| I woke up to THIS... Wow, so I made a post a while ago about the terrible burrs we have around here. Little stickers that get stuck soooo bad in Abbey's hair. Well they usually only get stuck in her legs and it is terrible. Well this morning she comes in and she is absolutley covered. Head to toe. It was so sad bc even her little face was just...matted down with stickers. The BF said he took her out and that she rolled in them. It took over an hour to get them all out and she lost a lot of hair. I would say there was easily over 100 in her hair. I had to share bc this was just unblievable. I didn't take a pic of them in her hair but this is the aftermath... And I apologize for this poor quality...cell phone pics. 1. That's a plastic tupperware FILLED with the burrs we took out. 2. Burrs and hair...so sad. 3. My poor baby. 4. Sweet baby resting after the ordeal.

OMG that's ALOT ! you can go out and pull or kill those burr plants - we had a few in my yard and I'd yank those suckas up so fast not one burr would survive.... my apartment I just moved to has them - I avoid those areas now that I know where they are - they're awful aren't they ???? | |

And thanks for your concern about Abbey, she was very happy when it was over. I kept telling her "I HAVE to do this, I'm sorry."

| Awww, poor Abbey! How awful! I have Max shaved down all the time (esp. for summer)...if she has the kind of coat he's got, they end up feeling like a little seal they're so silky-soft! I love it when he first gets done. Madison on the other hand has not such nice hair, so he can't get shaved like that...and the poor little guy; he's the one who gets matted so badly. Hopefully your BF won't be taking her wherever he walks her anytime soon!
