Signs of Spring - 3rd weekend in March

Found the first tick of the year attached to poor Red. I've definitely gotten pretty good at removing those little blood-suckers. A bath and some frontline were just the day before. Don't know if the tick was already on there and just missed during the bath or if the frontline takes a few days to do it's thing or what. We frontline him and the cats (even though the girls really don't go out all that much, conga does like to lay on the driveway though...) all the time and they still seem to jump on him all summer. He must be tasty.
