Tiny Is Ticked Off

Yes, that's right.  I pulled a huge gray tick off of my dog Tiny today.

We live near the woods and they jump on her when she is merely minding her own business of squirrel hunting and looking for lizards to play with.

I told my Mom about it and she gave me some flea and tick spray.  I have a collar on Tiny but these are Texas ticks and they have a mind of their own.

I read the directions on the spray and it said not to spray it on cats.  I guess this is because cats give themselves a bath.

Now Tiny acts like a cat sometimes.  She climbs the trees all the way to the top after the squirrels.  She sits on the top of windowsills and chair and sofa backs. 

Do you think the ticks can see she is a dog? 

Anyway....I decided that I should not spray this stuff on any of my clocks as well.

Because then I would never know what time it was.

I would be left with clocks that only tock.

I wouldn't have anymore tick tocks.

Because the ticks would be gone...and all I would have are tocks.

OH I don't know.....what frustration!

I need a vacation without ticks or tocks.

Just give me a beach, a little shade umbrella a cold drink and a great book to read and I will be just fine.

As for now though I have to eat something quick, wash my hair and get ready for another fun filled day of scanning peoples food and smiling.

Til next time!
