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.

You know, I don't remember if I've ever gotten the director's commentary on Holocene Park? Give me the director's commentary on Holocene Park!

Holocene Park! That's a blast from the past! Do I remember anything about writing Holocene Park?

Some random things:

Holocene Park was inspired by the dinosaur Asylum Dinosaur Holmes film. While that film is a wild nonsensical ride that introduces kraken and dinosaurs into the Holmes universe, it also manages to be boring for great swathes of time. Also, there is barely any dinosaur in it! And I thought, I can do better than that.

All that mad-science stuff about how to genetically revert a chicken to a dinosaur? Was actual science that researchers were playing with at the time. The year after I published that story, there were some breakthroughs of genetically engineering chickens with dinosaur jaws or dinosaur legs. Google Jack Horner's Build a Dinosaur Project for more deets.

I wrote this during an era when I didn't have a good method for naming OCs, so I just lifted all the names from the ACD canon story, "The Creeping Man." I regret that now, as this story bears no meaningful relationship to "The Creeping Man", and there is zero thought into how I assigned names. (Don't try to pry meaning out of how I assigned the names; there isn't any.) The reason I went to "The Creeping Man" is because this story was a gift for @language-escapes, who loves dinosaurs and hates "The Creeping Man," and I'm an asshole.

(Later on I DID have Elementary x Creeping Man feelings, and wrote "Every Creeping Thing." Please see that if you want to see a proper Elementary take on "The Creeping Man".)

Some additional names are taken from Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World, which was his own ridonkulous dinosaur adventure story. Again, there's no rhyme nor reason to how I lifted the names. Again, I view this as an artistic failure.

That whole bit in the first and second chapter when they're running around by headlamp underground, trying to escape a giant killer ostritch-dinosaur? Was inspired by my sense-memories of a day spent mucking around by headlamp in Ape Cave on Mt. St. Helens. (For good or for ill, we did not encounter any dinosaurs in Ape Cave.) (Nor did we encounter any non-human apes.)

I think this was my first foray into case-fic? That said, it's more of a an adventure story than a sleuthing story: there's not much here in the way of clues, deductions, red herrings, or the like. Just lots of running and screaming and hitting monsters with sticks.

I had a whole little sideline going for a while there of writing as-shippy-as-fuck gen for Holmes and Watson pairs, and this absolutely is a major entry in that sideline. How shippy could I make it without making it romantic? Can I make it even shippier than that??

Swans. I haven't had a LOT of experience of swans (mostly just the one that bit me when I climbed over the fence at the zoo to pet it -- in my defense, I was a ridiculously tender age.) But we had geese when I was a kid, and my brother and I had whole summers that we couldn't leave the house without a weapon because the geese would menace us so fierce.

One of my co-workers knew guys from the local bomb disposal squad. We've seen them handle explosive materials. It was not possible for someone to have less respect for a potential bomb than they did.

I established my "first half of the chapter from Joan's point of view, second half the chapter from Sherlock's" structure on a whim, but it served me very well. Especially when Joan got attacked by the swan. We all knew that I wasn't going to kill Joan, so it didn't make much sense for that to be a chapter cliffhanger. But to have it work out to be a pov switch cliffhanger was a marvelous piece of luck.

I had so FUCKING much fun writing those killer swans. So much fun. I kinda want killer swanosaurs of my own for pets. Surely they'd let ME pet them, yes?

I was GONNA have all the dinosaurs (but Presbury) die during the course of the story. But readers rose up in comments and demanded that I save them. So I rewrote the ending to send the ostrichosaurs to a dinosaur-sanctuary and get them the best medical care possible. While I was at it, I saved all the chickenosaurs, too.

The Gladys thing is lifted straight from the Dinosaur Holmes movie. iirc (and it's been ten years since I watched it), during the big villain monologue, it turns out Sherlock's name is not Sherlock, but some other perfectly normal thing. Which struck us as hilariously random, and I had to include that beat. But instead of leaving it as a random wtf (like the Asylum movie did), I built it into Joan's history as a domestic violence survivor.

