I am wondering if it’s a grass allergy (though she’s been rolling around in the grass for the few weeks we’ve had her). She did eat a pup cone a few hours ago which is a peanut butter flavor. Was thinking bee sting but the skin doesn’t have any bumps. It’s just the fur

Yeah or did she roll or lay in something that irritated the skin on that side. I wouldn’t be too worried. But sometimes a quick trip to the vet is the best for your own mental well-being.

hives? maybe allergic to something she ate or got into? try and shave off some of the fur and see what the skin looks like..or just take to vet

78/48 brilliant

Texted the vet but a little worried. Never saw this. I was going to google it too but every time you google this stuff the return is usually some doom and gloom worst case scenario

Did a Google image and found this thread on reddit..

The weekly drought monitor is going to start being of interest across a wide part of the sub given the dryness. We need some rain soon.

Has anyone seen this happen with a dog before? Her fur is like bubbled up. She doesn’t seem in any pain or distress. Can’t feel anything on her skin

97-98 was a massive winter for my area in the southern Appalachians (100 inches plus) which shows the potential such an ENSO outcome could produce.

Here we go folks. June 2nd was the 2nd day in a row of a steep warming in 3.4 (another 0.09) (RONI up to ~+0.7C). That makes it a two day warming total of 0.18C! It hasn’t warmed at this rate since way back in mid-April. A notable but delayed warming after the start of a long and strong -SOI period is common and was in addition to model hints why I said on Monday before this two day rise to expect after the prior 15 day pause next week’s weekly 3.4 update to be a few ticks warmer:

Perfection

The "wheel of misfortune" cut off still trying ruin it for Scott!

Well it is almost officially summer after all. Enjoy!

52 this morning. Felt fantastic on my run. Can't beat that for early June.

Nice day, could be better yet could be much worse. Take

77° / 41° under clear blue skies. Doesn't get much better.

Euro apparently showing the HEAT mid-month with GFS getting warmer, too.

Chamber of Commerce Top 5 day!

Thank you Tip, I enjoyed the Op Ed. As a cement bound URI blessed denizen of the coastal plain I credit you with, sadly, a most accurate description of my cool/cold season, “four months of Autumn”. On the coastal plain this is less likely to be tongue-in-cheek. Unfortunately, as described by Hawkeye Pierce that Crab Apple Junction Maine has a white Christmas, beginning October 31st may also be less likely, nowadays. Still……. When the first real cold and threat of frozen, a flake, a mix and maybe accumulation appears, our local media, as do our forums, whoosh into a joyous anticipation. i, personally, find solace, in a calm warm summer night with gently falling showers. “Speak to me softly, like the rain” …… I still try to listen. As always…..

There is some child-like novelty to the first snow and holiday snows, and occasionally interesting events, otherwise its just a beat down of darkness and nasty

The EPS in particular seems to have a westward lean on the OLR map, which would push the RMM mean into the COD. I see less of a signal of this on the GEFS.
