I don't know. I didn't see anything as my daughter took her to the doctor for running a 103 degree temp. Yes that is mighty high for a 7 year old. She had an inner ear infection and that is when they were told she could possibly have Lymes disease. I wasn't there at the hospital with them so I don't know and I should have thought and asked about the bullseye rash but didn't. I will ask her tomorrow about it before she goes to church. Thanks Tweety.
Thanks Tweety. We have lots of ticks here too. When we had 'the neighbors' chickens free-ranging in our yard, they ate the ticks. But the church 3 lots down has a parsonage where the pastor has a large white dog. He killed every chicken my neighbor had; even in broad daylight. The last Rooster which my grandkids called 'Foggy' thanks to my husband for Foghorn Leghorn, was killed right in front of my grandkids when the dog came over. That is when we figured out he was the one who killed all the chickens. After that, my neighbor tried once again to raise free-range chickens, but that dog killed them all. My husband caught it in our yard and 'whacked' it across the head with a heavy stick and it stayed away for quite a while. But now he is back. My daughter bought chickens but keeps hers kept up in a pin with chicken feed. So there is nothing here to kill the ticks and the grandkids keep getting them no matter how much you mow the yard.
This one happens to be the Pastor of the church. How do you tell him to get rid of a chicken killing dog or keep it locked up? That's why George hit it in the head with a heavy stick. He may have to do it again, although the dog doesn't deserve to be hit by doing something dogs have evolved in doing from their ancestry. But we must do something to keep it away. As for the ticks, there are lots of Cedar Trees around the yard and in the wooded area around my home. I hear ticks thrive on cedar trees.
P. S. The kids were so upset about Foggy the rooster that they had a funeral for him with the few feathers that the dog left in the yard. Those kids came running in really fast that day screaming and crying that the dog had Foggy in his mouth. By the time they got inside, he had done ran through the woods beside the house and back to his neighborhood home. Probably ate poor Foggy in the woods.
