They are such a pest

On a day, snow blanketed the land, but the very next day, Tick Season sprung upon us! Can you believe it? I was so caught up relishing the newfound warmth that I forgot about safeguarding my furry friend and myself from those sneaky ticks.

The other day, while giving Bella some affectionate pats, I stumbled upon something alarming—a suspicious bump. Yes, the ticks had returned unexpectedly early! I reside in a stunning yet notorious area in Ontario known for its relentless tick population.

With Bella due for her summer grooming, I decided to give her a quick check. To my dismay, I discovered 5 ticks nestled in and 3 making their way around. Enraged by this unwelcome surprise, I took Bella to the groomers, only to find 15 more ticks—some hitching a ride, others snugly embedded. My carelessness left me feeling upset!

I'd never thought about spraying Bella before her outdoor adventures. But now, I've concocted a significant batch of Tick Spray. Every time we step outside, Bella and I get spritzed. During summer, Bella relishes her outdoor time, popping indoors just for a quick treat. And guess what? Since we've started using the spray, I haven't spotted a single tick on her! Trust me, I give her a thorough inspection before she's welcomed back inside.

Just a little heads-up for all pet lovers out there!
