| Ouch...bur in my sock! Feel a bur, pick up your Yorkie!!! Where I live in Washington we do not have many bur bushes. Camping in Oregon we took a walk along the Columbia River. I felt a poke in my sock. Pulled the bur out and kep walking. Learn from my mistake look closely at this picture! I had to rip Starr eye holes through her fur. I fugure she 1000 burs from her head to her front legs...mostly on her face. Since we were camping...no scissors, I doust her in mayo ( a trick from my equestrian days to remove sap) and went at the burs with the flea comb. 2 hrs of tugging at her fur and a very greasy dog we were done. She burped mayo for days...New nickname thanks to my other half...Jose hey Mayonaise and Raymond Burr although Starr is female. |

| Definations of bur: 1. 1. A rough prickly husk or covering surrounding the seeds or fruits of plants such as the chestnut or the burdock. 2. A plant producing such husks or coverings. 2. 1. A persistently clinging or nettlesome person or thing. 3. A rough protuberance, especially a burl on a tree. 4. Any of various rotary cutting tools designed to be attached to a drill. |

| That must have hurt something awful...for both you and Starr! Poor little thing! Glad they're history and hope Starr is feeling fine again!

| Lovely burs!!! Mojo hiked his leg on a "bur bush" along our walking trail one day - talk about a mess! - He couldn't walk or anything! That wasn't very fun - needless to say, some of his long locks were cut, so they were different lengths. During the same, we try to keep Mojo in a puppy cut or close to it - we are avid outdoors people and we are constantly outside during the warm weather. Plus, I'm a BIG FREAK and I have a doggy first aid kit + our first aid kit - heck, I even keep one of those small travel rolls of toilet paper in a waterproof or ziplock bag, even if we canoe or hike or on fourwheelers!
