Fleas

My dog has fleas. They are a real nuisance. I got a book today that has some pretty good ideas. I'll keep you posted...

First, stop feeding and watering the dog. That way, eventually, the fleas will run out of food themselves. Second, if that doesn't work, try shooting the fleas off the dog with a 12-guage, or a 50-cal if you have one.

Oh, I feel your pain! Our dog Fenway had fleas this fall and it took us weeks to get rid of them - mutiple flea baths, haircut for the dog, frontline, daily checks with the flea comb and spray, treating the yard with chemicals, and finally flea bombing the house which was a major ordeal! Fleas are the worst...
