oops Penny Loafer is looking a little mad

She's a little ticked . Hippychick told me today she may have brought fleas into my house. I'm sure she didn't, she was here last Tuesday night and found out the next day her dog had fleas. Her dog wasn't here, but she said the fleas could have come in her clothing. Yipp... bark bark bark......

I have no experience with fleas. She said I should get a flea collar for my Penny, should I? The dog was never in my house.....and yes, perhaps she had a few leaping around on her clothes when she was here...gross.... But in a cold climate like ours I never think of fleas. Those stinking bastards. She told me she had her dog groomed at the vet's about a month ago, and thought perhaps it came from there. It's been a week since she has been here, and I haven't seen Penny scratching so I think it's okay. Poor Hippychick, she had to tell me her dog may have passed on fleas ... it's like telling the guy you slept with you had umm ... crabs or something more delightful. That's what good friends or lovers do. What a good friend I have.

I am still working on finishing my template.... I have run into a few road blocks, most of my own making, but I will get my photos and Blogs I read up sometime next week. It's a work in process.

I'm sure Penny Loafer would have let you know immediately if a flea or two had moved in.

Joan, PLEASE don't get a flea collar! If the collars get wet, they are dog killers. My friend lost a dog from a wet flea collar several years ago. Go to your vet and get some Advantage and follow the vet's directions.
Good luck!

Fleas are a pain in the rear but it will soon become apparent if one migrated onto Penny. Just look out for the signs and treat her if it happens....no flea collars tho, more trouble than they are worth, there is good stuff out there to knock em dead if and when they present themselves, without subjecting her to a chemical necklace!

I doubt with all that cold weather that a flea will be able to make it...happy day Miz Joan!hughugs
