I have never seen a tick, but I remember reading some time ago to put a spot of nail polish on the tick. Apparently it blocks it so it can't breathe and it will fall off.

I was just sitting on the couch petting Simon when I felt something on his skin so I separated his hair and there it was! It was so gross, I could see its legs moving and it was a brownish/orange color. YUCK!!!

Now I just check every night by feeling them all over. I'm also getting them their summer haircuts next week so they will be nice a short
