Most dogs are trapped in an endless loop of boredom. After millennia of hanging out in the wild, they're now stuck in suburbia. Just like their so-called best friend, the human, dogs yearn for stimulation that they're not getting in their off-eggshell-white, HOA-controlled economic-efficiency prisons. In recent history, these stimuli used to come from long rides in cars, but with the price of gas, and especially the death of our beloved Saab Automobile AB, who can afford to just drive their dog around while they bark at weird birds they see on the highway?

In the modern era, the rapid development of "dog parks" has attempted to provide a substitute to the demanding dog. No roar of engines, sure, but you get to run around a bit, maybe bite a Little League player. Unfortunately, dog parks are expensive to safely fence, and the poop has lots of negative impacts on the local real estate market, which we have collectively decided is the most important thing in existence and should be the sole survivor of our civilization, the only mark in the historical record that we were ever here. So they get turned into luxury condos.

Trains would be an option for the bored pooch-about-town, had we thought to build them. Dogs are notoriously enthusiastic about steam locomotives in particular, a fact which alternately thrills and horrifies animal psychologists the world over. Electric less so: the inverter whine hurts their little ears, and most of those run underground, where the only thing to bark at is weird rats. No fun at all. Streetcars, you ask? Don't make me laugh. You know what happened to that clown college at the bottom of the hill.

There is, however, hope. At the pet store, I have just now found this rubber bee that squeaks when you squeeze it. I am assured that it is the end of dog boredom for all eternity, or at least until my miniature Pomeranian, Ripper, tears the squeaker out and pukes it up on my duvet at 3:15 in the morning. Don't thank me: I'm just doing my part for all of dogkind.

✰ 003. you really are cursed mingi.

minecraft is loading…

“everyone in?” ary’s voice broke through the discord server, her excitement barely contained.

“everyone’s here except for yn.” timothy called out.

“what in the world is she doing?”

“i think she’s eating?”

“well tell her big back ass to hurry it up!”

di-ding!

“I heard that mothafucka.” yn joined with her camera on as her eyes were only seen. she scared everyone as soon as she joined.

“why is potato aim here ..” she called out as soon as she saw the name, the dreadful name she wishes she couldn’t see.

pinkminks

“i’m playing too duhhh.”

she looked at the camera up and down, pretending to bite her fist and then stopping. “oh you saw that? my bad I thought my camera was off.”

_

“it’s been thirty minutes where the hell is my jong at?” yn called out again, pausing her minecraft to look at her discord.

dawg2reall: yeah where’s pookie booty at

“POOKIE BOOTY??” keeho said looking at his own stream chat and back at his discord.

“we don’t play about jong around here, he gets all the cute nicknames.”

“WHAT ABOUT ME?” all the girls yelled in unison.

“damn what was that harmony in blues? .. don’t worry I bet she has nicknames for y’all too.”

“tim , we’re gonna build a castle. I don’t care what anyone says,” keeho said, already planning his empire.

“a castle? we’ve been in here for thirty minutes and we haven’t even found food yet, dude.” timothy replied, but he was clearly all-in for keeho’s wild idea.

doeun had been busying herself with gathering flowers, announcing that she was going to create a beautiful garden. ary, on the other hand, had one goal: diamonds.

“mining is life,” ary muttered under her breath as she began digging straight down, ignoring everyone’s warnings about minecraft’s number one rule.

surpringly soul and bibi had teamed up, and the two were focused on building a cozy little house near the water. lily, meanwhile, was exploring a nearby cave, determined to find enough resources to make everyone weapons and armor.

“lily’s going to be our mvp,” bibi joked, watching lily fearlessly descend into the cave system.

“she’s about to go crazy finding them resources- ain’t that right lily?!”

“YEP!”

“and uh… what about you potato aim?” yn asked as she gathered materials nearby.

“i’m building a house right by the river! i’m gonna raise a pet here. I found a duck, and i’m calling him ducky.”

a wave of laughter erupted in the chat.

“a duck? you’re raising a pet duck in minecraft?” yn wheezed.

mingi defended his decision. “hey- he’s going to be the best duck ever.”

_

mingi’s house was a small but sturdy wooden structure with a fenced-in area where ducky waddled around happily. yn’s base was far more elaborate, and she had enlisted art’s help to mine resources, which she decided to house the rest of the group that hadn’t already been building shelter.

"yn, I don't trust you," mingi declared out of the blue while tending to his duck.

“what? I haven’t done anything yet,” yn replied, a grin creeping onto her face.

“you’re plotting something, I can feel it. you’ve been walking near my house and walking away for 15 minutes now..”

“you must be seeing things.”

meanwhile, chaos erupted on tim and keeho’s side of the map as they bickered over how tall the castle walls should be. keeho wanted it to be grand and towering, while tim just wanted something functional.

“we don’t even have enough stone for this!” tim groaned.

“we can always mine more. get with the program!” keeho shot back.

“ladies, ladies you’re both pretty! now hush it up!” bibi yelled, laughing.

soul and bibi had fallen into a relaxed rhythm, their house now the coziest on the server, complete with flower beds courtesy of doeun.

“eunnie!!! these flowers are so pretty!!”

“THANK YOUUU!”

lily was still deep underground, occasionally muttering about creepers and lava pits. “ary come down here with me and bring a torch.. I forgot some..”

“how the heck did you get down there then?”

“I let the wind guide me!!!!”

