Dogs and a longer life

Many women get treated like dogs by men. However, if more people had the good characteristics of dogs, the world might be a better place for all.

many older persons fall while walking their dog, and fracture a hip or pelvis.

The tail wag hurts my back and I won't EVEN discuss the fleas. SQUIRREL, got to go.

 

Well, I love dogs, but the ticks just scars me off them.
Is their a permanent solution to these ticks problem?

There are monthly chewables your vet can prescribe that prevent against fleas and ticks. The prescription medication you rub on their coats is much less expensive, though.

Check for low cost pet vaccination clinics in your area, they'll save you lots of money and keep your pet safe.

Are ticks a problem in your area? We've had dogs for years, and they only bought ticks in from our yard last year.
I get our flea and tick meds from Amazon.

 

Thanks so much sir!

 

Yeah, it's a problem. I somehow noticed they got ticks, only when they play around bushes.

Maybe prevention would be to keep them indoors

 

i thought ticks were a huge problem in eastern pa?

 

sure is! Move! Unless we go hunting, or skulking around in some distant land, there isn't a tick for miles & miles. Now - chiggers?


That's a different story. Wish my Nashville son-in-law would mow his yard more frequently, then even that - it wouldn't be an issue when we head to Tennessee . Those little bugs will make you look like you've got the worst case of smallpox in history.

I just consulted with my expert., Bob, & you'll be relieved to know ~

And I can further dovetail this back into the environmental forum. As the California drought continues to be an issue, we got rid of our flea potential by removing the lawn and installing fake grass that we bought from Costco. Looks great, needs no water (drought area) , and Fred's horribly acidic pee no linger causes horrible lawn burning that makes the yard otherwise look like crop circles - a win-win-win.

By better ½ suffers horribly from bouts with depression, & Fred helps pull her through it.

O my God! That picture of a tick, just stirred something in me immediately. Could you take it off your finger please?heheheheh

 

Your skin getting messed up wouldn't be so bad if it were only a flea or a tick, it's a cheeeeegger - as they say in the south.

Although ticks can give you Lyme disease, and that's something that can actually make you ill.

around here, ticks carry lyme disease, not a pleasant experience, and can be deadly.

 

Emmmm, can we just end the tick blablabla talk pls? Its making me .....right now!

 

Stupid dogs;

Regularly found them after mowing the mother-in-law's yard on me. Her place was up against a cemetery and a stand of woods though.

Our place is right in town. The ticks are likely riding in on the rabbits that have been doing well for the past couple of years.
