on Monday May 20th, 2013 at 03:00 PM
Kylie
This time of year, our pets are spending more time outside and there are more foxtails than ever which means the odds your pet will have a foxtail incident are greatly increased.
Foxtails are plant parts that serve to disperse grass seeds. They are composed of a hard tip and several spikelets which easily cling onto pet fur.

I have a trading card on my refrigerator of a police dog named MP. I met MP when I was doing a ride-a-long with a friend of mine who is a police officer here in Anchorage, Alaska. We had gone to a park to look for a woman who had gone in to a diabetic shock and wandered in to the woods. MPs handler handed me the trading card when I asked the dogs name.
