You can see them almost anywhere you look. Most are owned by some one who Is interested in keep ing him healthy and happy. This week we will discuss one of the ways of doing this. Another thing Heppner has nlentv of this time of year Is Cheet and Fox-tail, so it's only natural that dogs and these small menaces get together. Look your dog over carefully and you will probably find enough of both stuck in him to plant both sides of the highway from Heppner to Lexington! Leave these little monsters on your dog and soon you will have a mighty unhappy dog. Signs of his discomfort are shaking of head, scratching at ears, limping, and swollen areas. If this does happen be sure to take him to the Veterinarian right away. Usually you can avoid the trip if you take a few precautions. Pull the hair out from between your dog's toes and clip it off with sharp scissors, then every day or so run your finger between all his toes and feel for seeds. Run your fingers underneath where his legs join and search for seeds, then brush him all over. Cut the hair from around the open ing of his ears so it won't lead seed Into the ears. Even very short haired dogs need this care. Remember, just 5 minutes every other day can save you time and money, and your pet much misery! Boardman News Visitors last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Rash were their daugthers, Mrs. Ted Penages and children Mi chelle and Shawn of Wilder, Idaho, and Mrs. Bill Getz and sons Stanley and Steven of Mil-ton-Freewater.
