Tick season

Tick season started last week, unfortunately. We already have found 3 (dug in) on Ghandi and 2 on Wesha. The last tick that we found on Ghandi, was actually found by Wesha. She was sniffing the spot above his tail intensly, so I decided to see what she was sniffing at. And found a tick.

Ghandi hates holding still when we have to remove a tick, it is a real struggle every time. And his coat is so dense, that it is really hard to find ticks in the first place. So this morning, I have put the anti tick treatment on their backs. It usually helps really well for 4 weeks. And then we repeat the treatment. Both Wesha and Ghandi are bothered by it today, though. Ghandi keeps trying to shake it off and he even tried to lick himself clean. It also means no swimming for 48 hours and no touching for 24... Wesha misses the swimming and Ghandi misses the cuddling. It would be nice to live in a tick free region with the dogs!
