Early Tick Season

My poor dog was getting so shabby looking because I haven’t taken him to the groomer for a couple of months. His fur was getting too long and raggedy, and matted up, too. So I finally scraped enough money together to take him to the groomers yesterday.

Of course, the price has gone up again – it cost me $50 to give him a “day at the doggie spa” at the local groomers. They do a really good job, though. They cut his nails, brush his teeth, give his a good bath and then cut his hair really nice.

I was shocked when I picked himup and they told me that they found 4 ticks on him. OMG! I had no idea that we had ticks out yet! And my backyard is not all that wooded, either. His hair was so long that I couldn’t even see the ticks! I’m so glad I took him to the groomers – and very glad that they took care of those nasty ticks – I hate taking ticks off a dog.
