DO NOT use remedies such as “painting” the tick with nail polish or petroleum jelly or using heat to make the tick detach from the skin. Your goal is to remove the tick as quickly as possible–not wait for it to detach. Here’s how to safely and quickly remove a tick:

ALREADY UNDERSTOOD
No matter how much I cry, you won’t come back.
The sadness in my eyes will never fade away.
I will always look to the sky,
Searching for a sign that will never arrive.
Until my last breath,
I will carry this emptiness in my chest
That no one can fill.
Others may forget you, but I never will.
A thousand times I will ask why you had to leave,
And there will never be an answer.
Many will tell me to stop grieving, time has passed,
But for me, this pain will remain as fresh as the moment you left.
Everyone will continue with their lives as if nothing happened,
While mine has completely and radically changed.
My strength lies in thinking
That each day that passes is one less day until I see you again.
I’ve learned to smile,
Even when a tear escapes from my eyes.
I will no longer see you as I once did,
And I will miss your barks and your gentle looks.
It’s hard to understand,
But my mind has already processed all of this.
The real problem is
I still don’t know when your absence will stop hurting me. 😢

For decades, stereotypes about people high on ma*****na have included images of unmotivated, relaxed (maybe even sleepy) people sitting on couches, eating potato chips and ice cream. Sadly, the picture is not-so-innocent when animals are exposed to ma*****na, and that is happening more frequently.
