regular basis to be sure all of the stages are addressed.

Choose and apply an environmental flea control spray or fogger that will treat all stages of fleas, or call a local exterminator.

Choose and apply a spray, pellet, or nontoxic flea treatment for your yard. Keeping grass and brush short will also make your yard less inviting to fleas and ticks. Patch fences to discourage raccoons, rabbits, and other wildlife that carry fleas from coming into your yard.

If your dog has ridden in your car lately, you should vacuum the seats.

Continue to treat your dog and any other pets with a monthly preventative.

During flea season, don’t let your dog interact with strange dogs. Be sure any puppy playmates are free of fleas.

4. Talk to Your Veterinarian

When in doubt, call in the experts. Ask your veterinarian about how to get rid of fleas on dogs, as vets are up-to-date on the latest flea treatments and preventatives and can help you find the best and safest treatment option for you and your dog.

Title: Rainy Day Car Care: How to Safeguard Your Vehicle in Wet Weather

Introduction:

Rainy days can be challenging for car owners, as the combination of wet roads, reduced visibility, and potential water damage poses risks to your vehicle. However, with a few proactive steps and careful maintenance, you can protect your car from the effects of rainy weather. In this article, we will provide valuable tips to help you safeguard your vehicle and ensure it stays in optimal condition during wet conditions.

Maintain a Clean Exterior:

Regularly washing your car is crucial to protect its exterior from dirt, grime, and corrosive elements carried by rainwater. Additionally, applying a protective wax coating will help repel water and prevent water spots, keeping your car looking pristine. Pay attention to the undercarriage as well, as it is susceptible to debris buildup. A clean exterior will minimize the risk of damage caused by contaminants present in rainwater.

Check and Maintain Wipers:

Your windshield wipers play a vital role in maintaining visibility during rainy weather. Inspect the wiper blades for signs of wear or damage, such as cracking or splitting. Replace worn-out blades promptly to ensure efficient water clearance from the windshield. Additionally, make sure your wiper fluid reservoir is filled with a rain-specific formula to effectively remove grime and provide clear visibility.

Ensure Proper Tire Traction:

Wet roads can be slippery, compromising your car's traction and handling. Regularly check your tire tread depth and condition to ensure adequate grip on wet surfaces. Consider switching to all-season or rain-specific tires for improved performance. Properly inflated tires also contribute to better traction, so monitor and maintain the recommended tire pressure levels. Good tire traction is essential for safe driving in rainy conditions.

Protect the Interior:

Water damage can affect your car's interior if rainwater finds its way inside. Inspect the rubber seals around doors, windows, and the trunk for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged seals promptly to prevent water leaks. It's also advisable to use waterproof seat covers or invest in water-resistant floor mats to protect the upholstery and carpets from moisture. Dry out any wet spots immediately to prevent mold or mildew growth.

Park in Safe Locations:

When parking during rainy weather, opt for sheltered areas whenever possible. A covered parking spot, such as a garage or carport, will protect your vehicle from direct exposure to rain. If covered parking is unavailable, look for spots that offer some protection, such as under trees or other structures. Avoid parking near areas prone to flooding or beneath trees with overhanging branches that could potentially cause damage.

Drive with Caution:

Rainy conditions require cautious driving to ensure your safety and the well-being of your vehicle. Reduce your speed and maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, as it takes longer to stop on wet roads. Avoid sudden maneuvers and hard braking, as they can lead to skidding or loss of control. Additionally, be mindful of hydroplaning, which occurs when your tires lose contact with the road surface due to a layer of water. If hydroplaning happens, release the accelerator and steer straight until traction is regained.

Post-Rain Inspection and Maintenance:

After driving in the rain, take the time to inspect your car for any signs of damage. Check for water accumulation in the trunk, footwells, or other areas. Dry out any wet spots and address potential leaks promptly. Also, inspect your vehicle's undercarriage for signs of rust or corrosion that may have occurred due to exposure to water and road salt. If you notice any issues, consult a professional mechanic for necessary repairs.

