This is what a hornet can do to a horse fly. Typically hornets will not bother you unless you bother them but I can see in a public area the need for them to be gone. I had a nest above my basketball goal one summer and we all got along fine. My dad said if you shoot a hornets nest with a 22 the hornets will follow the trail of the bullet back to you, never tried to see if that was true.

Doing trail work every summer, we get stung, multiple times each year. So we eliminate them as they are found. We also carry epi pens with us. That species will survive but a person might not the next 2 stings.

It is with a very heavy heart and complete sadness that I am announcing that I had to put my 8 year old Frenchie "Pierre" down just this past Tuesday, shown here guarding my then 1 month old 2020 S/Cab.

Pierre's body was ravaged by a rare form of lymphoma, the wretched disease spread rapidly through his body in a matter of days.

The second pic shows him @ a photoshoot just this past April.

Mahalo for the kind words!
I was so incredibly attached to him, he gave us 8 years of joy, protection and unwavering devotion.

It took some time before the RV Park owners agreed to this, but here is a picture of Tito being given his first lesson on how to drive the park's John Deere tractor....

Hi Mark,

He will live 80 to 100+ years....He is in our trust to be placed in the Tucson Sonoran Desert Museum's tortoise adoption program upon our passing. The Museum has strict requirements for adoptive custodians to meet. He will be in good hands..

I would like to clarify one thing about Tito...He was born into captivity. He was not "stolen" from the desert. Arizona law requires captive tortoise to remain captive their entire life. Two main reasons

1. These tortoise are fed and loose their ability to forage for their food
2. We humans handle these tortoise and as we are virus carriers we pass these beguine viruses to the tortoise. AZ Game and Fish has a goal to keep the wild population virus free by requiring captive tortoises to be in the hands of designated custodians as Tito is with Margie and me.

Best,
Phil