For all that the main story is off-the-wall bonkers, I have some real and earnest feelings about domestic violence tucked away in there. This is pretty typical for me: crack in perfect earnest is one of my specialties.

Word of God: Presbury is gonna get up to SO MUCH screamingly loud cockatoo-mischief hereafter. And Joan and Sherlock will give him everything his little dinosaury heart desires.

✰ 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.

Tagged by @nuclear-cowboy my beloved to do 15 questions, 15 mutuals so here we go

Were you named after anyone? My first name is stolen from a dnd character and a podcast character. My middle name is veeeery technically from a kpop idol?

What’s your eye colour? Brown but like deep brown almost black looking brown type shit.

Any special talents? I'm one of those bitches who's just super good at memorizing quotes. is it practically useful? no. But it's fun. I memorize whole movies for funsies.

Scary movies or happy endings? Both? It depends on my mood? As a kid i was very into scary movies but as I get older and the world happens I appreciate happy endings more which.....ahhh.... ya know?

Do you have any pets? Not currently, I used to have a cat.

What sports do you play/have played? I did fencing for like 5 years, that was my main thing. Idk not really a sports person. as a kid I did miniball, touch rugby, and gym but not of those ever stuck. I always wanted to play football (soccer not the other one) but eh.

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

Dream job? I do not dream of labor. also I have a lot of fears about not being able to hold a full time job without destroying myself for...Reasons. But like hypothetically I'd love to be a classicist or a graphic designer. or an actor but like ahhhh no.

Tagging the mutuals, sorry. This is probably not like 15 and obviously you don’t have to do this, it’s chill if you just ignore this. anyways, ur all really cool and I hope ur having a good day <3

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."

❥ - 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.]

The Essential Guide to Tree Stump Removal on the Gold Coast

If you’ve recently had a tree removed from your property, chances are you’re left with a stubborn tree stump. While the tree itself might be gone, the stump can linger, creating an eyesore and causing potential issues for your landscape. tree stump removal Gold Coast services are the perfect solution to help you reclaim your yard, improve its appearance, and prevent any future problems. In this blog, we’ll explain the importance of tree stump removal and why professional services are the best choice.

Why Tree Stump Removal is Important

Safety Concerns Tree stumps are more than just unsightly—they can also pose safety risks. A stump, especially one hidden in grass or under shrubs, can be a serious tripping hazard. This is particularly dangerous for children, elderly family members, and pets who may wander into the yard. Leftover stumps can also damage lawnmowers or other equipment, making it harder to maintain your yard. By removing the stump, you eliminate these risks and ensure a safer outdoor space.

Preventing Unwanted Growth Even after a tree is cut down, the stump can continue to sprout new shoots and growth. These new saplings may take up valuable space in your yard, compete with other plants, and become another headache. Stump removal Gold Coast services prevent this unwanted growth and help you avoid any unnecessary maintenance or frustration down the road.

Improved Aesthetics A leftover stump can severely detract from the beauty of your landscape. Whether you're hosting a backyard gathering or simply enjoying your outdoor space, an old stump is a visible reminder of a removed tree. Tree stump removal can completely transform the look of your yard, giving it a cleaner, more polished appearance. By removing the stump, you’ll enhance your curb appeal and create a more inviting space for your family and guests.

Pest Control Decaying tree stumps can attract pests such as termites, ants, beetles, and rodents. These insects can burrow into the stump and cause damage not only to the stump itself but to your surrounding plants, fencing, or even the foundations of your home. Tree stump removal eliminates the habitat for these pests, helping to protect your property and surrounding landscape from infestations.

More Space for Landscaping An old tree stump can take up valuable space that could otherwise be used for new plants, flowers, or lawn. Whether you're planning to redesign your garden or plant new trees, removing the stump frees up space for new landscaping opportunities. Tree stump removal Gold Coast services give you the flexibility to plan your yard without the limitations of a stubborn stump.

