:: ticks ::

reading so much lately on the girls' blogs about their dogs being infested with ticks, i'll probably scream a little about my experience with the tiny bastards. alright. i come home everyday, scan my dog from head to tail, including the feet and paw pads. i will never fail to snuff at least 10 of the damn creatures. anyway i will pluck out and mash whatever gender that comes within my sight, particularly looking out for the ones with bigger asses. i prefer males to females anyway, but that's besides the point. after going thru 2 seasons of massive tick culling, i am not ashamed to say that i am a professional tick plucker. the heads won't get left behind if your nails are sharp enough to pry their stinky mouths from our precious dogs' skin.

a swim at sentosa this saturday coupled with basking in the sun at the same time would probably cause most of them to be removed involuntarily. the rest will be culled with after i carry out the usual daily regime. then a good bath the next day and a new coat of "super tick and flea spray" might immunize refund against them for awhile.

i managed to get his number and he's gonna have lunch with me tomorrow in camp. another anxious, exciting, butterflies in stomach, sleepless night for me. now have to think of some excuse to not have lunch with my usual mates tomorrow. or maybe i can just tell them the truth. since they are quite supportive of my pursuits all these while. *laughs*
