Sunflower Seed

It looked like a sunflower seed above my eye.
But it was a dreaded wood tick.
Still snow on the ground and already with the ticks.
In focus it looks pretty ghastly. 
This fuzzy photo just gives you a sense of the irritation.
But I'm strong - I let them dig around 
for the head with tweezers and a pin.
And now I'm wearing Frontline - the canine Chanel.

  2. Yes, the dreaded ticks are back. (Tell your owners they don't need to worry about getting out that head, your body should expel of it all on its own with a little time. I groomed dogs for many years... ;)

  5. Oh yuck, but I guess it is one of those things you have to deal with for the joy of having a dog. :o)

  6. Ticks are not fun! Tweezers it is. Chanel should be so sweet.
