Ticked Off




The boys and I are supremely ticked off! These little buggers attach themselves to skin, usually in a warm nook somewhere, and then they proceed to extract nutrients from the hosts blood. I'm all for showing hospitality, but this is a bit of a stretch! Apparently, the tick season ends in June, just in time for the mosquito season; then in August we get flies!

Grossy gross!
Have you kept track of how many you've removed yet?
Oh, and did you get muffy down yet?
Take some pics again for Abbi.
Is my camera cord at home?

No, I have not kept track, but my guess would be around 20. Some of them were just crawling on clothes or hair and had not attached yet. Muffy came down on her own, I'll check on her again tonight. Do you have your camera with you? I don't know about the cord.