“WHAT TYPE OF STUPID SHIT IS THAT??”

_

“uh, hold on, guys. my food just got here.” mingi said.

“what type of food?” soul asked immediately.

“jack in the box!!!”

everyone paused for a second.

“wait, what?” ary laughed.

“his stomach is gonna do backflips, oh lawddd,” yn muttered dramatically.

“that’s an earthquake waiting to happen,” keeho chimed in, barely able to contain his laughter.

the others erupted into laughter as mingi’s character went idle, just standing there with his pet duck next to him.

“I don’t care what anybody says- im about to fuck this shit up!!!” mingi said, his chair creaking as he got up.

“you better hope nothing happens to your house while you're gone,” yn teased.

“you better not yn.” tim spoke up.

“I DIDNT SAY NOTHING??”

shehexedme_: I know you’re about to do smth stupid mother 😭

“am not.”

a few minutes passed, and mingi finally returned, his voice muffled as he was clearly stuffing his face with food.

“okay, I’m back,” he announced.

“is it good mingi??”

“BRO YES. don’t come for me doeun im just trying to enjoy my foo- OH MY GOD.”

“what?” everyone asked.

“MY HOUSE WHAT THE FLIP?!” mingi asked, panic already rising.

“YO MINGI’S HOUSE IS GONE..”

…

“YN!!!!”

“WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO?! IM WITH SOUL AND BIBI!!”

mingi’s screen read “you died! / pinkminks was blown up by emperorsluv”. he quickly clicked respawn and his face dropped. his entire house had been blown to smithereens. all that was left were a few scattered blocks, the fence barely holding together. and worst of all, ducky was gone.

“no… no, no, no, no, no!” mingi cried, his character running frantically around the remnants of his house.

“where’s ducky?!” His voice cracked dramatically. “he was my only friend!”

“WHAT ABOUT ME??”

“NOT NOW EUN!!”

“i’m so sorry, pinky,” she whispered, holding back laughter.

“WHY ME?!” mingi demanded, spinning his character around in circles.

yn, cool and collected, simply said, “I don’t know… maybe it was karma.”

“karma for what?” Mingi was practically sobbing into his mic.

“you made us lose that valorant match!!” YN’s grin was audible through her voice. “I told you I’d get you back.”

there was a brief pause before mingi’s gasp, thick with betrayal, echoed through the server.

“YOU BLEW UP MY HOUSE BECAUSE OF A MATCH WE PLAYED A WEEK AGO? WHAT- DUCKY IS GONE BECAUSE OF YOU!!”

the sheer drama in his tone sent everyone into fits of laughter once again.

ary, who had helped yn with the sabotage, chimed in. “in yn’s defense, it was very funny.”

“i can’t believe you two did this to me,” mingi groaned. “my duck… my house… I was just trying to enjoy my jack in the box…”

“lesson learned,” yn teased. “don’t mess with me in valorant, and don’t leave your house unattended in minecraft.”

“you’re absolutely savage for that..” tim said.

soul kept giggling like he couldn’t breathe and the rest of them had already died of laughter.

mingi’s avatar sat down on a nearby block, defeated.

“i can’t believe this…” he said dramatically.

“i’ll help you rebuild mingi, don’t worry.” bibi offered sweetly, while the others continued laughing in the background.

mingi, after hours of moping and pleading, has convinced the entire group to rebuild his house. the new structure was much bigger and sturdier, and with doeun’s finishing touches, it even had a garden.

“alright, mingi.. you’re house is done be grateful.” yn said as she helped put some carpets in the house.

“this won’t bring back ducky…” mingi muttered, still not fully over his loss.

soul chimed in. “if you want another duck, I found an egg earlier. maybe you can raise another ducky.”

“y’all I want a ducky too don’t play..”

“we’ll get you a duck too lily..”

mingi sighed dramatically as everyone stood around mingi’s new house, admiring the work they had done.

just as they were about to call it a day, a creeper appeared out of nowhere, hissing ominously right next to mingi’s new house.

“mingi I think you might wanna move???” tim shouted, but it was too late.

the explosion rocked the server once again, and mingi’s new house was reduced to rubble. everyone was silent for a beat before erupting into hysterical laughter.

mingi, however, was inconsolable.

“WHAT THE HELL?! THIS IS A CONSPIRACY!!!” he wailed dramatically. “WHY IS THIS ONLY HAPPENING TO ME.”

“you really are cursed mingi.”

[ineffablelunatic]

@oddsydviscous, @thattransboyaled and I have made a fabulous Ghosts highschool AU!

Thomas: Massive theatre kid, is a member of the drama club and is in every play, plays the acoustic guitar in a sappy band. He carries a satchel full of poetry and writes with an actual calligraphy pen. He has a new crush every week.

Kitty: Eats lunch in the art block every day, has had a long-term secret crush her entire time at the school. He's actually some hapless guy in one of the years above who's never spoken to her, but she's convinced herself that they're in love. Really she just wanted to have a crush, rather than actually liking him. She and Thomas are best friends.

Humphrey: Always hangs out in the library with his nose in a book, massive English nerd (the subject, not the nationality). He runs the school magazine and he's very, very shy.

Captain: Also a theatre kid, although less outrageously so, plays the trumpet in the marching band. He's the one who plays the song at the start of every Remembrance Day assembly. CCF Squadron leader. Good at languages. Also on the fencing team and joint head of the cricket team.

