| I am seriously freaked out! I just found a tick on my dog. It's big - like the size of a pea. Maybe 1/2 the size of a pea. I am completely freaked out! It fell off and I put it in a baggie but now I know I need to check my dogs over for more but I'm scared to. Help! Now I know how people with phobias feel! |

| Get your 'big girl panties' on and do this for your babies! And for you too, as it's much worse to have ticks fall off them while in your bed! I am feeling bad for you though....

| Cmon now...its only a tick...Like Nike says..."Just do It" Seriously, once you start searching for ticks and fleas...its not that bad. Its actually frustrating cause you can seem to get them off your poor baby. |

| I will take ticks anyday over fleas... Just get your tweezers out and a shot glass of booze..When you find one put it in the glass of booze..it will die fairly fast. Make sure you get the head..

if the tick had already bit your dog you will want to test in a few months for lyme!
