Holiday Diary- Loulou has a tick.

[@Loulou_Friends]

Loulou's first tick. It was easy to see but not such a nice idea. We check every day now. We're still having a great time here. It is very hot so we walk from pool to river and back. 38°C / 100.40°F. Tomorrow there will be a heat wave of above 40°C / 104°F. xxx Eveline

[@erzsebetkovacs2527]

Please don't worry too much about it. One can get a tick only if they were walking in high grass or bushes, without physical protection such as long trousers tucked in socks. You can also get a protective collar for dogs. But even then, if you check every day and remove it as soon as possible, it shouldn't be a problem. Enjoy your trip :)

I'm in love with that swimming hole in the stream. It has a perfect opening in the tree canopy for the warm sun at it's deepest point.

[@ingridvaneijk2097]

Maybe it is time to go home🤗When it is getting hot. It is a long way back. I would go home. ❤😉😉Al those Insects . But keep posted with the Forecast See what the weather does before you drive the long way back home.😘You will drive back on Saturday...

[@heatherhillman9605]

Ticks are everywhere in my East Coast US home. My doggies had their monthly medicine put on them and they never had a problem with them. The ticks would bite and then immediately fall off. Now my boys had them a lot since we lived in the woods and my one boy got Lyme Disease..not good. I love that little waterfall and the merman that swims around with his sandals on. 😅. Keep on having fun!❤

I’m so glad Coco and Loulou were able to supervise Romey opening the pool this morning. They work so hard! Fred is great on the tick removal! Eveline their food looks great as usual and those stairs look as clean as can be! I feel like I’m taking a holiday too! Dank u wel

Bless that sweet baby's little Dachshund heart! Ticks are just bad news, all around. Ticks and hornets...without use! You can almost feel the heat there, Eveline, just from the colors in the video. Add in the sounds of the summer cicadas, and it reminds of me hot, humid summer here in the Southeastern US! Thank you for the new video. Pat those sweet black and tan babies for us!

Aww dear Loulou, a tick on your snoot is so unkind. I'm so glad it was quick to remove & you're now fine to enjoy your beautiful paradise ❤️🐾

[@susanwendland6917]

Love how Loulou sat when y'all got the tick off her nose i'm glad that Fred didn't fall when he had a beer in his hand walking down the steps and he didn't get hurt when he went into the river love how Loulou and Coco went into the river for a little swim and played withe sticks love the beautiful countryside love Fred's drinking beer glad he was at home driking not at a pub drinking and then getting into an accident love watching y'all video's.

Yikes that's some nasty heat. So great to have two different swimming options. Must be a hornet nest nearby. I think my favorite thing about this house location is it's privacy and view is a very close second. Cheers to making new memories and God bless❤

[@JustFiJo]

We’ve heard about the heat waves across Europe in the UK. People have apparently cancelled their holidays because in some places it too hot. So I hope the weather is and will keep treating you all well. Poor LL 😢 YUCK. But you caught the little devil.

[@Loulou_Friends]

Yes, but so far it's doing very well here. Hot but not stuffy weather. We don't do city trips or other activities so it's easy for us. Loulou & Coco sleep a lot and cool off in the river. xx

It sounds hot, just from the bush sounds! Luckily you have a lot of trees, a river and a pool! Daxies tend to feel the heat a lot I've found, they have barely any hair on their tummies and with their short legs they heat up quickly! We have found ours are much livelier in winter!

[@rogerw3818]

I was so certain that Loulou was going to "cliff dive" into the river.

[@Loulou_Friends]

Haha that will come this holiday. I think tomorrow because then it's a hot day and they go longer in the river. xx

106 degrees today as our high in Central Texas. Good to enjoy our 80 degrees inside today. Another coming tomorrow. Enjoy the vacation and hugs to LouLou and Coco. Gloria and Bear and my Heavenly crew from Texas

[@minniesmomma6374]

It’s such a beautiful place. I would never want to leave. Loulou and Coco love the walks most of all I think. They already know the trail. Unfortunately for my dogs ticks are a regular occurrence. We live in the middle of woods on 23 acres. Right around the house it is cleared with some trees but beyond that it is thick brush with trees and such. We put flea and tick prevention on them so that helps otherwise we are removing ticks every other day. The humans also get ticks. My son had been working outside by our shed and he came inside and felt something on his neck and it was a tick. He hates bugs of any kind so it kind of freaked him out. Fred is funny with his beers. He needs to keep a journal and write down which ones he likes and dislikes and the characteristics of each one. Then y’all might be able to pick them better. I don’t drink at all so I probably don’t know what I’m talking about. Lol Enjoy which it looks like y’all are.

