Ticked Off

Found this tick on one of the dogs tonight! Photo Op! does this scream desperation to you?
Not desperation... just a photographer grabbing an opportunity! :)

Looks engorged with blood. Did you squish it between your fingernails?

Nasty looking bugger.

Do you remember the one Dad took off Jolene's head when she was pretty little? It was hugely engorged with blood – about the size of a pea and its "skin" was stretched really tight. I will never forget it... probably because it was so disgusting!

Oh yuck! Those are the one thing I hate about hiking.

@deburahiru It was.... I didn't! I think I left the head in though.

@digitalrn I try not to kill living things but I make an exception for ticks and mosquitoes.

@marilyn I sure don't but then I am not as easily grossed out as you I think!

@pasadenarose I know what you mean!

Wow. Blast from the past! I have not seen one of these bad boys since we were young and growing up on the mountain. our dog roamed about and got ticks. If we did not find them, they swelled up like this. We'd get them off and stomp them...gross.

@espyetta They were really bad last year around our house but this seems a little early for me to be seeing them this year!
