@christophernolen1: This is one of the two dark fur sisters who have been coming fairly regularly in the last week or so. The other sister came a few minutes earlier and was pretty comfortable taking a it from me. This one did end up take a piece of walnut before I started getting up close and personal but ended up taking another walnut piece with medicine on it since she may not let me get those ticks off anytime soon. Maybe the medicine will make them fall off.
