Poor Charlie Brown - hope he's doing okay. I know what you mean about seeing (and feeling) the tics. We don't get them often here in SoCal - usually in the fall when it's wetter out. I have Labs and the are sooo easy to see on Jack (yellow) versus my other Labs, chocolate & black. Have had to remove many a tic in my day.
Hobie is a yellow Lab mix, so yes, it's very easy to see them on him. Charlie and Cooper have a lot of white on them, and they're medium-brown so it's still easy to see the ticks on them, but not "as" easy. My previous two dogs were black, impossible to see ticks on them! ARGH!
Tick-borne diseases are no joke! Sorry to hear about the diagnosis but glad that you caught it and treated it.
