It's also awful if you have floppy-eared dogs!

I grew up in western Nebraska and our dogs were in the vet regularly to
have cheat grass pulled out from deep in their ear.

How right you are, Amy! I remember as a kid we had a couple of cocker
spaniels, and they had a miserable time with the cheat grass getting
down in their ears. Cockleburrs were rough on them too, although they
didn't get all the way down into the ear canal like the cheat grass
seeds did. One of the dogs got really nasty about it because we had
to take him to the vet so often.
