Ticks in unlikely places...
Neighbor Carla and I took the pups for a walk. Our last stop was to sit at the picnic table next to the pond. While we were lounging around, Toby started paying way too much attention to his weewee ('tis a family website and we don't use the "p" word), so I decided to take a look. Low and behold, there was a tick trying to lodge itself in right near the tip of his weewee. Yuck! Toby gladly allowed me to rid him of this unwelcomed pest. The upshot of this story is to check your male dog all over, even around his weewee, after he's been peeing on the tops of grasses and small roadside plants.
