Let's Play "Where Is the Tick?"

So I wake up this morning, and Oscar comes over for his usual head scratch before I get up. On his ear, I see a tick, sitting on the fur. As I reach for it, he decides to shake his head from side to side. Look again. Tick is gone. :twitch: I leap out of bed, searching everywhere, but no tick. It doesn't help that our comfortor is dark brown.

So I have spent half the day washing all of the bedding and vacuuming like a crazy person. UGH!!! I hate ticks!!!!

uggh indeed! I would spend the whole day with a creepy crawly sensation. Maggie had a dead tick embedded in her neck. She's on Revolution so I am hoping it died before transmitting any disease but I am keeping an eye on her. I didn't even realize it was a tick -- I thought it was a cut or blood blister. Finally dawned on me that it must be a tick and I pulled it out. Yuck!
Wait until they get older and get doggie moles. Feels just like a tick. Only when the dog yelps do you realize it's part of the dog. Then there's the nipples......how often have you mistook a nipple for a tick?
Never did find the tick. Reminds me that I have to change the vacuum cleaner bag, just in case.

Found another one on him last night. I check Oscar EVERY time we come in, even if he's just on our lawn, but these guys are getting past me somehow. I still have the heebie jeebies.

Yucko here, hate ticks too!! Since we got Sam I found four deer ticks so far, on him or on the floor by him. They give me the creepy crawlies :twitch:
Have Frontline Plus on him and vacinated for Lymes disease. He's safe but not me. I freak out thinking he might bring any on on my bed! :twitch: :twitch: :twitch:

Yep, that's a concern I share. Only takes one hitchhiker to leap aboard.......
