When I write about my Volvo, I get Volvo ads.
When I write about Spam, I get meat ads.
When I write about Hillary or Obama, I get political ads.

So when I write about ticks on our puppy Toffee, I get "Meet Sexy Singles" ads.

Huh? Is there some new fetish out there that I am not aware of?

Uptick in Tick Updates

Toffee's tick has vacated his eyelid.

We managed to get an appointment for Thursday morning to remove said tick, but by then he had left the building. Jacqueline and I scoured his bedding and his sleeping area, to no avail.

But the Tick finally re-emerged later that day, scuttling around on Toffee's neck.

J wrapped him in paper and flushed him to the Great Tick Beyond. Yay!

A Tick in the Eye Saves Nine...

...or something like that.

Toffee (Cutius puppicus) has a tick. Right on one of his eyelids. One, perhaps two, millimeters from his slightly bulging left eye.

This is a dog with the hypermanic energy of a freshly angered wasp, so my removing the tick is totally out of the question. Even with my older daughter pinning him down and my hand gripping his skull tightly. We did try.

So...it's time for a trip to the Wood River Animal Hospital where our friendly neighborhood vet can take a whack at it.

Toffee is an indoor dog, primarily. I can't imagine what he'd looked like if left outside alone for any length of time. Probably like an emaciated, anemic monkey with a million little black handbags hanging off him.
