Mr Taggart got ANOTHER foxtail up his nose yesterday. This is his third one and he hasn't even been with me for two years yet.
The first one he got at our house and it was because the weed-eater was broken. That will NEVER happen again. The next two have been at my brothers while we were away. My poor SIL feels horrible, but she can't help it. I just told them that he is now grounded. He cannot be outside without being on a leash or a tie-out. I'm going to bring a tie-out cable we have next time we go up, so he can still run around but not through the weeds.
Are there any other suggestions on how to avoid this? Cutting down the weeds would be a HUGE chore since they have several acres. My SIL was talking about getting a couple goats (her friends goat just had babies), I'm sure that would do the trick.My brother wants to invent a mask type thing to go over the nose. I don't know how well that would work, he'd probably just paw it off.
They want a solution because they don't want any of their dogs getting them either. Especially little Abbie Girl since she's so close to the ground.
I'm open to hear any other ideas if anyone has any experience with this problem. Thanks!
