My dad would remove ticks from our dog by touching it’s butt with a lighted cigarette. Bastards would hit reverse from whatever depth they had got to. Then smash.

My dad used to use vaseline. When the tick came off, we used to put it into an ashtray with 91% rubbing alcohol and roast it.

Well, we did, until the dog discovered it loved the taste of freshly removed ticks...same dog that chewed up a flashlight battery while it was teething.

.same dog that chewed up a flashlight battery while it was teething.

Like our crazy Siamese that ate all the rubber doorstops tips off in a fair sized house.

And ate the mouthpieces on our scuba regulators, which we found out about almost too late when going diving. Crazy cat loved to chew rubber.
