Ticks, everywhere, ticks........

[nofish4me]

Ran/Trained some dogs today, ticks are certainly out already. So, if you are out in the bush, beware.

Of course, it's my dog in the lead. Not always the case. Hahaha

Pull the trigger, corn already being planted south of Meaford. Go figure. Hope the deep freeze happens before it sprouts.

my buddies dog had one pulled from it's jaw 2 days ago the size of an eraser on a pencil!

I've never seen a tick. Hopefully it stays that way!

I'm not so sure. Our two main insect PITAs, the mosquito and the blackfly, may be lower in numbers. Mosquitoes depend on standing pools of water to breed, but with very little snow there won't be many patches of that. And blackflies depend upon swift flowing clear water from snowmelt runoff, seems to me that there won't be a lot of that either. I may be wrong, but I guess only time will tell.

I agree!

Well.. the last two weeks.. 50 million flies on every south facing wall here. Mosquitos already out and nawed by a black fly while cutting cement board on the front deck yesterday. It doesn't look good!

The two dogs behind mine were from Niagra falls area.

The feller got up at 4:00am, just to have my dog whoop his butt, at least once. Hahaha
