[nagdu] Removing ticks

[Lisa]

Hi everyone,

How do you remove a tick from your beloved dog?
I read about different preferences on the internet. I know that you have to 
grab the tick without pulling its head of because it remains in the dog's 
skin then. I read some people carefully move it around a bit so it gets 
loose. Others say you just have to take it between your finger nails and 
pull it off. But neither of those methods works for me. :-(
Luckily, Taylor only had three ticks over the summer but I always had to ask 
a sighted friend to remove it.
I don't know, maybe some of you  have additional advice for me? Maybe it is 
easier when the tick has grown already? Because I always find them when they 
still are tiny.

Anyway, any advice would be greatly appreciated. :)
