Who would think a minor nuisance could be deadly? PLEASE check your dog very carefully for these. You may save their life or costly vet visits. Toe monsters are the least of your worries.

⚠️ Important Foxtail Grass Warning for Dog Owners

I wanted to share some information that many pet owners may not be aware of.

Foxtail grass seeds are common in Missouri and can be extremely dangerous to dogs. These small, bacteria carrying barbed seeds easily attach to a dog's coat and can become lodged in the paws, ears, nose, eyes, or skin, but they don't stop there. Please keep reading!

What makes foxtails especially concerning is that once they pe*****te the body, they typically do not come back out on their own. Their barbed structure allows them to continue moving forward through tissue, often causing pain, inflammation, and infection along the way.

If left untreated, foxtails can migrate deeper into the body and may eventually reach internal organs, where they can cause serious medical complications. Veterinary treatment is often required to locate and remove them.

Signs that may indicate a foxtail problem include:
• Excessive licking or chewing at the feet
• Limping
• Head shaking or scratching at the ears
• Persistent sneezing or pawing at the nose
• Red, irritated, or swollen eyes
• Swelling, abscesses, or draining wounds

As a groomer, I've removed foxtails from several dogs over the years, and I've found that many owners are unaware of how dangerous they can be. Because of those experiences, I wanted to remind everyone to regularly check their dogs, especially between the toes, around the ears, and after spending time in grassy areas.

A foxtail may seem small, but it can lead to a very serious health problem if it is overlooked.

Please take a few extra minutes to check your pets—it could save them from pain, infection, and an expensive veterinary visit.

Feel free to share this post to help spread awareness and keep more pets safe. 🐾

Is anybody else having an issue that every time Samsung doesn't update your sim card quits. This has happened twice in the last 2 weeks and it's only during an update. I have spent hours and hours on the phone with Straight Talk that assures me that the Samsung updates have no way of wiping out the SIM card it has to be the phone or the SIM card. Phone was working fine woke up yesterday to another update I restarted and unlocked my phone to find out sim card bought last week after an update, was no longer functional and apparently destroyed. I have no access to texting calling and worst of all my point of sale program and scheduling. I cannot take payments and I'm about fit to be tied because the man from straight talk basically told me that this isn't possible. I told him to Google cuz apparently it's all over Google. Especially the Galaxy A52 and a53. I'm not sure what to do at this point so I'm sorry if things are a little doggy around here get it doggy?, but I am really struggling and I do not want a new phone I want Samsung and Straight Talk to have a little conversation to figure this out. I have spent so many hours on the phone with them in addition to all the research that I've done that all goes back to the same thing, the updates are messing up the cards. I cannot find a way to shut off the updates only to schedule different times. I cannot afford to buy a new phone cuz I don't want a cheap one I want a good one and this is a good one. So just apologizing if things are coming to you via my husband's phone or some other way until I figure this out. Thank you for your patience. Good day my landline is equally glitchy at the moment but if you need to reach me that is the only way right now . 417 - 54 3-5335 I love each and everyone of you. I am sending a screenshot of one of my chats that I spent well over an hour on and the gentleman says he is going to take ownership and we're going to get this taken care of. The very next message says I'm 32 in the queue!!!!!!!
