Took him walking in the woods over the weekend. Noticed an odd little bump on his back today... it was a tick. Ick. Tucker got an icky tick!
I removed the little bastard. All is well. But ick.

Great minds think alike. That was the first thing that occurred to me.

I was envisioning some really weird thing like his right eye involuntarily winking while grimacing with his nose twitching and his teeth snapping like he has rabies.
Oh wait, that's not a tick! That's just what he does!

9. California and Texas ticks also carry erlichiosis |
|
nasty killer disease. If your pup stops eating or gets really tired you will need to get him on 14 days of doxycycline as quickly as possible.

12. Every one knows that Tucker Carlson has no tick. |
|

13. Ticks make my skin crawl. |
|
I'm OK with spiders and so on, but something that attaches itself to you and sucks your blood is just....just..... EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
:P

14. Wow, what a coincidence! I got an email from an old friend that |
|
works on the Crossfire set. It seems Carlson recently had one... on his pudenda.

18. Did you have to pry the little bugger off with tweezers? |
|
Those things don't let go easily. I agree, eewwwwwwww!
I remember my dog had one in the inside of her floopy ear that we had to pry off after she and her dad went hiking in the woods. The funny thing was as soon as my then boyfriend saw it, he panicked and immediately started taking off his own clothes and checking himself.
Low and behond, another tick attached itself to his kneecap. Double, eeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee!
So, I have to take this opportunity to ask you....got ticks!?!
:puke:

20. Althea's been on Advantix for awhile |
|
all last summer, at least. But she did get ONE tick. In the one place Advantix apparently doesn't protect - right smack on her asshole. Nasty fuckin' ticks. I never wanna have to remove one of those again.

Tucker is my second favorite dog. You'd better be taking really good care of him. :silly: Duckie
