If your dogs run loose look out for grass seeds sticking into them. Blackie has infected places again. I have antibiotics from last year because he does this every year. Only it usually happens in June. Long haired dogs and cats are susceptible. We had a groundhog last week and it stirred everyone up around here. Blackie is 12 and usually just lays around, so I don't know when he feels bad. There are many excavations because of the heat under my shrubs.
