The tick season has begun

As beautiful as the nature overall is in this area around the "Oschenberg" - it is one of the most horrible places in Germany with the most ticks (Zecken).
Rocki already had 5 of them in the past 2 weeks and last night I found the first one on my body. Bloody bastards!!!

Every animal in this world has a reason to be here. Spiders eat bugs, birds and frogs eat bugs - what the hell are ticks made for? Anybody???
