gosh I miss her. Ranger is an independent boy. She always came and check on me. He will follow me to the bathroom sometimes for whatever the heck reason but for the most part he just hangs near Steve or lays in the hallway unless he is outside. He loves to be outside. It is so hot today he is miffed that he has to be in. I found an engorged tick on him the other night. I hope I was seeing the head and got it all. Cleaned it with peroxide and Alchohol. With K9 advantix I have found a few ticks but never fleas. I am not sure if it is supposed to kill them when they got on him or not but this big thing was sure still alive. I was disgusted.
