So I was grooming my pup today and I found a tic on him. Ewwwwww! OMG those things give me the creeps. I mean I think there is only one other creater that makes me feel as skitish as tics do and that's scorpians. It really sux because I had just taken a shower my self and now I feel all yucky and coverd in bugs. It's rather amazing the way one tic can make me feel like there are thousands crawling all over me. And I couldn't burn him off because I was scared my dog would move and I'd burn him. I tried the oil thing and that didn't seem to do any good. I rubbed it with alochol and that made it wiggle around a bit, so at this point I just grabbed the tweezers and yanked. poor babe, I felt so bad for my puppy. Having this horrible blood sucking monster on him, then having it yanked off, just after I had finished putting eye drops in his eyes.
