Fox Tales

Hiking season is finally here!

This is The Enemy – foxtails galore.

The Enemy!

The Enemy!

Jiggs: One unfortunate day Winnie snorted a foxtail up her nose. It was awful. I watched my poor girlfriend sneeze and sneeze and shake her head for what seemed like way too long. Her poor little nose even bled. Mom and Dad stopped the hike right then and there and we all rushed to E-mer-gen-cy!

Winnie: Look what the vet lady had to take out of my nose! She had to put me to sleep to do this! It really hurt while it was in my nose!

Jiggs: So Dad went on the In-ter-net and found a solution. These masks protect us from the horrible foxtails. Here is Winnie sporting her protective Out Fox mask.

winnieWinnie: It’s not bad at all once I got used to it!

Jiggs: I don’t mind my mask at all! It’s actually kinda cool and everybody asks us about the masks when they see how safe we are from the foxtails!

Winnie: Now we can enjoy hiking without getting the Nasty foxtails into our eyes, ears, or noses!

Jiggs: And the added benefit is that Winnie doesn’t get to eat horse poop anymore! Yay!

I just *love* fresh horse poop!

We hope you can enjoy hiking season as much as we do!

love, Winnie and Jiggs