Conclusion:

By implementing these car care tips, you can effectively safeguard your vehicle during rainy weather. Maintaining a clean exterior, ensuring proper visibility, and protecting the interior are all crucial steps. Additionally, cautious driving, parking in safe locations, and post-rain inspections contribute to keeping your car in optimal condition. Remember, regular maintenance and timely repairs will help extend the life of your vehicle and ensure it remains reliable even in wet weather conditions. With these precautions, you can confidently navigate rainy days while safeguarding your prized possession. for any service visit- shaktiautomobiles.com

Bundle of Joy || Shattered Glass

I have nothing I can give But this chance that you may live

She was so small. Small, sickly looking and she barely cried. Perceptor’s hands trembled as his vision blurred only halfway and he held her close to a chest and let off so small a sound it almost didn’t exist.

“I... I can’t- I can’t be who she needs I can’t-”

Springer’s hand was heavy on his shoulder, gauntlet claws tapping the bare skin uncovered by a medical gown.

“Then give her to someone who can.”, he crooned in the sniper’s ear, “I found a place, she’ll be safe and she won’t know danger or pain... Trust me, just this once.”

“O-Okay.”, said Perceptor with a soft sob, “Promise me, promise me He won’t find her.”

“He won’t.”

Prowl smiled as he listened over the muted commline Springer left open, and began to open lines of searching and containment.

Laudanum looked down, feeling something sour in her throat as she opened her handcomm next to the speaker port in the door leading to Mimosa.

She swallowed something like battery acid as Prowl’s voice, crackly and faded from the sheer quantum distance of connection, began to speak.

::It figures, with her parentage, that she'd fail. All my work- wasted. Pathetic. Laudanum, I am transferring leadership to you; consider your... sibling to be damaged assets and cut her free.::

“Are you sure, sir? What of her assets?”

::They’ll self destruct in time- I’ve had a contingency in place. She has perhaps six months before they take full effect and she will no longer be a problem. Do not fail me.::

The line closed, and Mimosa’s eyes- for the first time in too long... Filled with tears as the connection went silent.

“P-Papa... Prowl...”, she whimpered, a shaky and failing hand upon the lead-treated glass window, “He... No, He loves me, he has to-!”

“I... I’m sorry, Mimosa.”, said Laudanum gently, softer than she thought she ever could, “I’m sorry, I’m so sorry- “

Laudanum watched as their little leader, born and bred to control and eradicate... broke. It was messy, and haphazard; her silent cries made her throat seize and made her gag weakly only to vomit into the container in her little cell for that explicit purpose.

“B-B-BABA, BABA HELP M-ME!”

Halls away, in an office with twinned Ratchet’s both trying to find the words to fix the news just delivered- Percy’s mascara streaked eyes went wide. He turned his head so fast his neck popped and Lock suddenly looked serious and put a hand up to both CMOs.

“Perce, babe. What is it. Who’s calling.”

“My baby-”

He ran. He ran like a man possessed and felt the deep lodged mycomutagen seem to rise within his chest, his skull, his very skin and his steps almost didn’t touch the tile floor.

“MY BABY-!”

Lock tore after him with teeth bared, and the Ratchet’s followed out of fear and concern at the deep black lines present in Percy’s ever-pale skin. Smear on the walls where the vampiric sniper overshot and bounced off and lines dug into wallpaper and through safety plating as they led down, down, down the levels where dull thuds were heard.

“MY BABY!”

The bellowed words echoed and Lock arrived first- seeing Laudanum backed against the wall and seeming in shock. Mimosa visible through the protective glass as she slumped on the floor in a heap and wailed wordlessly, soundlessly- like a broken thing, a cracked doll with hair matted and damp and skin sallow from the radioactive poison they desperately were trying to help her survive.

And Percy at the door- hands twisted from the mycomutagen and manicured nails in strange carapace-like claws. Thorny points pushed through the smooth skin of his hairline like a Madonna’s halo and he dug his weaponized hands into the first door and began to pull.

“I’M HERE I’M HERE I’LL BE IN SOON!”, he bellowed, echoing wetly and with a trill in his throat that Lock watched in some kind of fascination.

