Tired to mow yesterday. Fookin' mossies are so bad, UGH. Going to go out early in the morning and see if it's better.

Either way, I wouldn't have closed it if there was one.I think the issue was a clogged fuel line. But in trying to pull it off I managed to rip it. So I'll have to find a replacement line this week. At least it's supposed to rain all week...There's no valve on any lawnmower I've or my family have owned my whole life. And that includes riding mowers, lawn tractors, snow blowers, weed trimmers, chain saws, etcI have seen a lot of lawnmower that have a little gas shut valve , mine has one

Mossies = mosquitoes.
What do those of you with dogs do for lawn care? My back yard is slowly going to hell because I don't want to spray or spread anything that the dogs might get into or eat. I was using some WD-40 today to loosen up a pair of pliers and some spilled into the sidewalk. Next thing I knew there was a dog grinding her shoulder across the the spot. I tried manually removing dandelions (with the awesome Fisker tool) but the remaining hole just seems to attract the dogs to dig. They don't normally dig but disturbed ground seems to trigger them to try. I don't really have a big problem with pee spots but it would be nice to kill some weeds and fertilize with something that works and wouldn't harm the dogs. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions?My solution was adding interlock and a pool. Arrow pees on the bushes still so it was a bit of trial and error to find pee resistant vegetation. Cedars are pee prone but yews don't seem to be. Same with Burning Bush or Russian Sage, all good choices.Railton
