[Magnus]

I used to burn them but last year, I started drowning them in alcohol. I left them for a month or so before tossing them out. Just in case Magnus/Zoey got sick, thought it might help to have the tick for the vet to look at.

I used advantix II but it didn't seem to help so I made a habit of running my fingers through them every time we came back from walks. And any time we're watching tv, I just run my fingers through again. Those buggers attach themselves in odd, unexpected places.
