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.

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.
