| Ticks! I just want to remind everyone that it's that time of year again, so check your dogs for ticks. Last night my boyfriend asked what was on Layla's face right under her eye. Looked like an eye goober to me! I tried to pull it off but it was hard. He looked closer and saw little legs coming out! It was a tick! He managed to pull it out completely, thank goodness. Then he checked her all over for any more, but that was the only one.

| We are on full tick alert here since March this year they came out. Frontline is on now for the season. They are the GROSSEST bugs ever, aside from maggots! LOL

| I have found four ticks so far this year. Funny thing is none of them are on my babies. They were on the bed crawling around. Seems they didn't like my babies so they jumped off and went looking for me!! Frontline for HUMANS????

Jackson's had three on him so far. I ordered K9 Advantix online and it should be here today or tomorrow, thank God! I'm hoping it works a little better than Frontline since it's supposed to repel them as well.

| OMG aren't they just the nastiest thing ever? And there are plenty out this year too! Definitely protect your dog. Lola got Lyme's from ONE tick found on her in MARCH. Nasty, nasty. |