[@DackelPlay]

Hi, Eveline! i recently purchased something in the US called *bug bite thing* that I just used a few hours ago on a tick bite on my Longhaired Dachshund. the tick was not deeply embedded yet, but was *in*. after I backed the tick out with needle nosed tweezers, i used the suction on the bugbite thing to hopefully assist in removing any fluid that may have been injected. Not 100% posiyive it worked, but it did seem to pick up...something... ! There may be a product similar that the EU has, but ours is indeed called *Bug Bite Thing*. Kisses to CoCo!

[@1o5o2]

heat & humidity, conditions for ticks & mosquitoes here in NY too...DEET is better but the marigold chemical pyrethrum actually works...wooden tongs, good idea! wont hurt the doggies...these pups are so spry, so agile on the steps...

Eveline I was itching here in the USA just watching LL’s tick ordeal! I was so happy to see papa Fred taking care of poor LouLou and removing that disgusting creature from her face!!! My friends nicknamed me “urban mutant” many years ago, exactly because I will have nothing to do with hiking, camping, or “nature” for this very reason. I am glad you are all blonde so you can easily check the girls and each other for anything. Wishing you a safe and bug free) trip home! Hugs, Michael Albuquerque NM USA

I’m so glad that you were able to remove the tick from Loulou. Try to stay cool and hydrated in the heat. Keep having fun!

Looks like the beer is protecting Fred from Mosquitoes. Stay safe during this heatwave.

[@stefaniezutter]

I don't normally leave comments, but I'd like to give you an advise, Eveline. I’d say that the best way to eliminate ticks is by using a piece of cotton soaked in alcohol. That way the tick will come off on its own. I’ve done it already many times with my own dogs. Don't ever pull it off, for their legs can stay inside the skin and release a toxin as you pull it. I’ve also learned that ticks tend to be closer to the dog’s eyes and ears. I hope you won't need this advice, but if needed, I hope it helps… Anyway, I love your videos! I'm specially enjoying to hear you speak more and more in it, since I've just started learning Nederlands (I've been dabbling in it for quite some time now haha 🇳🇱🥰🌷🧡). Wishing you all the best. Com muito amor do Brasil! 🇧🇷☺️💕

Poor LouLou, glad you got that tick off her snout easily, they can be a real nuisance. Have seen on the news about the heatwave in the Med, so hope it's not bothering you all too much. The river looks very inviting to cool off in though. Cheers Fred, even though the bull 🍺 wasn't a success.

[@mariechloefernandes5103]

Hi Loulou, please be very careful of ticks. You'll get tick poison. It happened with my German Shepherd dog, she lost her right paw because tick. I have noticed her paw was not moving. She had passed away from snake bite.

Yes it is. The first days it was crystal clear. Then we smelled a very pungent smell and the river was completely brown. We didn't dare to swim in it for a few days and now the water is getting better but it's not the same anymore.

[@ernstoud]

First tick? Really? Our dogs have several every season. Outdoor living (Veluwe). Lots of ticks here. Tip: get a special tool to remove ticks. By squeezing a tick it will inject their stomach contents in the dog, increasing the chances of sickness.

Hi, Eveline! Hornets, mosquitos, and ticks? Bitter beer? The Provence Universe must realign itself! 😂 It’s a good idea to check the dogs’ skin every day.

[@davidnierzwick2775]

My dad would always use a hot cigarette to burn the tick off! He didn't smoke so it was funny watching him puff and cough.

[@vaughn6371]

Ticks breathe through their butts so covering them in vasoline forces them to release their bite to stay alive. It's a great way to remove them whole without squeezing potential disease into your dogs bloodstream.👍

[@daydreambeliever6603]

Unfortunately the old remedies and wives tales are totally wrong. We just didn’t have any information to do better. Those treatments actually cause the tick to inject lots and lots of their Lyme causing saliva into the host. What Fred did is the correct method of removal.

I no it would be a lot of work and a bit of an experience but a bored walk most of the way to the river would be really nice and I think it would add to the beauty of it and at the end of the walk way a deck big enough to set and relax listen to the river maybe cook out.

Arrrgh! I despise ticks! It was my job as a teenager to remove them from our dacshie in upstate new york. E you likely know but those critters go anywhere: nose, ear, under tail, etc. i used to find them mostly around folds of neck near the collar, on the fleshy part above the dachsie’s shoulders and behind their ears. I always burned the ticks after removed. Ticks are tough. Dont forget to check yourselves! Lyme disease is nasty business. If anyone feels like they got the flu or you see the bullseye rash go straight to a doctor. Clothes go straight in the dryer after coming in from outside. Long pants in tall grass. Ticks wont drown from a washing machine but the dryer on high will kill them. I hate ticks!
