rules to help us get along - Page 5

I found a place locally I can now get tea in the leaf form.  And the tea press to brew it in.       What a difference from the store bought tea bags.  A nice hot cuppa does sound good right now. 

Cashel does a nice job on fly masks and other fly protection equipment.  Maybe sombody should suggest one to them for the GSD?

I love Cashel's stuff. I hate SWAT. And I'm curious about the tea press. I was told about coffee presses which would be really handy for when on callouts. I HATE instant. Do they work well?

We had a hell of a problem with foxtails when we lived back East. I bet there would be a market for a head net for dogs.

I love both my tea and coffee presses.   
This is the tea press I have: http://www.espressozone.com/4337.html
This is the coffee press I have:  http://www.espressozone.com/9182.html
The coffee press works for tea also if you only want to get one.

Maybe I'll look into one. The damn perculator thing is worse than no coffee at all. Well, almost.

Foxtails?????????????????????   Someone please enlighten me.... the only ones I know of are what come from those tall reeds down by water...

 foxtails look something like wheat but the seed heads catch on and have a way of creeping deeper and deeper into the ears of dogs, horses etc and can cause pain and infection. A wild weed they are. Not the kind by the water those are different if I'm thinking of the same ones you are. I think the ones by the water are cat tails.

It's because each of the "hairs" that make up the seed head is barbed and very sharp, so they go deeper and deeper.  It is not even uncommon for them to go through the bottom of the dogs foot, even through the tear duct of the eye and get very badly infected.  If Louise reads this post, I'm sure she has some nasty foxtail stories from when she worked at vet hosp.  

They are around an inch long, and each plant has many seed heads.

 Foxtails are nasty and "sticky" feeling. They get into everything. Thanks for the picture, no wonder you are on the board of directors on the Shepuahua project. Smart cookie. I can almost feel those darn things while looking at the picture.

I think you all should have a nice, warm, cup of 3 Ballerina Tea.

Try it...really...the results are fascinating.  It will even give you time away from the computer while you work things out in the Head.

4pack - lol - you can bake me cookies and I'll do the sewing...I am working on my handquilting skills :):):)

Animules - How are the results with that thing?  I tend to like my teah very green...as far as my coffe pot - it's a machine that uses LaVazza pods...aaah, how it satisfies my need for Italian Coffee!

Cheers :)