Mary: Hopelessly shy, almost never talks unless she's picked on by a teacher, everyone is shocked if she actually speaks. She runs the gardening club, which has a small but loyal group of members. Sometimes she bakes cookies for her close friend group.

Pat: Joint Head of the student council, also Head Boy. He runs a lot of clubs. Nobody is quite sure how he manages to attend all of them. He's not necessarily popular, but nobody actively dislikes him - after all, he's hard not to like. Except for the teachers, that is - no real reason, he gets good grades, but he talks to anyone who's next to him, no matter how many times they move him.

Julian: Typical bad boy. Poor attendance, throws parties every weekend, sticks gum under the desk, vapes in the Maths block toilets. He and Robin sell sweets behind the bike sheds. He has a lot of special offers on, but only if you're cool enough. He's also obscenely rich, but he just wants the money for extra pocket change.

Robin: Physics nerd, struggles with English. He does Julian's homework for him (he blackmails Julian into paying a fiver for each piece, or else he'll snitch). The two of them dominate the chess club. They essentially have an underground black market for contriband going. Somehow they haven't been caught yet.

Fanny: Head girl, Joint Head of the Student Council. Not very popular. She's the teacher's pet and enforces all the rules, even though it's not her job. Everyone hates her, but she gets good grades, especially in Maths. She doesn't really try in any other subject. Always telling people to tuck their shirts in and stop talking. All the Year 7s are scared of her. Her and Pat organise the discos, and she loves textiles class.

Alison: The beloved student counselor and head of Pastoral Care. The students always go to her for help, partially because she keeps a bowl of sweets on her desk. She also teaches PSHE, and she has a lot of pride flags on her wall. She's really into art, and she met Mike by sitting next to him on an art course. Lets kids do mindful colouring the day before their exams.

Mike: The PE teacher who's nice enough, but he's always on his phone and doesn't let you wear a jacket, even when it's freezing cold and he's wearing a scarf. Still, all the students like him. He'll let you sit off sport if you don't feel up to it.

Havers: Transferred mid-year, was very close with Captain before he left. Basically the only person Captain spoke to. He was one of those kids that everyone knows but nobody has a strong opinion on. He also hung out in the library a lot. He struggled with Maths, French and Spanish but was good at most other things. Very sporty - head of the cricket team alongside Captain, fastest runner, on the table tennis team. Captain is good at languages and liked to tease him about it.

Annie: A student from the Catholic school down the road who taught Mary to speak up for herself a little more. She bunks off school to hang out with Mary. She's in the year above, and so she goes off to university before Mary, but they still call each other a lot, and she comes back to visit.

Bonus info: Pat and Fanny became joint heads of the Council because it was a tie. Pat wanted to do Rock, Paper, Scissors but Fanny said it was undignified. Fanny is also somehow on the PTA, despite not being allowed.

Alison plays music in class and has fairy lights in her office. She takes her class outside for walks in the summertime - but only if they want to go, otherwise they can just sit outside. She passively talks about feminism when the class are doing something boring, punishes those straight boys for the smallest things because she knows how they act around other people. Gets kids to write other things they could say instead of swearing.

Alison's screensaver on her work computer is a wholesome meme. Julian regularly hacks into the school system, although he needs Robin's help to do it. Sometimes he changes his grades using that method. If he does too well in Drama or Art he lowers them so he looks cooler. If he has negative housepoints he removes them and replaces them with positive ones.

How tall are you? short.... (*whispers* like 5'1)

Favourite subject in school? Classics my beloved <3333 also drama and english. and like in theory I liked the content for my art history class but I hated the way we were taught so

[astarab1aze]

Loux BG3 Bits

He's a sorcerer with draconic ancestry;

He is a High Half-Elf;

With his charisma stat at 21, he can charm the pants off of anyone (or -thing);

He sided with the Tieflings in the Emerald Grove and very loudly told Kagha to go fuck herself, effectively;

He sided with Spaw in the Underdark, finding Glut's quest for vengeance a bit petty and kind of stupid; Duergars are just assholes anyway and he's never been a fan of Drow;

He and Laezel are very close friends;

He did not let Minthara live;

Many of the opportunities he took advantage of ended up falling through, meaning his opportunism was never actually rewarded with anything that would justify it;

He had his eye knocked out by Volo and kinda viciously killed Ethel and Nettie (he feels guilty about Nettie, though, as he should);

He did everything for the Tiefling kids, and financially supports their little thieves' guild;

He was there every step of the way for Arabella, including after she left his camp, proud of her too;

Honestly, he incidentally ended up adopting a lot of kids throughout the campaign - any child in trouble now had a soft spot to land and a helping hand;

Absolutely did not vibe with any of his party members trying to sacrifice themselves for Baldur's Gate, ever, at all whatsoever and went as far as he possibly could to shoulder that burden himself, including eating a bowl of tadpoles to become ilithid;

Monsterfucker through and through, he absolutely boned the Emperor;

He was born in abject poverty and grew up an urchin on the streets of Baldur's Gate, swallowed up by the criminal underground there and turned into, effectively, a thieving, murdering fence - at which point, he was used and abused like anyone else;

The overall adventure changes him considerably over time, changing him from the almost-but-not-quite evil man he was becoming into someone who could and would do the right thing after all;

Absolutely destroyed the Dead Three's Chosen on principle;

Staff-user with a penchant for alchemy and scroll-hoarding;

Can transform into a displacer beast and is a frequent summoner of undead + ghouls;

