Tick Issues!

[dab_20]

I haven't found any on my dogs so dar, but we live in town. I took Sam out to the country park in the woods, but he didn't get any. I REALLY hate ticks. I got one in my ear once. *yuck!*

YUCK!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I gave Fenway his first garlic pill last night and about 30 minutes later he threw up all over my bed. It wasn't the pill though. I had been wondering where his plastic football went and there it was, on the bed - he ate it to pieces. I think his tummy was upset and that's why he threw up.

I will try giving him a pill tonight.

Last night for our walk, we stayed out of the woods. We walked in a couple of ball parks and in a cemetary...no ticks on him last night. Thank God!

Gonzo has never had fleas or ticks - thank GOD! I would pretty much die if I found a tick on myself... they aren't that gross, I'm just really squeemish. I put Frontline Plus on Gonzo, just during the bad months, and it apparently works very well. The backyard at my Mom's new house is 1+ acre, mostly grass, but in the back it has longer brush and trees, so we're getting that mowed and we're thinking of adding nematodes.
