Laurie,
This is funny, I just finished pulling a bunch of double pronged things
out of Snowball's tail. Had these burs or what ever they are, been
caught in Grover's tail , I would have been bit for each one I pulled
from his fur. I guess I got lucky but it was still quite a task to get
them all out.
Now I have to locate where these weeds are.
