Our day in a nutshell...or in dogpaws...

Fleas. We have fleas. 4 times now, since we have been married, we have been enundated with fleas. This time, however, we have no idea how they started covering our home. We haven't had indoor cats in over a year (thankfully!) and the last time Bullet came in was a week after his last flea medication treatment.

Somehow, someway, they found a way in and they continued to bite and multiply.
So today...we had a canine sacrifice. No, there was no blood involved. Just a flea pill (Comfortis, if you haven't heard, is a newer flea medicine that after 30 min. you can actually see dead fleas on the floor around your dog).

Bullet was brought in after 30 minutes and J & I proceeded to lure him into every room in hopes of him "catching" all live fleas so they would die on him. I know...it sounds very cruel, but since they are dying after they land on him (with this medicine, they don't have to bite to die), he doesn't itch. And he's a spoiled dog who hasn't been allowed in for 3 weeks so he would just about do anything to be in the house. He is scared to death of the bathroom, however, because of having had 2 baths in there as a puppy so even using his favorite cheese as a lure almost didn't work!
I did feel a little bad when I flicked fleas that had crawled onto my foot over onto Bullet. So maybe that was a bit wrong, but he's the only source of death to the fleas! Spray just makes 'em angry...trust me. (ps...is that not the sweetest dog you have ever seen?)
