November 1, 201411 yr Don't wanna be a Dionne-Downer on Halloween, so I'll keep this short and sweet. My dog got out about two hours ago. He is super smart and tough, but there are lots of coyotes out here, and he has a bad leg, and it's kinda chilly out tonight. If you all could give a quick shout out and tell him to come home, we'd super appreciate it. He has gotten out during the day and stays pretty close to home. And, he goes out at night in our yard too. He has scared off a few snakes, a racoon and a porcupine (with a few quills to the nose), but he has never gotten out of the yard at night. We are worried about the coyotes. We have heard them very nearby in the wee hours of the night. :( His name is Rocky. He is an awesome dog, and we love him. :) My hubby has been out all night walking around looking for him. :( Thanks.
November 1, 201411 yr Author Thanks!!! Y'all are so fast. Our Rock Dawg is back!!! Full of stickers, out of breath, hot, hungry, sweaty, but totally fine! THANKS!!!!! :)
November 1, 201411 yr Aw, so happy he made it back home safe and sound, :wub: as much as we love our 4 legged kids, they really do add to gray hair from worry sometimes don't they? :rolleyes:
November 1, 201411 yr Thanks!!! Y'all are so fast. Our Rock Dawg is back!!! Full of stickers, out of breath, hot, hungry, sweaty, but totally fine! THANKS!!!!! :) Glad he is back! What's a sticker?
November 2, 201411 yr Author Here is Rocky after he got home last night. He found one of his chewies. He loves his chewies. :) Thanks for your thoughts!!! The little stink! :)
November 2, 201411 yr Author Glad he is back! What's a sticker? You don't know what a sticker is???? It's a pokey thing from plants that gets stuck in fur or in your socks. I'm not sure how to explain it. I tried to copy a picture, but it wouldn't let me copy it. Like a thorn, but they fall off plants.
November 2, 201411 yr If we are thinking of the same thing, we call them burrs....and they look like this...so sticky and hard to get rid of...
November 2, 201411 yr Oh I thought they were those sticky backs as we call them, big long green things that stick to everything, kids are always chucking them all over each other and me!!!!
November 2, 201411 yr Nancy's right, burrs are one kind of stickers, here's another type.. Action, do you not have these evil prickly things in the UK?
November 2, 201411 yr Plenty of Burrs here... Good to see I'm right on the ball again.... Let me catch up... Oh - I hope Rocky comes home soon.......(()) He's back! Yay! Honestly - Im going to have to brush up on my surveillance of the train. It's all getting too fast for me!!
November 2, 201411 yr Oh I thought they were those sticky backs as we call them, big long green things that stick to everything, kids are always chucking them all over each other and me!!!! Yes, Sue, the "sticky things" we had as kids were called burrdocks. My brother thought it was very funny to throw burrdocks at my hair. Wow! Did it ever hurt to get the burrdocks out. I think that was one time my mother really put her foot down with my brother.
November 4, 201411 yr Thanks for the explanations, guys! I think I would call them burr's too. Sue, I remember those! Used to throw them like darts when I was a nipper at school! Petra, your dog is so handsome!
