Wow, really? I guess I just assumed they were like that everywhere. Stupid of me, but still. I'm just used to them I guess, thanks to our hot summers. Fleas and ticks are horrendous. The good news is him getting a disease isn't entirely too likely. Also, believe it or not, leaving the tick alone and it just getting bigger and bigger can even resolve itself as the tick either eventually pulls off or gets big enough to the point the dog can reach it and scratch/bite it off, etc. Once they're attached and enjoying their meal, they pretty much stay put till you either get them out or until they do eventually fall off. They suuuuure aren't pretty though, and they can be difficult to pull out at times. Based on the Xanth analogy, it sounds like you have a pretty good sized tick on your hands..... er, dog.
Now I feel even more sorry for your dog knowing he'll be ball-less after Monday.Yeah, even more reason for him to kick that tick's ass. :tough: Get him, Arthur!
Wish I could like this post a thousand times. Wonderful.
Not only did you make me feel much less panicky regarding this pathetic insect, you made Arthur seem like the badass he is! :yay:
But yeah, I read that they tend to go after they're done with their meal, but in typical internet fashion you get responses like "REMOVE IT ASAP! YOUR DOG IS GOING TO GET A LETHAL DISEASE IF IT'S NOT REMOVED SOON". After reading it you're like "WTF NO! :why:
lease:".

Yeah same, when my former dog died. They literally become members of the family; tough to deal with and impossible to replace.
Seems easy enough ^
I knew you'd enter this thread in typical pretentious and pedantic fashion lol.
No man I felt so sorry for the little bastard, he kept running into the door because his cone was smashing into it. Ronnie actually ran into a wall once anyway, then went in a mood and sat down facing the door as if it was my fault, I swear he hates me, he's fully trained but as soon as I tell him to sit he just tilts his head to the side and walks away.
I wasn't trying to be pretentious or pedantic, honestly. It does seem quite easy to do?

Haha he sounds like such a boss. Got any pics?
Ugh...
It probably is easy to do, for some. I myself am clumsy and don't trust myself in delicate situations. It's like giving your cats tablets to help worms: giving them a tablet is fucking easy, but forcing them to swallow and keep still is a pain in the ass. Some people are good at it (My Mum), and some people are Blue (myself). You have to keep your dog very still so you can get the very root of the tick, anything else forces the tick to remain inside and irritated which can result in it releasing disease-consuming saliva. The theory is easy, but the practicality is a bit tedious.
Pretty sure you've seen him, but this is him anyway.

Awww, he's adorable. He's even looking at you like "Dude, get this thing out of my face. I got balls to lick."

His attention span is terrible, I'm amazed I managed to get one with him looking, usually when I say Ronnie his ears flicker a little like he knows I'm there but just has no interest in finding out what I wanted, the only time he is remotely interested in me is when I say either "walk" or "tea" then he can't get enough of me. Two faced piece of shit.

Sounds like a badass to me. His attitude is like "Fuck you provider. Unless you're walking me or feeding me, I do my own shit."
:boss:

Lmao for some reason that made me think of the time when my dad spent ages making a sandwich for himself, apparently he'd been looking forward to having one for hours, then he quickly went upstairs to go to the toilet, and came back down to find a half eaten sandwich on the floor with a pool of sick next to it, my dog didn't even have the courtesy to finish it, he just had a few bites then was like "fuck this is disgusting" then threw up and just walked away somewhere, my dad was heartbroken.

Spent ages making a sandwich? HOW HARD IS IT TO STICK SOMETHING BETWEEN BREAD AND CLOSE IT? FUCKIGN TORIES
You should have seen the shit he had on it, surprised it didn't take him months, when he makes a sandwich, he makes a sandwich, no half measures where he is concerned, he just piles everything on there.
