MURPHY JUST ATE A TICK!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

I'm so disgusted right now.  I noticed a tick on the floor (this was only the second one I've seen all Summer), and I ran to get a tissue to pick it up.  In the meantime, Murphy ATE it.  I have all these visions of this nasty creature "latching on" somewhere in his digestive track.  I can't even imagine it.  It was so small, I didn't even think he saw it, but he certainly did.  Should I be worried....or just "grossed out".

Grossed out for you...yum for him. Mine have been eating the cicada's, the past few weeks. I just walk away and not watch. Yuck!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

I think he will be okay. Peri has eaten ticks, beetles, bees, you name it. IT is gross - she loves all creatures :)

[Frannie & Callie]

You're saying "gross"...Murphy is saying "best day ever"! I can't imagine a tick living through the digestion process...they just aren't built for that!

[Christine & Shelby]

I agree... digestive acids will take care of the tick! Gross is right.... Shelby likes to eat all sorts of insects - this months favorite - June bugs! I am beginning to think I can cancel my pest control guy because she plays with and eats every spider she sees! :o) It is gross, but fun to watch!

Ewwwww Murphy me Boy...That is not something for an Irish Boy to be doing!!! I bet Guinness is keeping his distance from you. I'm sure you will be just fine but ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

It's about time dogs bite 'em back! Murphy, you're a Hero

[F, Calla & Luca]

LOL, I think I'll start eating mosquitoes.

Oh so gross for you, a tick is bad enough Jane but, Lynne a cicada double Yuck!!! Thank goodness we don't have that problem. Murphy should be ok I also think his stomach acids should take care of it.

[Maryann,Roo and Tigger]

Murphy certainly has a discerning palate. I had a dog that deliberately chased, slobbered on so they fell, and then ate flies.
ewwwwwie - dogs. One minute you are letting them lick your face and the next minute they eat a tick! Makes you feel sooooo.. special.

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I think Murph is just trying to tell you he wants more fresh food in his diet!

[Wendy and Eddie]

Especially food that tickles on its way down

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Murphy is a character!
