Oh My Gad

This is why you do not want Star-of-Bethlehem 'Ornithogalum umbellatum' in your yard. The son is pulling it out - although lovely flowers when it sets to seed - oh boy! After brushing it out and pulling it out of so many dogs, no thank you very much.

Figures I have pups to wash, puppy stuff to get ready and now seeds to do so no swimming or last swimming day for pups (sigh).

Can someone shoot me and put me out of my misery? These buggers are hard to get out.

Oh dear Darlah - well you can always say your days are never dull!. Don't worry about pool time for our little one. He'll have lots of time in ours!

Oh no! Poor baby. What a mess!

Oh Darlah, my sympathies. I have a similar problem with sweet woodruff. The tiny little green balls get lost in Jazzy's fur all the time. I have removed it from my garden this past spring.

Oh dear! :( Hope they're not as bad as burrs to get out! I remember my Mom threatening to shave me if I didn't stop getting them in my hair. LOL

Oh my, that does not look fun! Does it ever stop for you :(

I just NOW finished and still have 1 dog to brush out before pickup at 7pm. Everyone else was done and Logan and Panda after getting brushed rolled around and I said I give UP! Got the blog to do and wanted to swim and its going to rain. It WAS sunny all day. Good news Dennis got most of those plants out. It was actually hard to get them out of a few of the dogs due to the way they %^$#@ rolled in it vs. just passing by. Benji was looking to do it again and I looked at him cross-eyed, took out the brush and he went oh never mind. I didn't even speak - imagine he 'got' it.

Oh Darlah....it's horrible for you but I have to laugh at how these Havs love to get themselves into stuff! Lately I've been picking slugs out of Scruffy's paws....yuck!!!

Ewww Lori! Reently I attempted to get something out of Laci's hair and learned in the process I was squishing a worm. Gross!!! Quickly in to the tub she went.

Well Lori remember dear old Roxie at slugs throughout her coat. Dennis cleaned up under the Japanese maple too. Seems the leaves sitting there under the bed I was letting mulch was making a haven for the slugs. Need to start putting beer out again at night. It does kill them.

Those seeds were a nightmare. One dog - no problemo - many - well that's another story. Swimming weather all weekend and Nathan is at a show. Wonder if I will manage to get Cooper in today. We shall see.