Both Ratchet’s charged through, trying to knock Percy away from the door as they snapped and spat about contamination and the dangers of releasing toxins-

And then Laudanum screamed.

Percy, or whatever he was now- rose to a violent height, each hand curling claws into a different shirt while goatlike pupils flickered dangerously.

“Open. This. Door. Doctor.”, hissed the sniper, “Or I will.”

Ratchet struggled, trying to reason with a clearly activated mutation sourcepoint until his modified double looked from the panicked and feral sniper, to the keypad.

He reached out, frantically punching in the entry code, “Th-There, darling it’s open, go on go to her-”

And just like that, the both of them were dropped and in a flutter of mycelial tendrils Percy seemed to all-but fly into the containment room.

Mimosa wailed again, no sound until she gagged into the disposal bucket again and her body convulsed with each heave.

“B-Baba he-he never. he never loved me he never wanted me why can’t anyone WANT ME WHY CAN’T ANYONE LOVE ME TOO-”

“Ssssssh, shush now my sweetling, my little foxkit, my tiny faechild.”, cooed Percy as he folded around her right there on the floor. He pulled her sickly form against him, ear to his chest to hear a mutated heart thud in a steady tempo, “It’s okay, I know, I know I’m so sorry my darling one my most precious one, Forgive me oh forgive me for letting him ever see you-”

The door slid shut slowly.

Both Ratchet’s looked to Lock when they heard Laudanum skitter behind him like a scared gutterkitten. he reached back, petting over bright hair with a low and comforting hum.

“Lock, explain.”, snapped the mad medic as he assisted his double, “There is NO possible way with his current dosage that the mutations should present so rapidly, so GROTESQUELY-”

“It’s because he was angry.”, said Lock gently, “Y’see... When Mimsy-moo in there was born... Perce wasn’t great. Wasn’t healthy. Still mutating and coming back from the dead on a microscopic level- facing down the G-9 takeover and pumped full of enough substances for stability and recovery that it shoulda killed him again.”

“And?!”

“...And he gave her up. Springer convinced him to give her up without even. Even CALLING me..”, the words were growled, they dripped from him with tangible malice, “To a fostering commune off Cybertron. Bastard told Perce that she’d be safe there, have a normal life- a normal family.”

“But she obviously didn’t, she’s told us about Prowl ‘raising her’ if you can even call it that-”

“Springer’s always been a double-crosser.”, said Lock with something in his voice that could dissolve stardust, “He’d told Prowl Percy was carrying a child. Prowl wanted the kid cause of the mycomutagen. Wanted to weaponize it, weaponize her; he hadn’t perfected the Neocreation Project yet.”

The modified medic fell solemnly quiet as his softer double blinked in shock, “He. He abducted her?!”

“No, he adopted her- legally. For a gentle use of legal. Falsified documents. Said her sire was KOA and her carrier was deemed psychologically unfit.”

Lock looked to the window after gently shooing Laudanum up the halls and stair Percy had careened down. When she was gone, her little scuffing footsteps no longer audible... he unclenched his other fist, letting blood drip from his punctured palm.

“He experimented on my little girl for years.”, were the soft words he whispered, “And I couldn’t save her from ending up like me. Like Perce. I’m such a piece of shit.”

The pair of CMOs stepped aside as he moved- walking to the door like a man to his execution before entering the keypad code neither Ratchet doubted he’d stolen by fondly nefarious means to allow him access.

Percy shushed his sobbing eldest again, clawed hand gently petting her cheek as he rocked her side to side. When he heard Lock enter, he hissed in a serpentine viciousness before hooking an arm under Mimosa’s legs and carrying her to the bed she’d been stuck in for almost three months.

“She’s STARVING.”, snapped Percy, “They aren’t feeding her!”

“Babe, she’s radioactive-”

“THAT ISN’T WHAT I MEAN!”, yowled the mutated sniper, thorn crown pushing through the skin just a little more, “They are starving US.”

Lock nodded, scratching his head to cover the brush of a finger over his earpiece comm to allow their more familiar Ratchet to hear. Outside, the modified CMO froze, holding up a finger to his double to allow him to listen.

