February Pet Of The Month.

Jaap, are those some kind of sticky things on Gina? Here in the US, my pup picks up what I called "sticktites." They are much smaller than thistles and an absolute horror to remove.

Sorry for the late answer Herr Dr, I was awefully busy.

Yes, its like a small diamond, but green and very sticky.
Every evening I clean Gina, some work but ok. But Maya, our guarddog doesnt like it to get cleaned at all

[Herr Dr. Professor]

"...a small diamond, but green and very sticky." That sounds like exactly what I call "sticktites." Three years ago, frustrated with sticktites, I paid a local specialized firm replace my "exotic" weeds with "indigenous" woodland edge plantings. Two years later I found out that the plants with "sticktites" are part of the indigenous plantings. Aaarrrrgh!

yes you should be careful with asking for indigenious plants.


this also grows locally in the wild here

[Herr Dr. Professor]

And it sells well in some of the states here.

How many of the dogs and cats we pictured above in this thread are now gone? Chicory, pictured above on page 1 of this thread, succumbed to diabetes today, nine and a half years old, having lived much longer than most dogs with diabetes. Sic transit gloria mundi.

My sincere condolences, HDP. They are family. Full stop.

Mike.

I feel very sorry for you, Herr Doctor.


(our dogs multiplied it seems, from 2 we went to 4. Found one puppy in the garden when it was -35, so took it in, and a year later they brought 2 stray puppies with them, we kept one and found another home for the second))

That's a shame, sorry to hear that Doc.
Sadly we lost Bailey this year due to liver cancer, on the third of May, aged 13. (Page two of thread).
Just Tilly and a wife eating house spider or two left.

[Ad Lav]

Sorry for your loss.

We lost Ellie four years ago to cancer.

Domino has now joined us - a nutty pointer cross.
