Flea Season

Our weather hasn't been terrible hot, and we water the yard and garden quite
a bit, so we are pretty much at the peak of flea season.
So today is the day, Advantage for everyone and heartworm meds for Kayla.
We have no fools in this house. (except for maybe me) Kayla saw me reach
for the top shelf in the refrigerator door and headed under the sofa. All I
was after was her heartworm treat and she likes that one. But she knows
what comes next. So I load up the large syringe for her and the smaller one
for Molly. Jake will get his later.
Kayla gets out the back door into the yard and forgets every command she has
ever learned. Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Behave. All to use. She also knows
"no bite" and off, but those wouldn't help.
I swear, I cannot smell this stuff and I've had it all over my hands an
didn't feel anything. But all the critters just hate it.
Finally got Charlie to hold Kayla so she is treated. Molly will be the next
victim. Charlie insists Jake be allowed a reprieve unless he is actually
sporting fleas.
But this stuff is potent. It took off my nail polish where it touched, and
even softened the surface of an acrylic nail. That takes a powerful
solvent.
A reminder to those of you who have had exceptionally wet weather. The
fleas just love it. Don't let them get the upper hand.
