"Big fleas have little fleas
Upon their backs to bite 'em
And little fleas have lesser fleas
And so ad infinitum"
I have owned dogs for the last 36 years, a black lab, a beige greyhound, a brindle greyhound and now a white greyhound with black bits and fleas!!!
Possibly because she is white with very short hair, I realised that what I was seeing was not black dandruff (doh!) but "flea dirt"!
Grace rarely meets other dogs, she is "Frontlined" regularly, our house is hoovered etc often enough so I never expected to see tiny black things moving along the poor dog's back. Apparently there has been a massive rise in fleas last summer and this (or perhaps the vet nurse was being kind and we live in a health hazard) and the dogs pick them from grasses, hedges, out on walks, even out in the garden.
So I now have a huge aerosol spray with an equally huge price tag and am in the process of treating the 'whole house*
Should I be ringing a bell and shouting "unclean, unclean"?
And why has writing this started me off itching? (It takes me back to the "shameful" nit days with the DC)
Sympathy/empathy please!
