What the heck is going on in western PA? These last couple years have been worse and worse year after year with the ticks. My dog had a bout of lymes last year, we gave him the meds but never followed up to see if it worked. Anyway, we go to the park every day to throw ball. Today, we went to the park, as usual he spent the first 10 minutes working the tree line for good smells then we played ball for a while. We got home and I pulled 20+ deer ticks off of him. Some were tiny, others were the normal size that you typically find later in the summer and fall. I freakin hate ticks. Found one on my nads last year and it's got me paranoid ever since! Anyone else experiencing an influx of ticks in their neck of the woods?
