TICKED off.

Well it was inevitable.  And I am mortified.  GUESS who had TWO ticks on his head?!  ME!!!  And I think it really was my own fault.

As you may recall, my human started us on these garlic tablets for dogs that are supposed to ward off fleas and ticks.  And we had been taking them for several weeks.  And not a sign of pestilence.  But then, as you may recall, I had that bout of stomach upset for a few days - and BEFORE my human realized it was related to the ingestion of the amputated bunny leg, she thought maybe it was the garlic tablets.  So she stopped giving them to me and to Velcro dog.  Well as we found out, my vomiting issue was due to the rabbit appendage - and not the tablets.  But my human had not started us back ON the tablets...

So...I am assuming while on our road trip, I picked up my traveling buddies.  They had to be removed with one of those tick tools.  I was given a thorough examination to be sure the ticks were completely removed and to be sure I had no others.  The one tick was kind of big and he left a lump on my head when he was extracted.  So I look kind of like a unicorn.  My human put some special cream on my head, to be sure it doesn't get infected.  Velcro dog was also well examined - but he seems to be free of any vagabonds.

So we are back on our smelly garlic tablets.  Mmmmm.   And I am quite enjoying the continuous massage that my human is obsessively giving me every time I walk by her - as she searches to be sure I have no other boarders.  Don't you just love the summertime?
