Ticks

Where did the weekend go? It seems like it was just Friday. Now it is back to work tomorrow. :( Not really ready to go back for another week. There is too much I want to do around here that didn't get done this weekend. Guess it will have to wait until next weekend.
Watch out dog owners... I was petting one of our dogs last night and happen to feel something that was stuck to him on his chest behind one of his legs. I flipped him over only to find a bug stuck to him. After further looking and a little research it was a tick that was blown up. I have never seen a tick look like that before. I'm still having a little scare because of all the things going around about Lyme disease. He just had his first lyme disease booster on Friday. We looked up the tick on the internet and from what we can see it looks like a dog tick which aren't known to carry the Lyme disease. Going to call the vet tomorrow just in case. Don't want or really need him to get sick. Needless to say we got the tick and flea stuff on them right away. We had thought about it before but just never did it.
To update you on his condition of limping around too, the vet said that he might just be working too hard. She felt all of his leg joints and said that everything feels fine to her. She recommended that we put them on a joint supplement. So we started that this weekend too.
Anyways, it is off to bed for me. Have a great night.
