Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Anyone else get them in your area? I hate that they are so unavoidable. I just picked 8 of them off Maggie. I can't wait to not live here in this area and have them all over the property!

For those of you who don't know what they are.

They catch onto their fur and actually can get into the skin. I rarely get ticks but this are bad too.

Yup. They have an area at the dog park I go to full of them... Kiara doesn't get them very much though.

Thankfully we don't have those down here, but we do have sand spirs. I see those foxtails when I visit WY. They really do suck and they're everywhere!

I dont think I have ever seen those around here. We do have cattails though Wink, they dont leave stickies all over you, or get stuck in your skin. They are pretty to look at.

Ugh YES! I hate them. I always do a between the toes check on kale and violet after walking along the canal where i live. Foxtails keep the vet clinics in business thats for sure. The naaty ones are when they get them up the nose. Not fun.
