Ick. One of my cousins used to live in a heavily wooded area and had this problem with her dogs too.

Yuck! I hear there are more and more ticks around this year. Luckily my cat is strictly indoors, but I do try to keep a close eye on the kids!

Agh. Hate those ticks. My dog got one once and I couldn’t bare to touch it so I took him to the vet and had them do it. Yuck!
