Of course he got pissed and went after her, but we got them separated before anything happened. He's at the vet right now. We went straight there. He's going to have a small piece of his ear cut the rest of the way off and have it cauterized.

Gave my number to the lady who texted it to her son. He texted me and said if I need anything, to let him know. Texted him a picture of the Vet bill - $700 and asked if he was cool splitting it. He already Venmo'd me his half of it.

Poor little guy. I'm heartbroken for him. Head liner in my truck is a little blood spattered from when he shook his head, but the rest of it cleaned up fine. Thankfully the back seat has a doggie cover. Those tiny droplets are not going to come off the headliner, so I ain't even gonna bother.

Think he's gonna be wearing the cone of shame for a week... poor puppy dog. 😞

I bet you can get the blood out of the headliner if you approach it right. Any ideas DanM?

It's acting like the furnace does when the limit switch gets tripped. Which has been happening more frequently and super sensitive to having a perfectly clean filter.

I can turn it off, wait a bit, turn it on and it'll cool for about an hour. But then the compressor eventually unloads confirmed with amprobe and continues to run the compressor fan.

I dont think the compressor failed.

I suspect it's a freezing/airflow issue at the evaporator. Makes sense that the heat has been troublesome and now AC as well. If the heat exchanger evaporator assembly is covered in dirt, it's gonna restrict airflow, cause overtemp conditions with heat and freezing with AC.

HVAC dude coming Monday. I dont really know how to get at the evaporator core. And I'm not interested in finding out. Basement is still comfortable. I gotta throw my window unit in the bathroom to dry out the drywall mud though.

Hydrogen peroxide.

Tiny specks put some on a qtip.

My dog's been wearing the cone for 5 years. She obsessively bites the fur and skin off her arms. I've taken her to the vet twice for it, they offered sedatives or cone.

She likes the cone like most dogs with their collar. If it's off, she nudges it with her nose and whines till it's put back on.

She grows cysts in her skin, I think that's why she goes after her arms. Every few months I open the ones I can find, drain and flush em out. But then she grows more. She can go without the cone for a while after I drain the big ones. But she still prefers to wear it regardless.

Lead be example, Alpha male.

So I made a sponge cake, sent them a picture, and I'm holding their half for ransom until they bring me some whipped cream...

If you depress the contactor in the outside unit and the compressor starts then it's either the contactor or the thermostat.. a dirty coil would cause a freeze-up.. but it's prolly a good idea to get it cleaned anyways.. 😟
