Poor Anna, Jake and Bear. They are homeless today. Luckily they are still alive to be homeless...but homeless none-the-less.
We have about 40 black oak trees on our property and one of them decided to keel over last night....took out the dog house and part of the dog kennel fence.
Those oak trees are so unpredictable. I have one that is dead, one half dead...and both of those are still standing tall. But one of the live ones just snaps in half with no warning signs.
The dogs still have plenty of shade and have a soft place to sleep until DH can get them a new one built.
Makes me a little leery of all these HUGE oaks around my house...they definately could do damage if they fell.
I guess thats why we maintain homeowners insurance.
Time to look into some major tree trimming.

We have a tree guy that we hire offseason (Nov-Mar), and he gives us a daily rate rather than a per-tree rate. It seems to work out better when there's a lot to be done...
