Lovely pictures - he's a handsome boy.
Debra - what a coincidence - I too had my first tick this year (or at least Bereke had the tick, not me) and that after more years than I care to remember.
My husband remembered seeing instructions on how to remove it luckily!
Lovely pictures and really good ones for coming from a cameraphone. My pics always suck from the phone, and forget trying a moving target. The dogs looks as if they are loving it, good for you for finding such a treasure, an enclosed area where the dogs can be dogs-safetly.
