I was hoovering a rug this morning and saw something that looked like a ballbearing, light silver in colour but pliable when I poked it. I prodded it with the end of the hoover and it burst, it looked as if a dark red/purple worm was living inside it. On closer inspection it was a tick, the purple worm was congealed blood from one of my two dogs!!!!!!!
Gross!!!
Time to get the tick drops and get Andrew to do the fingertip inspection of their coats - I cant bring myself to do it
