Molly has had more than her share of ticks already this summer and most of them I have had to pull off the hard way. A piece of her skin has come with one of them and Molly has not forgotten that. It had to sting a little bit so now every time I go near Molly with tweezers she looks at me warily and gets up and moves growling as she does so. It is like she is saying "I am not falling for that again" and she definitely wasn't buying into "this is going to hurt me more than it does you." We are in a holding pattern for the time being as far as the tick thing goes until I can figure something else out.
Update- I smothered the tick in Vaseline but Molly still will not let me close enough to remove it from her but at least it is dead.
