What was that!!????

[Pixie]

Yesterday when I was cleaning up, vaccuming, something black landed on my shoulder. I almost freaked out. I thought for sure it was a spider. It was only black hair from the dog I had finished. What a relief.

ROFL

I know the feeling. I had a big white wet thing land in my hair when I was HV a sheltie. Startled me till I realized it was just a gob of hair.

I've experienced the opposite. I noticed a little spot on my finger, and thought "Oh. A new freckle. Guess I should keep an eye on it." Then it waved at me.

Yep, it was a deer tick.

Ick I hate ticks. When I was working at the shop I could usually get someone else to remove them. Now that I'm on my own I don't have a choice.

Tee Hee!

Tee Hee Pixie! That is too funny! Today I picked up what I thought was some cat food off the floor, but it wasn't! Yikes!

I hear that Ticked Off thing works great. It looks like a little tupperware spoon with a notch cut into it. Several people have told me it works wonders. I don't bother I just use hemos. The ticked off thingie seems to keep you a little more at a distance though, so you don't have to be close to see what you;re grabbing like with the hemos.

Ticked Off

I have it and love it. It pops that sucker right off and you don't have to touch it. EWE. I won't touch ticks.

At least it was nice enough to wave at you. lol
I think I'd rather have the spider.

The worse is if you stop to grab a bite to eat and almost lick something off of your arm that's not food! OK.... that's nasty!! But happens to the best of us!

I have had them start to crawl into my hair and I hope that it is a flea, but sure enough they have been ticks. Yuck!!! Makes me want to crawl.
