You know you have got it bad when you pull something like this off your dog and have to take a photo before killing it.
Little bleeder was obviously on the lookout for blood because I put him on the table outside and he kept moving towards me. Everytime I knocked him back and no matter which way he was facing he started off towards me again.
Excuse the flat look at the front of the body, thats where I pulled him off with a pair of the wifes eyebrow tweezers

That's a 'Tick' I think. Hope you got the head.

Looks like he did, I *never* pull them off though, either vaseline to smother and kill them or aftershave / alcohol to kill them and they drop off

Nice shot by the way

Cheers for the tip, dont have to touch them with the added bonus of the dog smelling nice for once.

nice pic

(btw - the real danger in just pulling these blighters off is that you can leave behind some of the mouth parts that leave the wound prone to infection.)

Hmm, looks like we missed one as found this crawling accross the floor just now.
He has just come back from kennels as we came back to the UK for a few days so I reckon he must have got them there.
