I figure that I could at least be a millionaire.  In fact I have already speculated on the best way to spend the money.  Unfortunately, I don’t have the  magic solution quit figured out yet.  Mind you that this is not just any magic potion.  This  solution would solve one of the most frustrating problems facing the dog owner in  Central Oregon.  This elixir would instantaneously remove those pesky irritants that seem to collect on, or in,  the dog every year at this time.  Of course I’m referring to Cheat Grass or Fox Tails.  If there is an orifice on the dog, than the Cheat is likely to take up residence.  Be it the ears, nose, webbing of the feet, or skin, the Cheat grass will undoubtedly show up, eventually causing pain and aggravation to your pet.  Now I promise that as soon as I come up with my magic  Cheat Grass dissolver I will let all of you know.  In fact I assume it will greatly enhance the slumping stock market.  However, until that time, here are a few timely hints to try. 

• First consider having your dog body clipped if it is medium or  longhaired animal. 
• Second, trim the hair between the toes as well as the hair around the ears. 
• Finally, trim the weeds around your house and examine your animal daily to help remove the Cheat before it becomes a problem.
