All this talk of ticks...
Went to Gettysburg this past weekend for Memorial Day with the family. Took Jackson like we always do. We decided to do a walk through the battlefields, about 2-3 miles or so.
We left and went out to eat at an outdoor restaurant and I look at my stepdad's shirt and he has like 3 ticks crawling on him. I was like OMG and helped pick them off. Then one crawled out of my HAIR! Then I start spotting them on Jackson. I kinda felt something crawling on me, lifted up my jean pant leg and there's one on my knee. AHHH.
Omg we left and I immediately stripped down and I flipped my pants inside out and there was like 7 ticks crawling around IN MY PANTS!!
In the end, my step-dad probably pulled like 20 off him (they weren't attached yet tho, just crawling), I pulled like 10 off me, and easily 20 off Jackson. They just were never ending. Hours later I kept being like 'oh, there's another one' on Jackson. Even the next morning, I found 3 more. The walk was on Sunday and it's now Tuesday and I found another on Jackson's leg!!
Anyway, my step-mom had the mobile groomer coming for her dogs and I had Jackson shaved up again today even though it's only been like 4 weeks since he was groomed last. She found one more but said she didn't see any others!! So hopefully they are all gone!
GROSSEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. OH GOD. I am still itchy.
