Tickle your dog every day!

'Tis the season -- the tick season, unfortunately.  If you read an expert opinion that tells you to do a visual inspection of your dog each day they are just plain wrong!  In a chore that both should enjoy, scratch and tickle your dog head to toe as much as you can (for some of us that is a big job) and you will find the unwanted ticks. Then the usual suggestion of warm soap and alchohol combined with a tick comb (as cheap as $.89)or tweezers followed by alcohol will do the trick.
