Hi Trish!
So adorable!
I just came inside from playing outside on the front porch with Louie. It's a big front porch that wraps around the front of my house, extending to the one side. I didn't realize the rain last week left it sort of dusty, so he's rather dirty since I took him out there to spray him (soak him actually) with "Natural Chemistry's De Flea"! It's the safe stuff that's supposed to kill fleas on contact once it's lathered up. I precisely followed the directions and amazingly, I watched the DEAD fleas rise to the surface. I think he loved the massage because he sat there on my lap for over 20 minutes while I worked up the lather and brushed and combed his fur against the nap....lol.
I'm going to buy one of those fine-toothed flea combs. I thought about it the other day when I was at the Pet Store, but stupid idiot me, I passed on the purchase.
Have you ever heard of
Flea Traps and if so, are they effective? I wouldn't mind putting one in this room to attract any fleas that hatch
Apparently my yards are full of fleas from the squirrels and neighborhood cats. I'm not going to let Louie into the yards again until Spring, and before I do, I will have the yards sprayed. This grass will go dormant come November or December - whenever the weather gets cold.

We use the Bayer Seresto Flea and Tick Collar from Bayer on our dogs. No fleas, no ticks and no need to spray. It was recommended by our vet. You might want to ask your vet about it. We got it from Amazon.
Prior to that they were bringing the ticks into the house, which was awful.

Thanks for the tip on the "Natural Chemistry's De Flea" !!
(A "Lice" comb will work also.It would save you a trip to the pet store if its farther than the nearest CVS-Walgreens,Walmart etc.You can "google it)
