It has been awhile since my last post! My humans were out of town and took the computer with them so I didn't have access to the internet!
I have a very important topic to share with you today. I'd like to dedicate today to being "Tick Awareness Day". This topic was brought to my attention due to a recent incident of which, I will explain:
The day started out like any other day.
I may have slept in a little later than usual but I went out for my morning walk, ate some grass, walked around a bit and then went back inside.
However, it is this afternoon that I really want to talk about. My short human reached down to pet me because I was looking oh so cute lying in front of the screen door. She noticed a little bump in my fur and upon further inspection found a tick!!!
I must have picked it up during my walk today! I've never had a tick before. My short human says they're quite abundant in Virginia, but that she's never seen one in southern California.
My human remedied the situation by prying the little sucker (literally) out of my skin:
He was in there good! Then she washed up all the blood and now it will heal.
I wanted to share this with my readers to ensure everyone is checking themselves for ticks after their morning walks!
If it can happen to me, it can happen to you, too!
Wiley my dear,
ReplyDeletePretty Girl has had them and I always check her everyday.
Did you miss your humans? I know I miss them.
You be good now and stay away from the TICKS :):)
Pretty Girl sends her MEOWS.
Hi Wiley,
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear from you again. I just love your posts....you are such a good writer! Still think you should write a children's book.
Anyway, speaking of ticks....I put some kind of "poison" on Wyatt to keep the ticks off of him....expensive stuff.....and guess what.....still found a tick sucking on his ear!
Bet it would be hard to find a tick on Maggie, what with all her hair!
Let me know what you think of Urilla. Pretty handsome truck, huh?
Looking forward to your next post.
Love,
Grandbabka
