I hate them too ! and it isn't only in the sticks that those things grow -
I can remember going to a vet years ago and let my dog (cocker spaniel) 'do her thing' in the grass (which I didn't want her walking on because it WAS a vets office and sick dogs go there) but yup - hundreds of those stickers got on her legs - it so hard to see them in the grass
you'd think a vet would take care of their own grass and kill those suckas with weed killer
ps - my apartment's grass has them too and I'm in houston ...which is why when I walk my girls - we stay on the sidewalks. I hate it but have to wait for the months they're gone...I think they come out in early summer or late spring ? |
