Original English title:Ticks
Post summary:Just a reminder to check your hair and scalp for ticks. I went to the Mills neighborhood this evening, did a routine tick check before leaving, and found none. When I got home, I found 3 in my hair. Now I can't stop checking to see if I missed any, because my hair is long and curly, they can easily hide there haha. So please don't forget to check, because you might end up carrying them with you!

Just wanted to send out a reminder to check you hair and scalp for ticks. I was out at Mills Block this evening and did the usual tick check before leaving and didn't find any. After arriving home I found 3 in my hair. Now I can't stop checking if I missed any as my hair is long and wavy and it's easy for them to hide

- Good reminder! I often forget to check my head! (10)
EN: Good reminder! I usually forget to check my head! - The Mills neighborhood is also close to Rabbit Hill, which is a hotspot for local deer ticks (which can transmit Lyme disease). So that's extra motivation to be diligent about checking for ticks. (9)
EN: Mills Block is located quite close to Rabbit Mountain too which is a local hotspot for deer ticks (the ones that can transmit Lyme disease). So that’s an extra incentive to be diligent in your checking for ticks. - Just pulled a tick off my dog's eyelid... seriously FML. Trying to get the dog to sit still. Poor girl. (8)

Original English title:Cross border with cat
Post summary:Has anyone crossed the Minnesota border with a cat? Before I call the vet clinic in Grand Marais to see if they take patients, I want to make sure my cat can get through.

- Please call the US border at Pigeon River to confirm. Be sure to note the name of the officer you speak with. You could also try Dryden. I know it's farther, but it might be the best option. Good luck with your kitten. (7)
EN: Call the U.S. border at Pigeon River to be sure. Make sure to note the officer’s name to whom you speak. You can try Dryden too. I know it’s farther, but it might be the best option. Good luck with your kitty. - I have to assume that if you need to cross, you'll be asked to show proof or be turned away. I also think the government changed the rules last year about allowing us to use vet services in the US. You need to double-check. (6)
EN: I have to assume if thats required to cross you would be required to show proof of it or be turned away. Also I feel like the government changes the rules about allowing us to use vet services in the USA just in the last - If not, Dryden is also a good option, even though it's far, they were very good to my son. (6)
EN: If not Dryden is a great option even though far away, they were very good with my boy - Yes, that's the main thing, like if I could get them up to date on vaccines locally, I wouldn't need to go to a different country to see a vet, now I will... (3)
EN: Yeah that's the kicker, like if i had the capability to get them up to date on vaccines locally, i wouldn't need to travel to a diff country to see a vet, now would I...

Post summary:Hi everyone, I'm the current owner of a 1906 brick house in Fort William, and I'm trying to trace its early history.