Preventing Root Damage Tree stumps often come with extensive root systems that can continue to spread beneath the surface. These roots can interfere with underground utilities, cause cracks in driveways or walkways, and even compete with other plants for water and nutrients. Stump removal, along with root removal if necessary, helps prevent these problems and ensures the health of your landscape in the long term.

The Tree Stump Removal Process

Tree stump removal is more than just digging out the stump. It requires specialized equipment and techniques to ensure the job is done efficiently and without damaging your property. Here’s what the process typically involves:

Initial Assessment A professional tree stump removal service will begin by assessing the size, location, and condition of the stump. This includes determining how deep the roots are and whether there are any nearby structures or obstacles that could complicate the removal process. Based on the assessment, they will decide on the best approach for removal.

Stump Grinding The most common method of tree stump removal is stump grinding. This process involves using a specialized machine, known as a stump grinder, to grind the stump down to several inches below the surface. The grinder chips away at the stump, turning it into wood chips that can either be used as mulch or removed from the property. Stump grinding is fast, efficient, and causes minimal disruption to the surrounding area.

Root Removal (If Necessary) In some cases, tree stump grinding may not be enough. If the stump has an extensive root system that could cause future issues, root removal may be necessary. Professionals will carefully dig around the root system to remove it completely, preventing further growth and ensuring that the area is fully cleared for new landscaping.

Cleanup and Disposal Once the stump and roots have been removed, a professional service will clean up the area, removing any remaining debris, wood chips, and branches. The goal is to leave your yard looking neat and tidy, with no trace of the stump or grinding process. In some cases, the wood chips can be left behind as mulch, or they can be hauled away for disposal.

Why Choose Professional Tree Stump Removal on the Gold Coast?

While DIY stump removal may seem like an option, there are several compelling reasons to hire a professional service for tree stump removal Gold Coast:

Expertise and Experience Tree stump removal requires knowledge, skill, and experience. Professional services have the expertise to handle all types of stumps, whether they’re large or small, shallow or deep-rooted. They can assess your situation and use the most appropriate methods for removal, ensuring the job is done correctly the first time.

Safety Tree stump removal involves heavy machinery, including stump grinders, which can be dangerous without the proper training and safety equipment. Professionals are trained to operate these machines safely, reducing the risk of injury or property damage. By hiring experts, you’re ensuring that the job is done with the highest level of safety in mind.

Specialized Equipment Stump grinding requires specialized equipment that most homeowners don’t have access to. Professional services come equipped with high-powered stump grinders and other machinery that can quickly and efficiently remove the stump without causing damage to your yard. This specialized equipment ensures that the job is done faster and more effectively.

Time and Effort Savings Removing a tree stump by hand can be a physically demanding and time-consuming task. Hiring professionals saves you time and effort, allowing you to focus on other important tasks or simply enjoy your yard without the hassle of stump removal.

Complete Cleanup After the stump is removed, professionals will take care of the cleanup process, ensuring that your yard is left spotless. This means you don’t have to worry about hauling away wood chips, branches, or other debris. The job is done thoroughly, leaving you with a clear, flat surface that’s ready for new landscaping.

Conclusion

Tree stump removal Gold Coast services are essential for homeowners looking to enhance the safety, beauty, and functionality of their outdoor space. Whether you're dealing with a stump that’s become a safety hazard, causing pest issues, or simply hindering your landscaping plans, professional stump removal is the best solution. By hiring experts, you’ll ensure the job is done efficiently, safely, and with minimal disruption to your property.

How to Make Your Lawn More Pet-Friendly

If you're a pet parent, you know that your furry friend isn’t just a pet—they’re family. And just like any other family member, they deserve a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. Your lawn, whether big or small, plays a huge role in your pet’s daily life. But is it truly pet-friendly?

