Every time I sit down to pet him, I find more ticks.

I have even found a few on me this year. I guess that Louise Hay would say we are letting them suck all the joy out of our lives.

I have not gotten to the point where I am willing to coat Smash or me with pesticides yet. I am still looking for natural tick repellents.

In the mean time I have ordered the Tick Trix tick removal system. I will let you know how it works out when I get it.

For the past few nights he has wanted to come in the house for a while and get petted.  Then he will go back  outside to sleep.  It has been very cold, but he still prefers to sleep outside.

He does expect me to walk with him to the creek each morning.  It does not matter if it is cold or raining or whatever, when I walk out the door, he runs toward the creek.  If I don’t follow, he turns around and pouts.

Lately, since it has been so cold, I have begin cranking my Jeep first and letting it warm up while we walk to the creek.  This confuses Smash.

When I go to the Jeep, he gets that sad look and then when I turn around to go to the creek, he hesitates a moment as if questioning whether I am serious or not.

For more stories about Smash see his Dog Behavior Blog.
