Funnily enough, I don't remember ticks being a problem when we lived in Devon though the ponies got them occasionally.mighttp://letouttoplay.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-12851351229866860442012-09-25T20:38:55.774+01:002012-09-25T20:38:55.774+01:00Barney tried to be friendly with a porcupine in ou...Barney tried to be friendly with a porcupine in our yard and instead was covered in quills. We tried pulling them out ourselves, but couldn't stand the pain it was causing him and had to take him to the Vet who put him to sleep to take them out.luckyzmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176703683321469118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-2768685809704582802012-09-24T22:59:46.411+01:002012-09-24T22:59:46.411+01:00It's the lanolin.

We bred goats at that time, and found that a lamb about the house was much smellier than a kid would have been (a goat kid I mean, of course).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07558857315748815249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-32183068295857758012012-09-23T22:46:39.271+01:002012-09-23T22:46:39.271+01:00Aargh, nasty, John!
Oh yes, so did Chester. And ...Aargh, nasty, John!<br /><br />Oh yes, so did Chester. And if he found a teasel, it took half the day to get rid of. I've found a photo of a rather elderly Chester, I'll look for one when he was younger - but I didn't have a camera then and there aren't too many of them. The one I've got can go up tomorrow, I can't quite be bothered to take all my papers off the scanner tonight.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-16872170910879172342012-09-23T22:23:53.730+01:002012-09-23T22:23:53.730+01:00ps Can we see a picture of Chester please?ps Can we see a picture of Chester please?Zighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325808421083028026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-55919467861915432212012-09-23T22:17:58.969+01:002012-09-23T22:17:58.969+01:00We haven't had tick problems, luckily, but Bai...We haven't had tick problems, luckily, but Bailey, being half poodle I suppose, attracks those little sticky 'sweethearts' we call them, like a magnet. He becomes literally covered in moments and it takes simply an age to pick them all off. Only the odd one or two ever stick to Bertie.
