I always thought that was true too, but the ticks around here are hardy, I have found them much after freezes have taken place. We found one on our dog when it was snowing out a few weeks ago. It’s crazy. I’m starting to wonder if they ever go away.

Yeah, I was just repeating what I've heard. I don't know what causes them to burrow in for the winter.

If you could see it then it was probably a dog tick. Deer ticks, the Lyme Disease carriers, are so small it's hard to see the #*^%$%@.
