Dr. Mel: "You have two choices. I can do invader surgery, or we can go the old slash-and-burn laser route.

Mel’s got a cure… so long as PTG isn’t afraid of needles…

It’s driving him nuts.

There’s tree of them.

An acute case of fur-on-fir.

Bring in the dog.

Whew! It could be worse. I thought it was going to be a bad case of “tinsilitis” left over from Christmas.

Careful pine tree dude, they go for the nuts.

He has medical service dog. It can detect squirrel attacks before they happen.

I wonder if he was being knotty

Dr. Mel: “You have two choices. I can do invader surgery, or we can go the old slash-and-burn laser rout.”

Don’t beat yourself up. This happens to lots of trees.

PTG guy looks more like a Douglas Fir. At least in GA, pines are tall thin trees with the needles at the top.

That’s nothing! I have bats in the belfry!

Needs some lab work. Where is that lab? Blackie?

HEY! Lay off! Squirrels are a blessing! Really!

Not really Dr. Mel’s specialty. Surprised Pine-Tree Guy didn’t go to Cedars-Sinai.
