I'm soooo ticked...

And I'm not talking angry here! It never ceases to amaze me that I attract all types of God's creatures-snakes, spiders, and ticks! This morning I took a brief walk up our back yard to feed the run away dog I've been trying to capture, came down to the house, and began my morning yoga routine and lo and behold I felt something on the back of my neck. Well I reached for it and got it, the little bugger! He got a quick trip down the old septic system. A little while later, my husband bent over to look at the floor next to me and picked up another one. Since there wasn't a dog nearby who had just been out in the grass, I had to take the blame.

I've never seen so many ticks and it's early! And don't get me started on tick "stuff" for dogs-they still land on them, the dogs still bring them in, AND the ticks still bite the dogs! So why is it I'm putting these chemicals on my dogs? Maybe I need some for myself, but then again like the dogs, I'd probably STILL carry them around too!

I can't stand the little buggers, but unfortunately I live in the woods. I guess it will be a summer of body and clothing checks and dogs with very short hair cuts!
