Sammie went on a walk in the woods, and as a result I spent the evening picking 40 TICKS off of him! Most of them were tiny things about the size of a period. I'm sure I missed some. I'll have to check again today.

What's the tick situation for you? I usually find 3-10 ticks on the dog a week, and we check ourselves almost daily. It's gotten worse as the weather warms up. Thank God we haven't gotten lyme disease. I already had it when I was nine and do NOT want it again.

We have only removed 1 from moose and it was HUGE! Luckily very easy to see on his ear.

We don't have them to bad here I guess

I'm sorry you have to deal with that, terrible!

Oh no! That sounds awful! I can't imagine that many ticks! I hope it is just the season for them and they go away in a few weeks! I think I would talk to the vet about a good spray you can use or something!

He actually is already on Frontline. It doesn't seem to keep ticks off of him, just kills them once they bite.

That's good to know, might have to get that for camping.

If I take any of my dogs in the woods or up to the state park I will spray them with Flea and Tick spray right before we head out for a walk. We are pretty lucky that we do not have any *knock on wood* ticks, maybe one or two but thats only if we go into the tall grass.

Good luck!
