Argggg, I am so angry right now...I need to rant + I have some legit questions about fleas.
Oakley started showing signs of fleas a few weeks ago...but i only found one total...anyways, my roomie kept mentioning how her bf's dog (& her dog) would get them whenever they went to his parent's house & how they were no big deal, blah blah...
Anyways, I do believe the time Oakley started showing signs was correlated with a time when they came back from his parents house...but whatever, i didn't say anything.
We all bathed our dogs in flea shampoo...everyone seemed fine except Oakley...his hair is so freaking thick I just don't think it got through OR, they just keeping jumping on him from some outside source (yes, he is on flea/tick prevention)
ANYWAYS, I just took him to a place to get yet ANOTHER bath & they had a flea comb (which i didnt even know existed)...i pulled a total of SIX fleas of him...and I found that gross (& found the brush amazing)...so i bought one.
I come home & show my roomie & just jokingly (seriously, totally innocently), say "lets try this on Leo"...in ONE swipe, i got TWO fleas...
So i started being like "ewww, Leo, you're dirty, you have fleas" & my roomie got SO mad...she is like "he JUST got a bath, he is not dirty"...anyways...I continued to tell her that I consider fleas kinda dirty...and she (the QUEEN of arguing) just goes "i'm done talking about this with you...he is NOT dirty"
What. The. F****.
Leo is CONSTANTLY in our house....he clearly doesn't give a crap that he has fleas all over him...Oakley is the one constantly biting/scratching & suffering.
I am so fuming angry right now...how could she not have instantly wanted to brush him down & get them all out????
Is Oakley's prob EVER gonna go away if I have a dog that is covered with fleas??? UGh, and they are going back to his parent's house this weekend, so its just only going to get worse.
