Mary,
You have my sympathy!!! I have never seen a tick around here on my dogs or me, but week before last, I found them on Honey, Lilly and Me!!!! I quaranteened the dogs inside, as well as the cats, and sprayed the back yard. Plus, I traded in my unused Advantage (flea control) at the vets and purchased frontline instead. All of my critters have been treated now, and I haven't seen a tick in a week. Hope that's the end of them!!!1