A well-maintained, pet-friendly lawn care services isn’t just about having a patch of green grass; it’s about creating a safe, enjoyable space where your pets can run, play, and relax. Let’s dive into how you can make your outdoor space a paradise for your four-legged companions.

Choose Pet-Safe Grass and Plants

Not all grass types are created equal when it comes to pets. Some varieties hold up better against the wear and tear of paws, while others may be more sensitive.

Best Grass Types for Pets: Opt for durable, pet-resistant varieties like Bermuda grass, Kentucky bluegrass, or tall fescue. These grasses are resilient and can withstand heavy foot (or paw) traffic.

Avoid Toxic Plants: Many common garden plants can be harmful to pets. Stay away from azaleas, lilies, and sago palms, which can be toxic. Instead, choose pet-safe options like marigolds, sunflowers, or snapdragons.

Use Pet-Friendly Landscaping Materials

Your choice of landscaping materials can impact your pet’s safety and comfort. Hard, sharp, or toxic materials can cause injuries or health issues.

Mulch Matters: While mulch looks great, certain types can be hazardous. Avoid cocoa mulch—it contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs. Instead, opt for pet-safe options like cedar or pine bark mulch.

Safe Pathways: If you’re adding pathways, use pet-friendly materials like smooth stones, pea gravel, or brick pavers. These are gentle on paws and won’t get too hot in the summer.

Ditch Harmful Chemicals: Many fertilizers and pesticides contain harmful chemicals that can make pets sick. Choose organic, pet-friendly lawn care products to keep your grass lush and safe.

Provide Shade and Shelter

Just like humans, pets need protection from the sun and harsh weather conditions. A yard without shaded areas can be uncomfortable for them, especially during hot summer days.

Natural Shade: If your lawn has large trees, they provide natural shade. If not, consider adding pergolas, gazebos, or large umbrellas.

Pet-Friendly Shelters: A small, cozy doghouse or cat-friendly hideaway gives your pet a place to retreat when they need a break from the sun or wind.

Cooling Features: If you live in a hot climate, adding a small kiddie pool or pet-safe water feature can help keep your pet cool and entertained.

Create a Play Area for Your Pet

A pet-friendly lawn should be fun! Adding play areas keeps your furry friend entertained while also giving them a dedicated space to burn off energy.

Agility Fun: If your dog loves to run and jump, set up an agility course with ramps, tunnels, and hurdles.

Digging Zone: Some dogs love to dig—it’s in their nature! Instead of scolding them for tearing up your lawn, create a designated digging area with soft soil or sand.

Toys and Activities: Keep a selection of outdoor toys like frisbees, balls, or chew toys to keep them engaged.

Ensure Proper Fencing and Safety

A secure lawn means peace of mind. The last thing you want is your pet escaping and getting lost or hurt.

Check for Gaps: Walk along your fence line and check for holes, weak spots, or areas your pet could squeeze through.

Consider Underground Fencing: If your pet is a notorious escape artist, underground fencing or a tall privacy fence can help.

Use Pet-Safe Gates: Make sure your gate is secure and can’t be easily pushed open by an eager pup.

Maintain a Clean and Healthy Lawn

A clean lawn isn’t just visually appealing—it’s also essential for your pet’s health. Here’s how to keep your lawn fresh and safe:

Pick Up Waste Regularly: Dog waste can harm your grass and attract pests. Clean up after your pet to keep your yard fresh.

Avoid Harmful Pesticides: Many common pesticides and herbicides contain chemicals that are toxic to pets. Opt for organic or pet-safe alternatives.

Keep Grass Trimmed: Tall grass can hide pests like fleas and ticks. Regular mowing helps keep these unwanted guests away.

Conclusion

Transforming your lawn into a pet-friendly haven doesn’t have to be complicated. By choosing the right grass, using safe materials, providing shade, and creating fun spaces, you can turn your yard into the ultimate playground for your furry friend. Plus, a pet-friendly lawn isn’t just good for them—it makes life easier for you, too!

