Dude, I'm a city girl. Born and bred. I don't know what the hell to do with a tick. This is why I put tick medicine on her, so I don't have to deal with this shit.
So I called the Banfield, and they told me to put a little alcohol on it and then pull it out with a tweezer. I ended up using a pliers (close enough - couldn't find the tweezers), and then looked at this thing...
I think it's Ichabod Tick.
Maggie was NOT pleased. And in fact wouldn't come back into the bedroom for the rest of the time I was home.
The handyman came as I was getting ready for work. I had one patient show up for clinic again today (hooray!), and then had a bunch of work to do this afternoon, which I decided I would do at Starbucks. So I came home to get my laptop, and found that the sink had migrated out to the front porch.
Uh, and I think there's something seriously missing, still....
Not to mention, he moved everything (for no apparent reason) and blocked off the door to the room with the dog door.
Here's what Maggie thinks.
