@Tesumph here heartworms are not an invisible killer. They are just about guaranteed if a dog isn't on prevention. Inside or outside.

Oh I know. I meant that’s how a lot of the general public receives it.
Part of my spiel at the vaccine clinic was to show the heart from a dog that died from heartworms (we had one preserved in a jar) to try and show just how NOT invisible they are. Even after seeing hundreds of wiggly worms packed into that jar and explaining that it will KILL YOUR DOG, I’d still be accused of trying to pull a fast one on them and make a quick buck.
Like, okay dude, I make minimum wage and I’m trying to save you thousands of dollars in treatment, but go off I guess.
I hated that job.

Hah. Let me clarify. Mudpuff is an alternate piggy name. Along with Slugworth and the like. Can you tell I love Roald Dahl?

Horror movie runner ups. It Follows?

lol I thought it was a weird horror movie! I'm dieing!

Going to be in NOLA in October. Will mosquitoes still be bad? Will need to get bug spray.

Going to bed.

I just assumed they were less prominent in Tx. Mosquitoes are so bad here.

Btw, thought @BantyChooks and @RUNuts would appreciate this.

Oh heck no. They love the heat and humidity, it’s pretty awful here.

I would bring some jic. Our weather is silly and it's usually still hot in October so honestly they probably will still be a problem. If you plan on being outside at all in the evenings ,when it's cooler, and for any extended time period you will need a bug repellent.

that's so sad that's prevention is so hard to sell there considering that it's so common. Even here in our little podunk town, with most people living off next to nothing, most everyone knows they need heartworm prevention. That's crazy to me. Treatment can be pretty hard on an

I can't even begin to imagine what a horror movie called "Mudpuff" would entail.

I think It Follows is still on Netflix. It's a good time.

When I was a kid I used to say I wanted to live in Montana. Btw, have you decided on your biotope yet? What region are you going with?

I'm still not totally sure about starting another tank, my existing tanks need maintenance that I keep putting off.
