Hello friends! We were going to have a guest blogger today, our friend Henry who lives in Weymouth but he's been a bit busy out enjoying the sunshine so hopefully he'll drop by tomorrow.
I had a scary moment yesterday...the human found a tick on me...dis-gus-ting! If we could rid the world of one creature it would be a tick, what useful purpose do they serve? I'm not too happy as I put up with being Frontlined just to avoid these pesky things and I still get one! grrrrrrr...
Which means more of this - the dreaded BATH word after they've removed said monster! Plus... what is this obsession of taking photo's every time we're in a less than macho pose?

She thinks I must have picked it up when we were out in the woods furtling. Anyway, the human said to say that in case your tick remover is too big, which ours was, then a neat drop of Frontline on the tick soon stops it in it's tracks - and good riddance. It fell off during the night, still haven't found it but I'll keep looking!
Our human said to mention that some other remedies for ticks are Eucalyptus oil (a little on a cotton bud straight onto the monster) Vaseline put on one also kills it and it should fall off, also if you coat them with vegetable oil then twist off anti-clockwise that's said to work. As our human is of the squeamish variety she doesn't go for this option!
Any of you peeps have any tick horror stories? Hope you're managing to avoid them however there is a new European tick causing probs over here so be on the lookout! Bye for now, Dexter xxx
