[nagdu] Removing ticks

[Cindy Ray]

I have lit a match and then gotten as close to the skin as I could after I blew it out. They come right off. It probably works better taking them off me though.

>> 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. :-(
