Here's something gross. I removed a tick from Pepper this morning. Ohmigosh, I still get all gyuh! when I think about the little monster. I found it sometime around six or so this morning when I was petting her to make her stop growling at some sort of animal she smelled/heard outside so she would let me go back to sleep. I thought it was a seed or something stuck in her fur with sap, but I didn't know for sure, so I took pictures of it to send to my mom when the hour was less...dark. Seriously, it did not look like a tick!Yeah. It was a tick. Armed with tweezers, a jar with a lid, and some disposable gloves, I pulled the little sucker (pun intended) out of Pepper's hide and stuck it in the jar, where I finally saw its little legs. MONSTER! The thing was gross. Is gross. Can ticks suffocate? I hope it dies a horrible death for daring to attach to my little princess and make me have to get all gyuh! I hate feeling gyuh!
Anyway, today has been productive, right? :P
I feel like I need a shower. With fire, to get the gyuh! out of my system.
Don't worry, I sanitized Mom's tweezers with alcohol.
