SNOW 2

Not what ya want, to say the least. Leaving the head in can lead to infection, so out came the razor blade and matches. I grew up with a grandmother who grew up on a farm. No amount of animal care, including minor surgery was too daunting for her. So channeling my sweet little Yaya, I burned the end of the razor blade to sterilize it, let it cool off a bit and proceeded to make two super small cuts around the ticks head. Did I say this is all happening on my dog? Not on a piece of wood, or bit of clay, anything other than a live dog. All the while Morgan couldn't have been more calm and allowing. She totally knew I was taking care of her. I could feel her trust in me which gave me the confidence to poke into her skin and cut. The tick felt strong in her skin, but I knew I had cut just perfectly because now it was completely free of her body, nothing left. Few! This might even out my karma for the time I took Chloe to the emergency room to remove a tick.
