    A Tick, evil gits if they get hold of your dog. Feed on the dogs blood, ripping them off normally leaves the head in the dog possibly causing Lyme disease also can affect humans......

    I remember growing up and my dad always checking our dogs for them; like you, we had GSDs - and it was something akin to a post walk routine depending upon where we'd been.

    I remember a couple of kids on our Year 8 camp trip to the New Forest got a couple of ticks under their skin and the teacher had to get them out using a cigarette. Can't imagine they'd get away with that now.

    I was very much alive when my Missus removed it from Xenas ear. The fact it was is a good thing as I said if you kill it removing it from your dog you've probably left part of it attached to your dog. They normally pick them up in the warmer weather when running in long grass or around other animals horses etc. The one in the hadn't had chance to feed as it would be pumped up and full of blood, nasty little gits.

    A Scotch Pie(s) at Ibrox

    I've got some family down for Christmas so will be getting some fresh pies !

    this is excellent for "scratching the itch" when you can't get up the road.

    Yeah I know. Revolting little bastards, can be a bigger to remove.

    I meant after the photo was taken I would imagine it didn't live for long. Could be wrong but I am afraid I would have killed it.

    She is a rescue and at 18 months old had already had two names Sheba being the other, she already had enough issues without adding a third name so Xena it stayed. ;)image

    Posh birds. Commuting through Hammersmith and seeing them specifically.

    I remember working quite closely with someone whose family owned a premier league football club, who herself was shipped off to the US for some debutant ball, and who counted a prime minister amongst her family friends. There was always something there with her..

    To be fair, she was most likely toying around with using me to bump her father off for the inheritance.. one look at me and the poor git would most likely have had a disgust induced heart attack.

    Still, I reckon I'd have put the "nob" in "nobility"..
