Nutria and feral hogs. We found a nest of nutria this week and a family of wild hog.

Im surprised to hear that nutria are invading that far north! They are really bad in Louisiana, and no real predators to slow them down. That's too bad.

Someone had to release them. We eliminated them on the spot.

I just looked at a map that described them as having been eradicated in Indiana! They must certainly have been released! What a chitty thing to do!

We’re hoping that what we eliminated was just a one off. There were only 4.

Has anyone heard from @DobieLover yet? Wondering how Skittles is doing.

We're home. No dock. The Dr. got the mass off and the skin closed without needing to remove bone. He's doing okay. Just had a small meal with his pain and heart meds.

Looks darn good! He might be able to get around that soft collar though, have to keep an eye on him. I'm glad it went well!

He'll have a babysitter all day. I'm sure DH will be more than happy to pass on anymore painting the coop.

Are they still making coats out of nutria or is that a thing of the past? I used to handle a lot of them when I was in the fur coat industry.