So, what are you waiting for? Grab your gardening gloves, make a few tweaks, and watch your pet enjoy their new paradise!

Effective Strategies for Rabbit Control in Your Garden

If you’re a gardener, you know how rewarding it can be to grow your own plants and vegetables. But, unfortunately, it can also be frustrating when unwanted guests like rabbits invade your garden and cause damage. Rabbits can quickly nibble through your carefully cultivated plants, ruining crops, flowers, and landscaping. Understanding how to control and manage these little garden pests can help you protect your hard work and maintain a healthy garden.

In this blog post, we’ll explore effective strategies for controlling rabbits in your garden, using a mix of prevention techniques, repellents, and humane methods. Whether you want to protect your vegetable garden or simply keep your landscaping safe, these tips can help you reclaim control.

Why Are Rabbits Attracted to Your Garden?

Before diving into rabbit control methods, it’s important to understand why rabbits are so drawn to your garden in the first place. Rabbits love gardens because they offer:

A Source of Food: Rabbits are herbivores and they enjoy eating tender plants, vegetables, fruits, and flowers. Gardens are like an all-you-can-eat buffet for them.

Shelter: Gardens, especially ones with lots of shrubs, tall plants, or mulch, provide rabbits with shelter and a safe place to hide from predators.

Favorable Terrain: Gardens often have soft soil, perfect for rabbits to dig burrows or nest in. This makes them an ideal place for rabbits to live.

Understanding these factors helps us determine the best strategies to deter rabbits from making your garden their home.

Effective Rabbit Control Strategies

Here are several strategies you can use to keep rabbits out of your garden and protect your plants from their nibbling habits.

1. Fencing

Fencing is one of the most effective ways to keep rabbits out of your garden. However, not just any fence will do. To keep rabbits from sneaking through, you need to make sure the fence is designed specifically to block their entry.

Height: Rabbits can jump fairly high, so make sure your fence is at least 2 to 3 feet tall to discourage them from hopping over.

Buried Bottom: Rabbits are expert diggers. If your fence doesn’t go underground, they may tunnel beneath it. To prevent this, bury the bottom of the fence about 6 to 10 inches deep into the ground. This will stop rabbits from burrowing under.

Mesh Size: Use a fence with small mesh openings (about 1-inch or smaller). Rabbits can squeeze through larger gaps, so the tighter the mesh, the better.

Materials: Chicken wire, hardware cloth, or welded wire mesh are all great options for building rabbit-proof fencing. These materials are durable and easy to install.

Installing a fence around your garden may require some effort, but it’s one of the most reliable ways to keep rabbits away.

2. Repellents

Repellents are another effective way to deter rabbits from entering your garden. These products work by either making the environment unpleasant for the rabbits or confusing their senses so they don’t feel comfortable. There are a few types of repellents you can use:

Scent-Based Repellents: Rabbits have a keen sense of smell, and they don’t like strong odors. You can use commercial scent repellents that contain ingredients like garlic, peppermint, or predator urine. These smells mimic the presence of predators and encourage rabbits to stay away.

Taste-Based Repellents: Some repellents make plants taste unpleasant to rabbits. These are usually applied as sprays on your plants. They typically contain bitter ingredients that make the plants taste bad to the rabbits, discouraging them from eating your plants.

Natural Homemade Repellents: If you prefer a DIY approach, you can create your own repellent. One simple method is mixing garlic, hot pepper, and water to make a spray that can be applied to plants. Another option is to use human hair, pet fur, or even used coffee grounds to sprinkle around your garden, as rabbits tend to avoid areas with unfamiliar scents.

Repellents may need to be reapplied after rain or over time, but they are a helpful tool for keeping rabbits at bay.

