Goofy, you got this all wrong.  Studies have shown that leftists strongly prefer cats while conservatives prefer dogs. You know, the cats that run wild all over the place.  But leave it to you to make this about political views.  

And yes, we let our dog run and get exercise on trails where we can.  Where leashes are required we keep him on a leash.  And no, we don't wear a mask either.  It's called freedom.

But the original point I was making stands....ticks are worse this year then ever.  We have been walking our dogs off a leash on trails around the lake since 2003 and never once had an issue with ticks.  This year for some reason is different.  That was the sum  total of my post and it had nothing to do with politics because my life is not consumed by politics as yours apparently must be.
