YUCK!!! I hate ticks too.
Good thing you found that sucker.
Ticks really gross me out! I remember back home when my dog would get one I would run to my dad to pull it out because I didn't want to be anywhere near it!
EEEKK!!!! :eek: That tick is huge! *turns green*
Glad Malone is okay.
Yes, I do know. I was meaning in the more urban parts (I-5 corridor/Puget Sound region/greater Seattle area)... IE where I live (yes, I was being selfish ;)). I've never heard of them being in "these parts", my vets have always assured me there is no cause for concern :) They still give me the creeps...Quote:

Glad to see you releived Malone of that nasty guy. Great picture could be a good referance pic.
GAG! :eek:
UGH! That reminds me of Cody's 1st tick- I had never had a dog, so never saw one, so I rushed him to the vet one night, crying that he had a growing black spot on his nose that I couldn't get off. Much to their amusement, it was a tick and I was so grossed out I almost barfed. They even had a pill container full of them for disposal (with cotton and alcohol). And I have a pretty strong stomach.
Logan's had 2, and because her hair is dark, I only found them because I give her massages in the morning. If the world came to an end, I swear, the only things that would survive are roaches and ticks. I tried wrapping one in a paper towel and stepping on it and it was like armor. Those nasty little suckers just don't die. Now I burn them in a paper towel in the sink and even then I'm not certain it's not clinging to life. I just get the willies....Thanks for the lovely photo (which of course I had to look at) :rolleyes:
I don't understand because I haven't seen ticks all summer. But yesterday morning, I was visiting with my brother and sister-in-law (and 16 month old niece :)) and I had a teeny tiny one crawling on me. :eek: :mad:
We DO use frontline, but it makes me wonder if I messed it up last month. I remember giving them baths just a couple of days afterwards, and I wonder if I did it too soon, and therefore dulled the effects?? Anyway, it's time for it again -- this afternoon is frontline, toenails, ears, teeth brushing, and the whole 9 yards! :)