“She is OF ME. She was born OF ME, OF ALL OF ME-”, growled Percy, “Prowl starved it, starved the connection. It cannot fight what is in her, it can’t break it down because it is underdeveloped and malnutritioned. I have to save her, I have to save her this time I can’t let her suffer- not again, not ever again.”

“Babe, you’re talkin’ wild. Gimme Mimsy-moo and we’ll talk it out-”

“Touch her and your silly healing factor will not save you, it will not save the CMOs nor will it save this hospital am I crystal. Fucking. Clear. Deadlock of Rodion.”

Lock stopped all movement, raising both eyebrows.

“She needs me, she needs mine to bolster her. We are only holding what Prowl’s done at bay.”, said Percy softly as he settled on Mimosa’s bed and rocked her like she was still small though she was fully grown, “She’s already going to lose her legs. A few fingers. I’ve failed her so many times already I cannot let it happen again do you understand?”

“Babe, you didn’t fail her- you were manipulated-”

“I SHOULD HAVE BEEN SMARTER, MY INTELLECT WAS UNHEARD OF.”, snarled Percy, his normally delicate and fluttering voice suddenly steel-edged and cruel, “I let her go and he STOLE HER because I trusted the person who murdered me like an IDIOT. I will not let my baby down again, I refuse.”

“Babe, at least tell me what your gonna do- I ain’t gonna stop you unless it’s gonna hurt you, you know that-”

“I’m going to help her. I can’t explain it beyond I am going to give her some of me, something more skilled and developed and cultivated.”

The modified CMO sighed steam as his heartrate rose and he began to fiddle with the keypad silently.

“I am going to save her, like I should have years ago. And then maybe... maybe I can try to earn her forgiveness... She has your eyes Lock. She has your eyes and my little nose.”, said Percy, with his voice breaking just a little, “Your eyes and my little nose and she didn’t even cry when she was born, do you know that? So small, so small and so strong to fight through everything and he hurt her so badly. So much, and so long...”

Lock swallowed hard, watching in nervous intrigue as Percy put a thumb in his own fanged mouth- using one of the needle-like cuspids to tear the tip of the digit nearly in half and let blood and mycelium bead up in bubbles and gurgles though it refused to flow.

Percy hummed a lullaby- unfamiliar to his voice and something he had heard his double murmur to Mimosa’s double on the days the world was far too much to take. And he dabbed the damaged digit against Mimosa’s lips until her teeth flashed and sank into it.

The Ratchet’s pushed the door slowly open to see Percy cradling the sickly Mimosa- seeing dark lines begin to spread over the skin they could see as Lock moved with the careful wariness of watched prey to grab the brush on the bedside table.

“I’m, uh- I’m gonna comb out her hair, While you do that, alright?”

“Good. After this she needs to be clean, scrubbed up and a nice warm soak.”, he crooned as he adjusted his hold on Mimosa; feeling her go limp in his grasp and release his thumb.

“Do ya, uhm. Do ya need-”

“The thumb will be fine, precious.”, said Percy, “She took what she could, it will multiply and grow and feed on what Prowl did to her.”

The pair of CMOs crept closer before Percy turned to look at them with a fluid motion- the preternatural way he had about him as his mutations began to recede and fade and fold away and he smiled with no mirth.

“Apologies for interrupting you two earlier.”, he said, bright without being light, “But there was an emergency.”

“Is. Is that so?”, asked the softer of the pair of medics, “How uh. How... A’right, I’m just gonna say it outright. How the fuck did you know she needed you?? You were seven floors up and on the opposite side of the building!”

“Because she’s of me.”, laughed Percy as Mimosa stirred enough to curl closer to her Baba, “I was deeply infected with the mycomutagen and on the way to full symbiosis when I carried her, gave birth to her. She’s part of the web. Now that I know what her... signal is, I can always know when she needs me.”

“Fascinating.”, whispered both of the Ratchets as they drew closer to the bed.

Lock chuckled, “Does that mean yer gonna be a big ol’ creepy crawly supermodel each time?”

“Oh no, that’s only when there’s the chance I have to tear a living being apart like wet tissue, love.”

