    Great info! I recently stumbled across this plant growing in a mulch bed while visiting a plant nursery . I dug a few up with their roots and took them home. I wanted to know if these will survive and are they invasive?

    No. While this seems to make a lot of sense, this little babe is wrong in not recognizing that there is a great deal of difference between breeds in their feet. She is presuming that in dogs the nails and the feet are somewhat splayed. In some breeds, such as Pointers and Shelties, round well-knuckled "cat feet" are considered a fault, but in others they are mandatory. For example, Dobermans. Giant and Standard Schnauzers, Bull Terriers and Akitas are described as “Feet well arched, compact, and catlike, turning neither in nor out.” Brittany standard even says that “An ideal foot is halfway between the hare and the cat foot." Some breeds of course have webbed feet, and they will obviously be more open. It is an interesting video, but there is a wide variety of feet in purebred dog breeds.

    Hi, today I was on a trail, it is 13C with snow melting all through the woods. I heard what sounded like frog sounds under the snow and my dog started digging like mad at that spot. I pulled him away and the sounds continued. A few feet away another spot was making the same sounds. Could they have been frogs emerging??

    Good explanation- would have been good to mention the modern day vacuum system nullifies the need for the freeze/thaw cycle. My question- that no one seems to want have an answer- If there is no hole in the tree or freshly broken branch, does the sap move at all during “sugaring season”? Seems if it does, it would be raining sap in the woods because there’s not leaves to transpire the moisture. My thinking is - no, it’s just sitting there in the tree until the leaves bud out. Then there’s movement of sap within the tree. Thoughts?

    Coyotes are tracking my dog. I know the prints. Hind paws are smaller. I stay with my dog at all times. They refuse to let me see them. I know my dog's paw prints. They are cleaner than Wiley Coyote .

    Fabulous video! While I knew there were coyotes in a field and forest beyond my house, I wasn't sure if the tracks I've seen recently were dogs or the 'yotes. I thought they were the coyotes, and every bit of this video confirmed it. Thank you!!

    Thank you for this explanation, I was looking into refreshing the basics. However, the 'air bubble theory' has been disproven. Although it has an influence, the major mechanism is called the osmotic theory. See Cirelli et al. (2008) - Toward an improved model of maple sap exudation: the location and role of osmotic barriers in sugar maple, butternut and white birch
