Little vampires....
 

Ticks.....

tally since noon yesterday.....3.

they're everywhere

my skin is crawling....I think I need to go strip and shower AGAIN....

We pulled 9 off my girlfriend's dog yesterday, and her mum had another 2 on her.

I got about 4 hours sleep last night, kept waking up feeling itchy.

I was going to say something funny but I'm going to pass :blush:

That being said, I've been feeling the same thing. The slightest itch and I think a tick is on me. It's near paranoia.

-spence

i only walk the dogs on the railpath at the moment, alhough the have carte blanche in the backyard.
Did update the frontline last weekend

Just working in the yard this weekend I flicked 3 deer ticks off.

Same here--those were dog ticks.

But we took about 6 deer ticks off one of my dogs yesterday.

They're so bad that I wheeled my lawnmower from the shed to the front yard yesterday (I cut the back yard Friday night), and when I went to press the primer bulb, I saw a dog tick crawling across the deck :doh:

I hope the bass have as banner a year as the ticks seem to be having :rollem:

Easy tiger...:biglaugh:

Yeah I got the paranoia thing going on pretty good. I am thinking about shaving my head.....:smash:

............4 :doh:

14 dog ticks and 3 deer ticks pulled off the dog throughout the day yesterday.

Spray some daizinon or Seven in the backyard. Thats a deterent to ticks. They are bad though this without question. I can't get the pup to stand still for a tick inspection, so when I am patting is when I try checking all over.

Unfortunately, the dog picks them up as she runs in the woods lining the national seashore in Truro.

Nothing can be done aside from checking her a few times a day and when she comes into the house.

Well, we got the bad news from the vet on Thursday--both of our dogs tested positive for Lyme :(

Now they're on doxycycline.

We got a little careless with keeping up with their Frontline over the winter, and that was all it took.

It'll be a freaking miracle if me or the wife makes it though the spring/summer without getting it. :doh:

Worse and worse every year.
