It's gross, but it has become Sunday ritual to have each of
my three dogs lay on the front porch and pull off the multitude of ticks.
The
vet said to not switch to advantage because I would lose the protection
from
heartworm and ear mites.

Yesterday, I pulled at least 10 off my one 20 lb baby alone.

Yeah, geez. I am getting really sick of these bugs. Fer chrissake, we had
a nice late frost and I was really hoping some of these ticks would freeze
to death. Apparently, they didn't.
