Bugs. Freaking Bugs.

A few days ago, I realized that Spring really is upon us and with Spring, come bugs. Nasty freaking little bastards that bite and suck and crawl and are all around gross.

I'm not normally squeamish and buts don't usually bother me but I draw the line at ticks. I don't do ticks. Not even a little bit. They gross me out and I want to vomit when I see them. This situation was made worse when I found the first one of the season the other day ON MY NECK. Not on my dog, not on the carpet... i found him on my person. Eoetnweoifverj;werj43098ogjd;fv;oj. <- is pretty much how I reacted.

Then, the next day, I went to get my jacket out of the trunk of my car and a spider had made a web in it and was still there. Just sitting there looking at me with his little bastard spider eyes. No, I didn't freak out like I did with the tick but I still haven't touched my coat even though Kevin washed it. Or so he says. What if there are spider eggs in it? Ew.

Moral of this story? There is no moral. I just had nothing else to post about. And I wanted a reason to post a picture of Bodie.

He got a bath today to ensure there were no ticks on his person.


Five minutes after this picture was taken, he ran outside to pee and promptly rolled around in the field next to our house. You know... where ticks live.

Asshole dog. He's lucky he's cute. ;)

Nicole said...

I'm sorry, I giggled when you called him an asshole dog... hahaha... poor pup! He is cute though and at least he didn't roll in a pile of cow poop after the bath, right :)

Gah! That gives me the heebie jeebies! And isn't it very lucky for all dogs that they're so cute? I say that to mine every single time he's being an asshole. Which is fortunately not very often, but still. Lovable cuddly asshole dogs that they are.

Ah! Bugs are the worst! And um, your dog is too cute!

Amber said...

Ahhh, bugs are the worst thing about Spring! my dog has been getting fleas :( My vet said it's normal since we didn't really have a "winter" here to get rid of them.. but it still makes me feel so bad when he's itchy!

Hah. Just sitting there looking at me with his little bastard spider eyes.

You crack me up women.

I killed a palmetto bug with tile cleaner and SPF the other day while screaming "die you asshole!!!" I totally get you girl.

Dude. I totally feel you on the ticks they are AWFUL here in Missouri (pronounced Miz-ur-ah). I thought Texas bugs were bad but I'd take those bastards over a nasty blood sucking tick any day.

Oh and there are SCORPIONS here too. Thankfully I've never seen on or I'd be even more of a shoe freak.

Dude, I have found the NASTIEST bugs in my place. These creepy beetles. They're so scary!

Sara said...

Hahaha! The ticks are really bad this year. We've found lots of them on ourselves and the dogs already. YUCK!

Emily @ Piece of Reece said...

Nooo! I am weeping for you! Oh man, I had to get a tick off a dog that wasn't mine (I was house sitting) last year and it was a nightmare.

Carolyn said...

OMG! I'm SO with you. Seriously. Bugs are the grossest thing ever. And ticks? The worst. Except maybe centipedes. But ticks dig into you and stress you out. Centipedes are just creepy. BAH. Gross. Now I'm all itchy. HAHAHAHA :)

Callie always goes and rolls in something terrible right after bath time. Pisses me off every time!

Kelsey said...

They love to roll around after baths!! Mine do the same thing. But he is so cute!
