No scratching without a reason - small or big

Ok, I just want to warn you. Especially you who live "up here" since we have nice small tics. We do not have the big brown ones (yet)...When we had Kumi she started to lick her paws, very intense. There could be many reasons for that. Allergy, wounds but also....mini mini ticks not visible to the naked eye. These shots are taken with a macro-lense...

Notice the close-up. The pictures shows ONE TOE only.
