The cat and dog have received
their flea and tick repellent.
And it is obviously working well.
Thus far I’ve found three ticks,
all of which were unattached.
Two were creepy crawling on me,
and one was dead in my underwear.
Needless to say I have developed
a bad case of the heebeegeebees.
Every little hair askew on my neck
is a tick.
So is a little patch of dry skin
on my leg or arm.
A sudden itch on my back
is a tick attack.
My flesh is on high alert,
my scalp pulling double duty
and the heebeegeebees
messing with my mind.
I can’t help but shudder
at the slightest touch.
I hate the hebeegeebees
so much.

Hello Lori Lou Ticks are some nasty lil' blood thirsty critters! Hope they leave as quick as they came and you don't have to deal with them much ~ Alana
