right now I am mightily cheesed off at the colony of fleas that refuses to vacate my dog's coat. They have bit him all red about the legs. I cannot gas them on account of his epilepsy and cannot use the strongest flea drops for same reason. I can only comb them out and suffocate them in alcohol and rub more gentle flea repellent/killer on him. Drat those horrid fleas. I just spent 15 minutes rubbing his legs with shea butter to soothe the bites. poor baby. Bad enough he had three fits yesterday and he couldn't scratch at the fleas himself.

Fleas are rotten creatures. They bring plague, they bite dogs. May God smite them all.
