opacity questions - modeling

[Kyoske]

so I'm wondering what would be the best way to go about creating fur around hoofs. I'm creating a ram for a project and i would like to mimic the effect show in the image below. Now i don't know if there is a way to connect a few flat planes to the model or do i just attach them to the model and make the textures mesh together. I just don't know the best way to do this. Help!!!!:brick:

oops forgot the image.

Just use the attatch option this will make them part of the 0-1 space for texturing.

I figured as much, just wasn't sure of there was a better way that I was missing. ty