Genuinely, the man is powerful and skilled when it comes to combat, very 'jack of all trades, master of some' - practically made to fight, and even enjoys being caught in the fray (often such that he may occasionally cause a fight on purpose);

He's so 'go with the flow' here in terms of demeanor, but there's always always always something on his mind. In fact, he's sort of always thinking about whether or not he'll be remembered or liked once all is said and done - he doesn't have any confidence he's worth the effort, and that's okay;

He goes from extremely confident to understanding less and less what's happening on account of the tadpole fucking with his brain, but also becoming less and less certain of himself (has to do with accepting his ultimate fate);

Accidentally gets Minsc killed;

Rescuse Scratch and the owlbear cub because obviously, even though he really didn't want to at first (not a pets guy);

Also besties with Karlach, and has a good relationship with everyone at camp surprisingly;

Is beholden to no god and cannot be swayed except literally by magic - Baal, Myrkul, the Absolute, everyone can kick rocks and succumb to irrelevance and obscurity;

Saved the gnomes but thought Wulbren to be a complete asshole honestly;

His moral compass is intact, just mostly ignored.

[oddlyhale]

Anyways, on some cute ideas:

One of my coworkers said he has a pet tortoise who is 60 pounds and is ten years old. He didn't tell me her name, but he did tell me that she lives in his backyard where he's made it her own little haven.

She is obsessed with digging - as in, she dug a little place underground for herself in his backyard to sleep, but she always crawls out when she hears him. He said she loves digging so much that she will try and dig into the neighbor's yard by making a hole under their fence.

She's trying to make everybody's yard her yard, lol.

And she's such a tank that she will headbutt the backdoor of my coworker's house. She just wants to come in and see him, but he says she's like a bulldozer when she hits the door - very, very loud!

So if Ironwood had a pet tortoise, she or he would be a tank but in a golden retriever type of way. The tortoise mainly eats greens, but three times a month, James might surprise it with an apple or some strawberries. He knows sugar isn't great for them but he's not one for the rules all the time, so he found loopholes lol.

When he has a meeting, there's a loud banging at the doors. James excuses himself, saying, "I need to let my pet tortoise in."

[lovenpeace-pkmn]

❥ - a childhood memory (your choice who!)

[The children at the orphanage are playing some kind of complicated hopscotch game in the yard. Anthea is not—she’s more interested in the Emboar that stands near the main building, staring out over the children’s heads into the woods past the fence.

Normally, there aren’t Pokémon in the orphanage yard when the children are out there, except the Pidove that sometimes come in to look for crumbs. The caretakers say this one’s here for safety. They won’t tell the children why, but Benny told Anthea that Sam told him that they were whispering last night about wild Zoroark sightings in the woods, and Benny’s almost ten so he’s usually right.

Anthea doesn’t care much about wild Zoroark, or even really know what that is, but she’s fascinated by the Emboar. It’s very big and old, with a scar on its shoulder and tusks that Anthea thinks must be nearly as long as her arm. Its ears are tattered, and its expression is one of sharp focus. It’s beautiful.

“You like Crusher?” Miss Brown asks. Anthea jumps; she hadn’t noticed the caretaker approaching. “He used to be my battling partner.”

“You used to battle?” Anthea asks skeptically.

“Got seven gym badges,” Miss Brown replies proudly, and then deflates a little. “Never could get past Sutter, though. Anyway, we can go say hi if you want.”

Crusher is very gentle, lifting Anthea up and turning down his fire so that she can pet his head. When she’s done, Miss Brown runs Crusher through some battle moves. Basic ones in hindsight, but Anthea is entranced. By the dazzling bursts of fire, yes, but moreso by the Pokémon and trainer themselves—the unity in their movements, the trust they seem to have for each other. Anthea is often frustrated, even as an eight-year-old, by people not seeming to understand her, but this human and this Pokémon understand each other perfectly.

Anthea had not paid much attention to Pokémon trainers in the past, but she starts watching them more closely from then on. As soon as she’s old enough, she decides, she’s going to catch a Pokémon partner of her own and leave this place behind to travel the world.

That is, if she hasn’t been adopted yet.]

Restoring Your Property and Landscape

Storms can cause significant damage to homes and landscapes, leaving behind debris, fallen trees, and structural harm. Whether it's a result of high winds, heavy rain, or flooding, the aftermath of a storm can be overwhelming. One of the most critical aspects of post-storm recovery is ensuring that your property is safe and secure for you and your family. This often involves storm damage repair, including the removal of fallen trees, cleaning up debris, and addressing issues with the foundation or roof. Additionally, tree stump removal can be an essential part of the recovery process to ensure your property is both safe and aesthetically pleasing.

Assessing Storm Damage The First Step in Recovery

After a storm, the first step is to assess the damage to your property. Start by inspecting your home’s exterior and roof for any visible signs of harm. Check for loose shingles, broken windows, and cracks in the foundation or walls. If trees have fallen on your property, examine their placement carefully. Fallen trees may cause structural damage to your home, garage, or fence, and their roots may pose a risk to your plumbing or underground utilities.

Once you’ve assessed the damage, it’s important to take safety precautions before proceeding with repairs. If there is a threat of further storms, be sure to wait until conditions are safe before beginning clean-up or repairs. Also, avoid handling fallen trees or damaged structures if you're unsure of how to proceed—these tasks are often best left to professionals to prevent injury or further damage.

