Years back before I had any yorkies I had a toy white poodle, on a beautiful Spring day I took a ride upstate NY and let my poodle  free in the woods, she had a blast diving into mounds of leaves. When I came home and had her on my lap I saw these disgusting things on her. I had heard of ticks but had never seen one. What a job, I took her out on the terrace and removed  everyone from her, because she was white ticks were easy to be seen. From that day forward none of my dogs were ever allow to walk in leaves. Come Spring I am in the yard removing every leaf.
