FLEAS (*&@1!....arg...&*!)

Apparently fleas live here. They thrive especially in damp wooded areas.....such as our back yard. No one bothered to tell me that in order to not get them you need to PREVENT them by treating your dogs all year round. So as a consequence...the dogs have fleas. I am so traumatised that I just had to share with all two of you who actually read this blog. I have freaked out and completely sterilized the whole house but unfortunately I don't know for sure that they are gone. I will only know if they arent back in a month. I am not doing well with this. Last night we decided that the guest bedroom was the only safe place in the entire house since we generally keep the door closed. But no. When I woke up a flea jumped off Birdy right on to me. This is war. I would bomb our house but I am pretty sure it would kill Leo. Wish us luck.

Ok, fleas are bad,Ill give you that. But we had a SCORPIAN PROBLEM!! OK, now thats serious, and scary with kids. We found at least 10 in 6 weeks. When the last one was right under the babys bed, I freaked out. We had someone come spray.Ive only seen 1 since then. Sorry 'bout the gloomy rain, but Amen God never leaves you with out some light.