Tree Removal and Cleanup

One of the most common forms of storm damage repair is fallen or broken trees. Storms can uproot trees, break limbs, or cause trees to fall on structures. Removing these trees and their debris is often a priority in storm damage repair, as it clears the way for further restoration efforts.

Tree removal should be carried out with great care, especially if the tree is in close proximity to structures or power lines. It’s best to hire a professional tree service that is equipped with the necessary tools and expertise to safely remove large or dangerous trees. After removal, cleanup is essential to avoid the risk of injury or further property damage from scattered branches, limbs, or debris.

Tree Stump Removal A Necessary Step

After a tree has been removed, you may be left with an unsightly stump in your yard. While tree stumps may seem harmless, they can actually pose several problems. Stumps can become a tripping hazard, especially for children or pets, and can attract pests like termites, ants, or fungi. Additionally, stumps can hinder the growth of new plants or grass, affecting the overall aesthetics of your landscape.

Tree stump removal is a vital part of storm damage repair. There are a few methods for stump removal, including stump grinding, which involves using a specialized machine to grind the stump down below ground level. This method is often the most efficient and least disruptive, leaving you with a smooth and level surface. Alternatively, if you prefer to leave the stump in place, it can be chemically treated to decompose over time, but this process can take several months or even years.

Repairing Structural Damage

In addition to dealing with fallen trees and debris, storm damage repair often involves addressing structural damage to your home. Roofs, siding, windows, and foundations may be compromised during a storm, and these issues must be repaired quickly to prevent further damage.

If your roof has been damaged, it’s crucial to repair leaks and replace broken shingles as soon as possible to avoid water damage. Similarly, if your home’s foundation has shifted or cracked, professional repair services are necessary to ensure the long-term stability of your home.

If storm water has flooded your property, consider waterproofing your basement or installing a sump pump to prevent future water damage. For areas prone to flooding, it’s also wise to elevate electrical systems, HVAC units, and important appliances above potential flood levels.

Preventive Measures for Future Storms

Once your property has been restored, it’s important to take steps to reduce the likelihood of future storm damage. Regular tree maintenance, such as pruning dead branches and removing weakened trees, can help mitigate the risk of fallen tree stump removal during storms. Ensuring that your gutters and drainage systems are clean and functional will also help prevent water damage to your home’s foundation.

Additionally, consider strengthening your roof, windows, and doors to better withstand high winds. Installing storm shutters or impact-resistant windows can add an extra layer of protection against flying debris. While no home can be entirely stormproof, taking these precautions can help minimize damage during future storms.

Conclusion

Storms can cause extensive damage, but with proper storm damage repair, your property can be restored to its pre-storm condition. Tree removal, including tree stump removal, plays an important role in the cleanup process, helping to eliminate hazards and improve the appearance of your landscape. By addressing structural damage and taking preventive measures, you can protect your home from future storms and ensure a safe environment for your family.

Avoiding Pitfalls When Installing a Large Pool: Why Professionals Are Essential  

Installing a large pool is a major undertaking, one that can significantly enhance your property’s value and create a space for family fun, relaxation, and fitness. However, pool installation is far from simple—it requires meticulous planning, expertise, and precise execution.

Without the proper knowledge, you could encounter costly mistakes that might turn your backyard dream into a logistical nightmare. Here's a detailed look at the common pitfalls to avoid when installing a large pool and why relying on professional pool builders is the best way to ensure a smooth process.

Common Pitfalls in DIY Pool Installation

1. Inadequate Planning

One of the most significant mistakes homeowners make is underestimating the planning phase. Installing a pool involves more than digging a hole and filling it with water. You need to account for:

Permits and zoning laws: Ignoring local regulations can lead to fines or even pool removal.

Site selection: Poor positioning can result in drainage issues, excessive debris from nearby trees, or safety hazards.

Pool size and design: A mismatch between the pool's size and the available space can cause functional and aesthetic problems.

2. Improper Ground Preparation

The ground beneath your pool must be stable and level. Skipping steps like soil testing or grading can lead to structural issues, such as:

Pool shifting or sinking over time.

Cracks in the pool shell due to uneven support.

3. Underestimating Costs

DIY pool projects often run over budget because homeowners fail to consider hidden expenses, such as:

Excavation surprises (e.g., hitting bedrock or underground utilities).

Additional materials for reinforcing the pool structure.

Landscaping and pool deck construction.

4. Inadequate Plumbing and Electrical Work

Pool plumbing and electrical systems are complex and require professional knowledge. Mistakes in these areas can lead to:

Inefficient filtration, resulting in dirty or unsafe water.

Faulty wiring, posing electrical hazards or causing equipment failures.

5. Skipping Safety Features

DIY projects sometimes overlook essential safety features, such as fencing, pool covers, and alarms. This oversight can lead to accidents, particularly if you have children or pets.

6. Incorrect Material Choices

Selecting the wrong materials for your pool liner, tiles, or decking can result in durability issues, frequent repairs, and higher maintenance costs.

Why Professional Installation Is the Best Choice

Hiring professional pool installers like Ocean Blue Pools eliminates the guesswork and ensures your project is completed efficiently, safely, and up to code. Here’s why working with experts is essential:

1. Expert Knowledge and Experience

Professionals have years of experience and are trained to handle every aspect of pool installation, from design to execution. They can:

Conduct accurate site assessments.

Recommend the best pool type (in-ground, fiberglass, concrete, etc.) for your needs.