3. Plant Selection and Placement

One of the most natural ways to control rabbit damage is by choosing plants that rabbits dislike. If you plant things that are unappealing to rabbits, they are less likely to nibble on them.

Rabbit-Resistant Plants: Rabbits tend to avoid plants with strong scents, fuzzy textures, or prickly leaves. Consider planting herbs like rosemary, lavender, or sage. You can also try ornamental plants like marigolds, daffodils, or hollyhocks, which rabbits tend to avoid.

Edible Plants to Avoid: While rabbits enjoy a variety of vegetables, they especially love tender, leafy greens like lettuce, spinach, and carrots. If you want to protect these types of plants, consider placing them in areas that are harder for rabbits to reach or surrounding them with rabbit-resistant plants.

Planting in Raised Beds: Another option is to plant your vegetables in raised garden beds. Raised beds make it harder for rabbits to access your plants, as they have to jump up to get to the food. Adding a barrier around the raised bed (such as mesh or a small fence) can provide extra protection.

Choosing the right plants and arranging them strategically can help reduce the appeal of your garden to rabbits.

4. Mulching

Mulch is often used in gardens to help retain moisture and prevent weeds, but it can also be used as a rabbit deterrent. Certain types of mulch can make it difficult for rabbits to move through your garden or even discourage them from entering in the first place.

Spiky Mulch: Using mulch made from sharp or spiky materials, such as pinecones, stone, or coarse wood chips, can create an uncomfortable surface for rabbits to walk on. They’ll be less likely to venture through areas with this type of mulch.

Strong-Smelling Mulch: Mulching with strong-smelling materials like garlic, hot pepper flakes, or dried blood meal can also help deter rabbits. These smells will irritate their senses and encourage them to avoid the area.

While mulching may not completely prevent rabbits from entering your garden, it can make your garden less inviting.

5. Habitat Modification

Rabbits are attracted to areas that provide them with both food and shelter. By modifying the habitat around your garden, you can make it less appealing for rabbit control to settle in.

Remove Hiding Spots: Rabbits love to hide in tall grasses, shrubs, and piles of debris. Trim back overgrown plants and remove piles of leaves or sticks from around your garden to eliminate potential hiding spots for rabbits.

Clear Up Food Sources: If you have fruit trees or vegetable patches that produce fallen produce, such as apples or tomatoes, make sure to pick them up regularly. Leftover food is a big attraction for rabbits, so cleaning up fallen food will reduce the chances of attracting them.

Use Scare Tactics: Rabbits are wary creatures, and loud noises or sudden movements can scare them away. You can use motion-activated sprinklers, scarecrows, or reflective objects like aluminum foil strips to make your garden a less comfortable environment for rabbits.

6. Live Trapping

If you’re dealing with a larger rabbit population in your garden, live trapping is a humane way to remove them. Live traps are designed to capture the rabbit without harming it, allowing you to relocate the animal to another area away from your garden. Here’s how to do it:

Choose the Right Trap: Make sure you choose a trap that is large enough to hold a rabbit comfortably. Many hardware stores sell live traps specifically designed for rabbits.

Bait the Trap: Rabbits are attracted to food, so use bait like lettuce, carrots, or apples to lure them into the trap.

Release the Rabbit: Once the rabbit is caught, take it far enough away from your property to ensure it won’t return. Be sure to check local wildlife regulations, as relocating animals may require a permit in some areas.

While live trapping is effective, it can be time-consuming, and it may not fully solve the problem if new rabbits continue to enter your garden.

Conclusion

Dealing with rabbits in your garden can be a challenge, but there are plenty of strategies you can use to protect your plants and create a rabbit-free environment. From fencing and repellents to habitat modification and plant selection, there are numerous ways to deter rabbits from making your garden their home. The key is to combine multiple methods for the best results, as different strategies work better for different situations.

By taking a proactive approach and using a mix of these effective strategies, you can ensure your garden stays healthy, thriving, and free from the damage caused by hungry rabbit control.
