Where's the dog?

[Red.Apricot]

Alternate title: Why I have to check her for ticks each time we go for a walk:

Can you find the monster?

There she is!

 

[MericoX]

I never would have spotted her if you hadn't pointed her out. I hate ticks with a passion... I can't believe looking for some in her kind of coat!!

 

[CharlieDog]

I saw her lol, but only because I'm used to looking for ears like that with Knox.

And ticks in their kind of coat suck.

 

[Red.Apricot]

I've never actually, knock on wood, found any on her, but I'm super paranoid. The weather's getting warmer, and she keeps running through bushes.

 

[AdrianneIsabel]

You guys have Ticks out there? We're lucky here in the valley we have none but up in the mtns we do. I hate them, they're so gross and creepy!

 

[Red.Apricot]

Yeah, we have them. Not super often--I've only ever seen one, and it was on me (ew) years ago. Usually though, I think we avoid them because we don't run through the brush where they live... Elsie doesn't live by normal rules, though.

 

[SaraB]

Yup, I'm moving by you guys if you've only ever found one tick! I think my record was pulling 27 off of Zuma (none attached yet) last summer in the parking lot of one of our hiking locations. We have a pretty crazy deticking routine now. LOL

 

[Red.Apricot]

27? There shouldn't even be that many ticks in the whole world. D: I usually just wait until we're home and then brush her out completely, paying extra attention to her ears and underparts.

 

[CharlieDog]

I once pulled 100 ticks off of Enzo. No lie. The vet said she probably got into a nest or something. They were all seed ticks. It was terrible.

 

[Rolu]

Haha, I hadn't noticed her either in the second picture! I actually didn't even realize you'd made an arrow pointing to her, for some reason I thought it was a ribbon or something. :rofl1:

:lol-sign: same here!

Ticks are *evil*... We have them by the thousands here! After every hike, I pull at least three off the puppy - He's short and acts like a bloodhound through bushes, so picks up the most. The saluki hardly ever gets any on him... he's too fast and tall! lol

 

[Ulteed]

She is a very nice looking dog. I could imagine my two running around in that area too.

 

[Red.Apricot]

Haha, I probably should have made the arrow thicker.

Elsie likes to bound onto bushes. She's ridiculous.

Thank you, Ulteed--I think she's lovely, too.
