Default Grass eating devils!!

Hi,

was reading your post and I am having the same trouble with my four month old Barclay. I don't have a fenced yard that he can run around in, so we go for walks three to four times a day. These walks are more races, he runs, pulls on the leash to get to the grass, dandelions, rocks, paper . . .anything that is within a spit second of his reach!!
I had him to the vet last week because he had so much pollen in his sytem he vomitted his complete breakfast and more. No parasites in his poop, just a bunch of pollen and a few sticks. . .devil I tell you, he's quicker than than the eye!!! Anyways, my vet suggested I get a muzzle as well. She said they have them at PetSmart and they will assist you in getting the right size for your baby! I currently found a temporary solution. . .I found a soft ball, just big enough for him to hold in his mouth. . .he only get's it when we go outside. So now he sits by the door when I say outside and waits for me to put the leash on and won't move until he sees the red ball and I put it in his mouth. From there we are off, it's a quick walk, enough to do his duties and see some neighbors, but not enough for him to get bored with the ball and get interested in the grass and other paraphenilia available to him. Once he drops it. . .we're back in the house playing with toys. Hope this helps, good luck. . .
