Happy 2nd Birthday to Hank x Cythera’s second litter - Sam, Mojo, Maggie, Archie, Sierra, Nixie, Morgan, Reis, CJ, Benny, Gustav and Pippa! My goodness, how time flies! Thankfully they were incredibly sweet because I’ll never forget how muddy those little darlings would get - we had sooo much rain once they were old enough to go outside. We finally gave up on trying to wipe 48 little paws every time and decided it was easier just to mop the floors. After all, they were pretty good about coming inside and going straight into their pen. Ha! I’m fortunate to get to see several of them from time to time and am extremely grateful for all of their wonderful families.

Please read this article! Foxtails are incredibly dangerous for dogs and can be especially scary for those PWDs with longer coats. Not only can they be inhaled and/or get into an ear canal (or other orifices), foxtails can quickly burrow into a coat and disappear. If not found and removed, they can even burrow into the skin and enter the body that way. It’s important to familiarize yourself with what these plants look like and what to do if a foxtail breaks off and gets into your dog.

Uncover the hidden threat of foxtail plants, summer's silent adversary targeting dogs with its sharp seeds. Unveil the strategies to identify, prevent, and tackle this botanical hazard, ensuring a safe season for your four-legged friends.
