"...i hate ticks..."

It's blurry but who wants to see an engorged tick in HD?

I found this parasite earlier today, lolling on the floor.

Into a bottle of Isopropyl alcohol it went, a quick demise.

The Frontline TopSpot wannabe is scandalous.

Obviously, it does not work.

Regardless, NEVER smash these fat ticks;

they are full of eggs and all you're doing is releasing them.

They're very hardy and true parasites. Dispose of them as

directed, in alcohol, treating as a biohazard because the little

bastards are disgusting carriers. Bloodsuckers.

The rains are going on forever

But I love the rain and for the most part, it makes for

quiet dogs and better writing. Unfortunately, the ticks LOVE

the rain and 74* days in November. The cold spells make them

aggressive in their search for a warm host.

They're much more lethargic, though, than in Spring/Summer.

They take a lot longer to blow up.

Sid didn't get out of bed until 3:30pm

Why? Because it poured rain all morning and what sane

creature would want to go out in that?

Siddy savored the coziness of my bed and probably the

only reason he got up this afternoon was because he had to tinkle.
