Yes, I Know I Do Romanticize California Too Much, But Really, TICKS!!!!

Sure, people are tired of me telling them how Southern California is great, but in this case it really is. Really.

Southern California doesn't have ticks. Now, you may think I am making this up, but I am not. It's too damn dry.

When I had the first two dogs (Ashford and Hastings), they were acquired in Northern California, and vaccinated in San Mateo. The Vet talked about tick diseases that I had to understand because they didn't have them in LA.

I loathe ticks. I actually loathe anything that gets stuck under my skin: ticks, splinters, mosquitoes - they freak me out.
