TICKS already
a TICK It's March. The rain is supposed to stop tomorrow morning, then I will apply the topical. It's going to be one of those summers I can just feel it. Lisa Frankie and Mattie |

My friend Linda (with the Samoyeds) found one Monday on Gabby.  And oddly enough, it was at a therapy dog visit. It was visiting the retired nuns...not sure what it really should be called, I just call it the nunnery!  . They have a gorgeous wooded property, so I'm thinking Gabby picked it up in the gardens we walked through there before the visit...it was crawling over his hair, not attached.  |
Yep, ticks here already also. I found a dead one on Teddy the other day after our trip to Starved Rock. I had just put Frontline on him a week before so I'm glad it's working. My brother lives about 25 miles from me and he said his dog comes in from a potty break with almost 20 ticks on him!  This has been going on for the past few weeks. I don't think our warm winter killed them off this year.Cindy |
| Thanks for the headsup, it is surely time here. Icky ticks. |
| Ick--ick-ick! Time to breakout the Frontline! |
| I haven't found any yet but was worrying about it as our winter was so mild this year in northeast Ohio. I took my dogs to the vet Friday for their heartworm test & Bortadella & he stressed starting heartworm tablets April 1st (1 month earlier than we normally do) & Frontline right now (2 months earlier than normal). I saw 2 huge mosquitoes on the side of the house Saturday morning when I let the dogs out. Mosquitoes in March! Unheard of in Ohio. He also told me when traveling with my dogs not to stop at any rest stops. Grass isn't mowed short enough on a regular basis & too many people stop there that don't treat their dogs at all. Told me to stop at some place like a MacDonalds or a motel parking area & exercise them if they needed to go. I do know the turnpike has graveled dog areas so that might not be quite as bad. Another thing he told me was to stay away from rivers & lakes with them. I even called the families that have dogs I groom & told them the same. If they have fleas, they can't come here to be groomed. And of course ticks are the worst problem. |

Is it still called a convent when it's a home and nursing care facility for the retired nuns?? This place is all the retired nuns from the (order?) School Sisters of Notre Dame...they come here when they retire, and it is their home for the rest of their lives. |
