Neighbor's crew began before sunrise, couldn't believe it man.

We had neighbors kitty corner behind us who had a tree fall on their house during Beryl.  Months later, they were finally having the roof repaired and the crew working on it were literally up there in the dark at like 6:30am (yes, p math errors for sure).  I was in disbelief.  So unbelievably unsafe.

Miu was inspecting it to see if she could re-eat it, almost certainly that goal man.

Gross.  Usually our dog gets to it and then it sends her into a state of infected guts because she's allergic to animal protein.

Miu was months overdue for an all-wheel manicure, agitated miu man.

You should see if there is a vet tech who would come to your house and trim them.  Typically they charge way less and Miu would probably be more amenable to a visitor rather than a car trip to the vet.
