There Back!!!!!!

There back, those ugly little things that like to hitch a ride on your dog and suck blood, the disgusting little tick. I hate them with a passion. There have been times when I was working I did not notice until the whole floor was infested with them.

There seem to be three types, the triangular red ones, the little black ones and the big ugly gray ones that get left behind on the floor after your dog has spent time biting and licking themselves. They lay there like some kind of seed with legs. Ugh!!! These ones get special attention from me as I enjoy picking them up in tissue and squashing them making sure it will never suck blood again.

There was the time my poor Great Dane was so infected with them that after giving her a tick bath the poor wee thing lay on her side outside while thousands of them abandoned ship. I was afraid the poor dog was going to or go nuts. Last year I started putting "Tick and Flea collars on all three dogs and it really does keep the tick population from growing. So now I guess it's time to replace the old collars and get new ones. I'll get my son to give them all a tick bath first. Thank god the Great Dane doesn't have them yet.
