Fleas are terrible here, this year.

All the rain, I suppose.

I’m using flea traps, DE and non-toxic sprays on the dogs.

It takes longer but we’re not all being exposed to those happy little neurotoxins people fog themselves with.

I know what you mean.

Years ago, I was at a Home Depot in Frederick MD and whilst checking out, a ladybug popped out of the sleeve of my coat.

It had probably been hiding in there since I’d left the house, hours before and I held it in my hand until I could find an empty pill bottle in the car.

I brought it “home” so it would not be confused and disoriented, and that it might join its family in the annual migration from which it was surely resting, when it got lost in my coat.

Now, extrapolate *that* to lost ~mammals~ and you can imagine the emotional angst that my life truly is.

:D

You’re a one-person universal rescue squadron. All you need to do is lose the angst and keep doing what you do, and all will be right in your universe.

Sal, I give you all the credit in the world...I love animals, always have, but insects don’t get my love. You know I’ve mentioned my bug phobia.

But you, girl, are a TRUE animal lover. :)

I hope you get those fleas under control.