Handle unexpected challenges, such as poor soil conditions or utility line conflicts.

2. Access to High-Quality Materials

Professional installers have access to premium materials and equipment that may not be available to the average homeowner. This ensures your pool will be durable, long-lasting, and visually stunning.

3. Compliance With Local Laws and Regulations

Navigating permits and zoning laws can be overwhelming. Professionals are well-versed in local codes and can handle the paperwork for you, ensuring that your pool complies with all regulations.

4. Proper Groundwork and Structural Integrity

Expert installers will:

Conduct soil testing to ensure the ground is stable.

Level and reinforce the pool base properly.

Use advanced techniques to prevent future issues, such as cracking or shifting.

How to Choose the Right Professional Pool Installer

When selecting a pool installer, look for the following qualities:

Experience: Choose a company with a proven track record and positive reviews.

Licensing and Insurance: Verify that they are licensed and insured to protect against accidents.

Portfolio: Ask to see examples of their previous work.

Transparency: Ensure they provide clear contracts and estimates.

Customer Service: Choose a company that communicates well and prioritizes your satisfaction.

Electric Fences for Pet Containment: What You Need to Know

Electric fences have become a popular solution for pet owners looking to keep their furry friends safe within their yard without the need for traditional physical barriers. These systems offer an invisible boundary that can be customized to fit any yard size or shape, giving pets the freedom to roam while ensuring they stay within a safe area. However, while electric fences offer convenience and flexibility, they also come with their own set of considerations. In this post, we’ll explore how electric fences work, their benefits and potential drawbacks, and what you need to know to choose the right system for your pet.

How Electric Fences Work

Electric fences create a boundary that keeps your pets safely within a designated area using a combination of technology and training. Here’s how they function:

Basic Functionality

Electric fences work by establishing an invisible boundary around your yard or a specific area within it. This boundary is created either by burying a wire underground (in-ground system) or by using a wireless transmitter. When your pet approaches the boundary, the system sends a signal to a receiver collar worn by your pet. The collar then emits a warning sound, vibration, or a mild static correction to deter your pet from crossing the boundary. This gentle correction is meant to train your pet to stay within the safe zone without causing harm.

Types of Electric Fences

There are two main types of electric fences: in-ground and wireless systems.

In-ground systems involve burying a wire around the perimeter of your yard. These systems offer more customization in terms of boundary shape, allowing you to create complex layouts that fit your property’s specific needs. In-ground fences are ideal for yards with irregular shapes or obstacles that need to be worked around.

Wireless systems use a central transmitter that emits a circular boundary around your yard. These are easier to install since they don’t require digging, but they offer less flexibility in terms of boundary shape. Wireless fences are best suited for smaller, open yards with a regular layout.

Collar and Correction Mechanism

The key component of an electric fence is the receiver collar worn by your pet. This collar is equipped with sensors that detect when your pet is nearing the boundary. When your pet approaches the limit, the collar first emits a warning sound to alert them. If your pet continues to move closer, the collar delivers a mild static correction. The intensity of this correction can typically be adjusted based on your pet’s size, temperament, and training needs. The goal is to train your pet to associate the warning sound with the boundary, so they learn to stay within the designated area.

Benefits of Electric Fences

Electric fences offer several advantages that make them a popular choice for pet containment. Here’s why many pet owners opt for this solution:

Invisible Boundaries

One of the main benefits of electric fences is that they provide an invisible boundary, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your yard while keeping your pet safe. Unlike traditional fences, which can be bulky or obstruct your view, electric fences are hidden from sight, allowing your landscape to remain open and unobstructed. This is particularly beneficial for homeowners who want to preserve the look of their garden or have a property with scenic views that they don’t want to block.

Flexibility in Boundary Setting

Electric fences offer a high degree of flexibility in setting boundaries, accommodating yards of various sizes and shapes. In-ground systems allow you to create custom boundaries that can navigate around flower beds, pools, or other landscape features, ensuring that your pet stays within safe zones while still having access to designated areas. Wireless systems provide easy installation and can be adjusted to cover different ranges, making them ideal for temporary setups or for use in different locations.

Cost-Effectiveness

Compared to traditional fencing, electric fences can be more cost-effective, especially for large properties. Installing a physical fence can be expensive and labor-intensive, particularly if you need to enclose a large area. Electric fences typically cost less to install and maintain, as they don’t require materials like wood, metal, or vinyl. This makes them a practical option for pet owners who need to cover extensive ground without breaking the bank.

Training Ease

Electric fences are designed to work in conjunction with pet training, helping pets learn to stay within the boundaries without physical restraints. Most systems come with detailed instructions on how to train your pet, starting with introducing them to the boundary and gradually allowing them to explore the yard while wearing the receiver collar. The combination of audible warnings and gentle corrections helps pets quickly learn where they can and cannot go, making the training process straightforward and effective.

Potential Drawbacks and Concerns

While electric fences offer several benefits, it’s important to consider the potential drawbacks and concerns to ensure they are the right choice for your pet.

Safety Considerations

One of the main concerns with electric fences is the safety of your pet. Although the static correction delivered by the collar is generally mild, it can cause discomfort, especially if the settings are too high or if the pet repeatedly challenges the boundary. There’s also the risk of the collar malfunctioning, which could lead to your pet receiving unintended corrections. To mitigate these risks, it’s essential to choose a high-quality system, properly adjust the correction levels, and regularly check the collar for any issues. Monitoring your pet’s reaction during the initial training phase is also crucial to ensure they are not overly stressed by the corrections.

