After all that is when the most interesting part of my day started taking place. Around 10:30 I was hanging out with Delia and found some interesting bumps on her tummy. If I kinda squeezed one like a zit, something would kinda pop out of it. It was white and gross and freaked me out completely. You see, I had read this article on fly strike a while back. It's where an animal has a wound in which a fly lays eggs. The dog can get infected and die shortly thereafter. Thankfully, I have a friend who works an overnight shift at an animal hospital. I always ask her advice on dog issues since I've never had to take care of a dog before. Tonight was no different. She helped me through the different possibilities and then we finally figured out what they were. Ticks! I couldn't believe it. It certainly did not look like a tick. It looked like a worm or something! Anyway, with Doug's help, we were able to get the little boogers out of her. I felt sorry for her because it was obvious that she was uncomfortable but a little treat and belly rub did the trick and made her feel all better. Now, ready to see the tick?
