I remember a camping trip when I pulled into a park to stay for the night, opened the camper door and my dog jumped out and immediately went down on the ground and wouldn't move. I picked her up and her paws and underside were covered with burrs. We spent the rest of the evening trying to get them all off of her. Poor little girl. She was a bit nervous about exiting the camper for the rest of the trip.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17947028.post-76873839708806236852013-08-23T10:06:05.411-04:002013-08-23T10:06:05.411-04:00Enjoy.
