Phod want deep into the bush on our property on the weekend. I think he was probably tracking deer and eating deer poop. He didn't come back right away but I could see him. I think he wasn't coming back because he was full of burrs! He wasn't thrilled about having them removed.

Thank you for all your POTP, thoughts and prayers for the Big Guy. He is holding his own. For those who asked it was an abdominal aorta aneurysm.

Ugh burrs are nasty.
ReplyDeletePOTP for the Big Guy. He's very lucky to survive that. An abdominal aorta aneurysm killed our nephew at age 17. I hope your Big Guy makes a complete recovery.
wow that are evil little buggers... I fortunately have short furs, butt the mama feels with you BIL Phod, she is a longhaired breed and it needed 87 courses and 87 hours the de-burr her :o) hugs and potp to your grampy...
ReplyDeleteTry getting them out of a wire-haired fox terrier's thick coat...
ReplyDeleteCheers! Gail.
I can't wait for the election!
ReplyDeleteburrs are just not fun at all
ReplyDeleteOuch. I had some of those wicked things not too long ago on my back side. Mom got them out and OMP I squealed to the high heavens. I feel your pain my sweet friend. My prayers go out to the Big Guy ((Hogs and Snout Kisses)) XOXO - Bacon

ReplyDeleteYuck, having all those stickers removed doesn't look like fun!
ReplyDeleteOh Phod, I feel your pain! When we went to Texas last summer I got covered in them...and it hurt like the dickens when Mama was brushing them out of me!

MOL

Yikes! We have burrs too and boy do they OUCH! Glad you were able to get them all out.
ReplyDeleteWe know those things hurt! You better listen and no more deer poops. Was it good? Did the poops taste like chicken?

We are so glad your dad is doing better, we have been thinking about you all. stella rose
ReplyDeleteOh! Ouch, P. Getting those yanked and cut out cannot be very much fun. I guess the deer poop must've been pretty delicious to be worth it...

Wow, I bet that hurt a little! I bet the deer poops were worth it though. BOL I'm all ready for the election tomorrow and thanks for hosting our polling place.

We scotties don't like those burrs pulled out either. Some seasons, it is a loooonnnng job.
ReplyDeleteOh Phod a small price to pay for a little fun with deer poop. We're glad to hear the Big Guy is doing well and are keeping our paws crossed for him.
ReplyDeleteIt's all fun and games until the peeps bring out the comb.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,
Sully
Ouch!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the big guy is holding his own. I used to have a Samoyed when I lived on a small farm many years ago, and he'd occasionally escape and come back completely covered in burrs.
ReplyDeleteI don't envy you the removal. Keeping your family in my thoughts.

I'm so glad that the big guy is holding his own. Poor Phod - that's no fun at all.
ReplyDeleteThose burrs are the worst thing for matting up your fur. We affens don't get too many but the schnauzers are always picking them up in their leg hair and beards! Paws crossed for the Big Guy - nose licks and love from Moth xx
