Thanks, Kookla - they are out there in droves this year. I lost count how many my DH and I have removed from each other - he's in the midst of getting firewood for this winter and that means felling big old dead trees which also means he's out tromping through the woods. I go over the dogs every day and haven't found many on them BUT they don't go into the woods like we do. Hang in there - it takes awhile but you'll be fine in the long run - just not a whole lot of fun getting there!
