Fleas if you please
It all started with a few red, itchy spots on my thigh. I had taken the girls "offroading" at the local park....we spent most of our time running around in the grass rather than sticking to the paved path. A couple of days later is when the spots appeared so I blamed it on chiggers until more spots began to appear nearly every morning....on my thighs, stomach, back. It was getting creepy. Then, as I was lying in bed reading the other night, I noticed something jump out of the corner of my eye.....I had seen that before when Ruby picked up fleas. FLEAS!!!!!!! Oh no! I jumped out of bed, immediately took a flashlight and started looking over every inch of Ruby. Because she's fawn-colored, it's much easier to find things.....like fleas. Sure enough, I found a big fat flea on Ruby's tail! Neither girl had shown any of the telltale signs like scratching so I never thought to look them over very closely. And then it dawned on me....those weren't chigger bites.....I had flea bites!!!!!!!!!!!! I immediately gave the girls their dose of Frontline then stripped the bed and washed nearly every article of clothing, towels, etc. I vacuumed my apartment until every speck and fleck was gone. Not sure where the girls would have picked up fleas but you can bet I'll be far more attentive to monthly doses of Frontline. And I'll stop placing blame on the poor chiggers! Never a dull moment with the puggies! 0 comments from 0 users
