Painless burr removal

Here is a tip for removing burrs as painlessly as possible. That sweet paw belongs to Cassie the cockapoo. The trick is to hold the burr and pull the fur away from the burr a few strands at a time. As apposed to trying to pull the burr from the fur, ouch!

Be aware of your surroundings

Very sadly a dear friend of The Dusty Dog lost their precious yorkie to a vicious dog attack on Easter Sunday. It was completely unprovoked. She was on her leash at her owners ankles, literally, she is only 2lbs. The attacking dog just came running, so fast, nothing could be done. Please keep your dogs close to you and be aware of your surroundings at all times. Unfortunately there are people who keep vicious dogs and they are not in control of them. Also please discuss this issue with your neighbours and community leaders. This is an ever increasing event and we need to put a stop to it in order to protect our pets and children.
RIP sweet "Aggy"
