Granny's gone and done it again

[pertnear09]

The tree on the left is being removed. Too close to the power lines and power company is paying for removal. But, since the rates have gone steadily up over the past several years, I guess we are really paying for the tree service!

Is that Douglass?

She isn't underweight. She is 9 pounds and the vet said she was healthy. I have tried it. She doesn't like it. She has had raw before, so thats probably why she doesn't like kibble. I would say she might be a little spoiled, but she never gets human food.

Spoiled as in extremely picky.

Is that Douglass?

Yes. Both are. I'm glad we get to keep the other one. Turns out our view has not changed much losing that tree.

Some people really EARN their money!

Then u need to teach her to eat. Don’t beg her to eat. She will eat when she gets hungry.

That's wild, @wishingforwings. So they are effectively removing the slash before they drop the trunk?

Look at the bright side. At least they are willingly taking it down. When I lived in Central IL I had two nasty Japanese Elms by the edge of my front yard that the city claimed were on their property. I argued it with them as I wanted them cut down. They were forever dropping limbs on the street that I couldn't get them to remove and one was leaning over my house.

Finally I had the property surveyed and found out that one tree was on my side of the property line and the other was half on half off.

I immediately had the one tree cut down. Forked out 1200 dollars for the work. Then called the city and said either they take down the second tree or the half on my property was going to mysteriously die. The previous winter it had dropped a big 8 inch limb across the street one winter morning and nobody would move it so I could get to work. A man delivering the paper stopped and helped me get it moved to the side of the street so I could get out.

They were stunned and said surely I was joking. The city was a Tree City after all. I told them I had already planted two new ornamental trees in my yard that were much nicer than a Japanese Elm and yes I was serious. The tree was going to meet with an untimely death if they didn't fork over some money and make it go away. Then they would HAVE to remove it.

A week later here came a tree service in to take the tree down. Only took me three years of calls to get it done but finally made it happen.

So if I could have gotten them to willingly take down a nuisance tree without threats, I would have been doing a happy dance in the middle of the street.

Thank you. You seem to have the same thought process as Twist. I am currently just leaving the food there. Do you think I should take her bowl away and give it to her at set times or just leave it there?