“Kinda hot.”

“Oho, you flatterer.”

The modified Ratchet cleared his throat, making his double roll his eyes grandly, “All of that aside, darling- It is imperative we all exit this room; we are all no doubt contaminated as it is-”

“Oh, then be on your way. I will be staying right here.”, said Percy, “My daughter needs me, and I am not inclined to deny that this time.”

“Darling, please-”

“I will stay, and act as a fount for her to recover.”, said Percy softly, “I saved Stormy with this once, after all. If anyone deserves it it’s her.”

“...Pardon? Stormy, as in, my son in law?!”

“Oh, yes. Who else? Anyone who has ingested fluids or physical pieces of my body is infected- it’s all a matter of whether or not your body is an appropriate environment for growth and cultivation- oh dear, off he went. Was it something I said?”

The call First Aid received that night was loaded with medical jargon and mid panic, leading up to a sentence that Stardust happily repeated thanks to her carrier’s unfortunate insistence on exposing her to language as soon as possible.

“WHAT DO YOU FUCKING MEAN MY HUSBAND HAS MUSHROOMS IN HIS BRAIN?!”

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease caused by the infection of bacteria belonging to the genus Leptospira. It is most commonly transmitted through mucous membrane contact or wound exposure to urine of infected mammals, or contaminated food, bedding, soil, or water. 

Leptospira like to live in warm, wet environments like damp soil/grass, mud, standing water, and lakes or ponds. Under ideal conditions, the bacteria can survive more than three months outside the body. Rodents and domesticated animals including raccoons, skunks, opossums, rats, cows, and pigs are but a few of the many known carriers. Because of the broad range of carrier species, any dog - even one that is briefly outdoors - may be vulnerable to the disease. 

Each year, more than a million cases of leptospirosis are reported worldwide, with an estimated 59,000 deaths. Leptospirosis continues to be prevalent in dogs, although symptoms may vary depending on the strain of Leptospira bacteria and the dog’s immune system. While some infected dogs may show little to no signs of illness and recover on their own, others may develop severe, life-threatening illness. Most common signs include:

Lethargy

Loss of appetite

Vomiting/diarrhea

Abdominal pain

Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or mucous membranes)

Dehydration

Increased thirst and urination

Weight loss

Stiffness or muscle pain

The disease may progress into acute kidney and/or liver failure. Some dogs may even develop lung disease and rapid, difficulty breathing, damage to the heart muscles, or bleeding disorders that may exhibit through blood-tinged vomit, feces, or urine, nose bleeds, or petechia (red spots or bruising on the gums and other light-skinned areas). Fluid may also build up in the body, causing swollen limbs or excess fluid in the chest or abdomen. 

Because leptospirosis may appear like many other illnesses, it is important to share information about your dog’s lifestyle and travel history that may highlight possible exposure to Leptospira bacteria. While there are various leptospirosis testing available, micro-agglutination tests (MAT) are the gold standard, and additional diagnostics including bloodwork, urinalysis, and ultrasound may also be recommended. 

Leptospirosis is generally treated with antibiotics and supportive care. Patients are often hospitalized to receive fluid therapy, IV medications, nutritional support, and sometimes oxygen therapy and/or plasma transfusions in more severe cases.

Fortunately, there are vaccines available that protect against this life-threatening disease. Vaccinating dogs for leptospirosis may help protect their owners from infection, too. Aside from that, other precautions should be made to reduce risk of exposure:

Avoid letting your dog swim or drink from lakes, rivers, ponds, or any slow-moving or stagnant waters, puddles, or public/shared water bowls

Keep your dog away from farm animals and rodents, including carcasses, and minimize free-roaming in rural or peri-urban areas

Protect your dog’s paws with booties if they have any open wounds or sores

WARNING: If your dog is diagnosed with, or suspected to have leptospirosis, it is important to note that any animals that are not treated completely may shed Leptospira bacteria in their urine for up to three months. Promptly clean and disinfect any urine or contaminated areas within the home, and wear gloves while doing so. Also be mindful in guiding your dog to urinate far away from any areas other people or animals may have access to.
