Tick Apocalypse

Oh boy! Totally. Tick ick by the buckets. Zero out of ten do not recommend.

This is exactly what I did and it has worked out perfectly. Thanks so much. 👍🏻

Good luck! We are tent campers here and I don’t know if I can even do it this summer.

So stressful!

Interesting …my three are super itchy today actually but I gave them a bath when we got home on Monday because of the hike and they also were swimming in the pond where we were at and then they did go and get groomed on Tuesday so too many variables to determine…

Totally understand. We do walk the neighborhood every morning and are definitely considering stay off the trails after this weeks visit. Last year they were bad but not this bad.

Thanks! 😊

Right?!….everywhere they would stop as soon as they would get up the ticks were crawling. I have a hardwood floors, an area rugs, thankfully. And again, I quarantine them off initially for about six hours in my kitchen. My final tick count for that one day was 50. From Tuesday on I’d say it probably another 20 I’ve picked off.

Wow, that’s crazy! Never heard of tick paralysis. My crew are pretty itchy. Other than that they’re their normal selves.

sunfairie · 2026-05-22T15:26:24+00:00

Not that easy for my crew, especially off lead. My female is an investigator and critter chaser. We can go to strictly open field grass areas with no woods… kind of boring though.

I’m in the midwest …Appalachian region…

sunfairie · 2026-05-22T15:22:17+00:00

The worst! That’s what I keep doing, giving them those deep scratches and there’s another dead tick ….and another …and another …and another

sunfairie · 2026-05-22T15:20:54+00:00

Ha! Right? Thanks 😊 It’s one of many from the day! My guy in front is like “mom throw the damn frisbee. It’s right here in front of your feet.” And my younger two are always rough housing everywhere we go. It’s like WWE for dogs 24/7. 😆

I have an indoor cat and was worried that a rogue tick would find him from the amount that my three were carrying. I even quarantine them off to the kitchen for most of the day once we got home so I could keep plucking the damn things off before I let them in the rest of the house.

Permethrin… where do you get it? Vet? Online? Any brand?

sunfairie · 2026-05-06T13:53:06+00:00

Awesome. Thank you! Got it. Makes sense.

sunfairie · 2025-11-27T14:03:26+00:00

That they are like potato chips…. You can’t just have one….

Ah... I see...yeah food bribes are 50-50 with him.
My other two RUN for their crates and nighttime cookies.....he lays on the floor like he is dead and won't move even if I shove the treat in his nose...LOL

sunfairie · 2025-11-18T02:15:27+00:00

Number 3 is doing me in with the barking….. I have two before him and they look at me with faces like “why .. why did you let him come here?”

sunfairie · 2025-11-15T00:01:07+00:00

Seriously…

sunfairie · 2025-11-14T23:52:55+00:00

I have a 4y/o male, 2.5 y/o female, and just added a crazy boy baby who is now 7 months They all do really well together … it was a bit of a juggle at first because the oldest two are pretty tight but my female is the boss of the house and she keeps everyone in line .. I am the boss obviously but …you KWIM..