Effectiveness

Electric fences may not be effective for all pets. Some animals, particularly those with strong prey drives or high pain tolerance, may ignore the correction and cross the boundary anyway. In such cases, the electric fence might not provide the containment you need. Additionally, while the fence can keep your pet within a designated area, it does not prevent other animals or people from entering your yard. This could expose your pet to potential threats, such as aggressive animals or intruders. Assessing your pet’s behavior and environment is important to determine if an electric fence will work effectively for your situation.

Ethical Concerns

The use of electric fences raises ethical concerns for some pet owners and animal welfare advocates. The idea of using a device that administers a shock, even a mild one, can be troubling, especially if the pet experiences anxiety or fear as a result. Critics argue that electric fences can cause psychological distress and may not be the most humane option for containment. It’s important to weigh these ethical considerations and explore alternative methods, such as physical fences or positive reinforcement training, if you have concerns about using an electric fence.

Power and Maintenance Needs

Electric fences rely on a consistent power source, either from batteries or a direct electrical connection. This means that power outages or dead batteries can render the system ineffective, potentially allowing your pet to escape. Regular maintenance is also necessary to ensure the fence continues to function correctly. This includes checking the integrity of the boundary wire (for in-ground systems), ensuring the transmitter is working properly, and replacing or recharging the collar’s batteries as needed. Failing to maintain the system could compromise its effectiveness and put your pet at risk.

Choosing the Right Electric Fence for Your Pet

Selecting the right electric fence involves considering your pet’s unique needs and behavior, as well as understanding the features offered by different systems.

Assessing Your Pet’s Behavior and Needs

The first step in choosing an electric fence is assessing your pet’s temperament, size, and breed. For example, dogs with high energy levels or strong prey drives may be more likely to challenge the boundary, requiring a system with more robust correction settings or advanced features like progressive correction (where the intensity increases if the pet continues to approach the boundary). Smaller or more sensitive pets may need a system with lower correction levels to avoid causing distress. Additionally, consider your pet’s previous training and responsiveness to commands, as this will influence how quickly they adapt to the electric fence.

Understanding Different Brands and Features

There are many brands of electric fences on the market, each offering various features designed to enhance effectiveness and ease of use. Some key features to look for include:

Adjustable Correction Levels: This allows you to tailor the correction to your pet’s size and sensitivity, ensuring it’s strong enough to deter them without causing unnecessary discomfort.

Boundary Warnings: Systems that offer multiple types of warnings (such as sound, vibration, and static correction) can be more effective in training your pet to respect the boundary.

Battery Backup: A battery backup feature ensures that the system continues to work during power outages, providing continuous protection for your pet.

Waterproof Collars: Since pets often play outdoors in various weather conditions, a waterproof collar is essential to ensure durability and consistent performance.

Brands like PetSafe, SportDOG, and Extreme Dog Fence are well-known in the market and offer a range of products to suit different needs and budgets. Researching customer reviews and consulting with your veterinarian can also help you choose the best system for your pet.

Installation Options

When it comes to installation, you can either opt for a DIY approach or hire a professional. DIY installation can be cost-effective, especially for wireless systems that are relatively simple to set up. However, in-ground systems require more effort, including digging a trench to bury the wire, which might be challenging depending on your yard’s layout.

Professional installation is recommended if you’re dealing with a large or complex yard or if you want to ensure the system is set up correctly from the start. Professionals can customize the boundary according to your specific needs, ensuring optimal performance and safety. While this option is more expensive, it can save time and reduce the likelihood of installation errors that could affect the system’s effectiveness.

Tips for Effective Use and Maintenance

To ensure your electric fence works effectively and keeps your pet safe, it’s important to follow best practices for use and maintenance.

Training Your Pet

Training is crucial for the success of any electric fence system. Start by introducing your pet to the boundary with the system turned off. Walk them around the perimeter while they wear the receiver collar, allowing them to hear the warning tone without experiencing a correction. Use treats and praise to reinforce positive behavior, guiding them away from the boundary when they hear the tone. Once your pet understands the boundary, gradually introduce the static correction at the lowest setting. Continue training sessions daily, increasing the correction level only if necessary. Most pets will learn to respect the boundary within a few weeks, but consistent reinforcement is key to ensuring long-term success.

Regular Maintenance Checks

To keep your electric fence functioning properly, perform regular maintenance checks on both the fence and the collar. Inspect the boundary wire (for in-ground systems) to ensure there are no breaks or damage, as this can cause the system to malfunction. Test the transmitter periodically to confirm it’s operating correctly, and replace or recharge the collar’s batteries as needed. Cleaning the collar and checking for wear and tear is also important, especially if your pet spends a lot of time outdoors. By staying on top of maintenance, you can prevent issues that could compromise the fence’s effectiveness.

Monitoring and Adjustments

Even after the initial training period, it’s important to monitor your pet’s behavior to ensure they continue to respect the boundary. Some pets may become accustomed to the correction over time, requiring adjustments to the collar’s settings. If you notice your pet frequently challenging the boundary, consider increasing the correction level or reinforcing training. Additionally, if you make changes to your yard’s layout, such as adding new landscaping features, you may need to adjust the boundary to accommodate these changes. Regularly reviewing and adjusting the system helps maintain its effectiveness and keeps your pet safely contained.

Conclusion

Electric fences offer a flexible and cost-effective solution for keeping pets safely contained within your yard while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor space. By understanding how these systems work, the benefits they provide, and the potential drawbacks, you can make an informed decision about whether an electric fence is the right choice for your pet. Proper training, regular maintenance, and careful monitoring are key to ensuring the fence functions effectively and humanely. With the right system in place, you can give your pet the freedom to enjoy your yard safely and securely.

FAQs About Electric Fences for Pet Containment

Here are four frequently asked questions about using electric fences for pet containment, along with concise answers:

1. Are electric fences safe for my pet?

Yes, electric fences are designed to be safe for pets. The static correction delivered by the collar is mild and intended to be a deterrent rather than a punishment. However, it’s important to properly adjust the correction level based on your pet’s size and temperament and to monitor their response during training to ensure they are comfortable.

2. How long does it take to train a pet to use an electric fence?

Training typically takes a few weeks, with daily sessions lasting 10 to 15 minutes. Most pets will learn to respect the boundary within 2 to 4 weeks, but consistent reinforcement and positive training methods are key to ensuring long-term success.

3. What happens if the power goes out?

If the power goes out, in-ground systems may stop working, which could allow your pet to cross the boundary. Some systems come with battery backups to maintain functionality during outages. It’s also important to regularly check and maintain your system to ensure it remains effective.

4. Can other animals enter my yard with an electric fence?

Yes, an electric fence will not prevent other animals from entering your yard since the boundary only affects pets wearing the receiver collar. If wild animals or stray pets are a concern, you may need to consider additional measures such as motion sensors or physical barriers.

[Intro Post]

The name’s Scott, freshly 24, and I’m from the great region of Kanto.

Moved to Hoenn on a business proposal but I feel that this transfer is permanent, not that I’m complaining as Kanto is staggeringly large in comparison. Something that I wasn’t too fond of. If you’re wondering about my job, I work remotely for INTERPOL. Serious work, I know. Nobody wants an unsafe neighborhood; my department deals with “underground Pokémon fighting rings,” we help unravel the heads behind these illicit crime syndicates. I won’t talk about my work much as it’s very heavy hitting material and I’d much rather lighten the mood than soak it all out like a sponge.

I prefer my tranquil peace and solidarity which is why I moved a bit further than one-klick west of Littleroot into a tidy log cabin stationed in the forest. In the two months I’ve been here, there has been several running-water issues that’s likely due to my friend Bruce, (my Sharpedo buddy), constantly banging on the enclosure when it’s almost feeding time.

Speaking of pals, here are the friends I’ve made and taken along my voyage:

“J.Y.D.” : This little fella is the Houndoom I adopted back in my hometown of Kanto when I was 19. We crossed paths when our group was busting one of the largest rings we’ve ever seen. She was shaken up for sure but wouldn’t let go of my pant legs! We took her and the other mistreated Pokémon to a professional care center and when that was all cleaned up, the higher-ups had to figure out ways to get them back to their original regions. To make our adjacent department’s job a little easier, instead of sending her back to Johto, I did the responsible thing and took care of her myself in my apartment. Saying that was a challenge would be a massive understatement. She would obliterate any couch she touched and destroy my rugs till there was nothing left; I’ve never seen such a playful Dark type before. There wouldn’t be a day that went by where she didn’t get her horns stuck. She was my first ever Pokémon while on my own and I can’t say I regret any of it.

Bruce : Moving into Hoenn was difficult, all of my colleagues weren’t minutes away, it was just JYD and I versus the world. That lasted about a day. Settling into my cabin took all of 4 hours with the minimal packing I had to do which meant that I could take a drive and relax by the coast, something child-me dreamed of doing. While there, I couldn’t help but notice the same Sharpedo swimming in what seemed to be a triangle-esque pattern. After getting closer, it started to breach the water bobbing up and down repeatedly. As a kind gesture for the show, I chucked a piece of raw fish its way. Now for the past 2 weeks, I’ve been coming to the same dock and feeding Bruce. Even though he’s not my Pokémon, I named it and try to see Bruce everyday. Hopefully one day I can build a substantially large aquatic aquarium and take care of Bruce one-on-one.

Rayquaza : The only work I have is online reports for the time being, meaning that I have a lot of free-time on my hands. One of my favorite things to do is hike here. After my third trip to the Hoenn Peak my 10th day here, I met a wild Rayquaza. Thankfully they’re naturally peaceful creatures as seeing that lanky, slender, snake-like body wrap around a tree and reveal its enormous body right in front of my eyes nearly had me dart to my car! Even though it’s stated that they tend to “stick to their own lane,” this one allowed me to pet its underbelly. It followed me all the way back to my cabin and is now resting on my porch, completely crushing my 2nd favorite rocking chair. At this moment I have no clue what to name them and would gladly take suggestions!

I’m always looking for new people to meet since I’m starting my blank slate in Hoenn. I do lots of hikes and lumber work in my free-time so if you ever need a new fence built, or in my case, a new rocking chair, be sure to reach out! I’m mostly friendly and don’t quite have a routine set up yet. I keep my circle of people small but that’s something I should work on, especially with how tight-knit everyone in this region seems. It would do me more good than harm.

//OOC — this is my first time doing something like this and would appreciate any kind words sent my way! I have a little story drawn up in my head and can’t wait to take those around my blog with me. Thanks again for taking the time to read this and if you have, let me know :D be sure to have a great day!
