A big box arrived in the mail yesterday. APPARENTLY it is a bunch of non-toxic, organic, natural pills that Frodo and I will be taking to ward off fleas and ticks this summer. My human is a BIT obsessive about not loading us with toxic chemicals. Several years ago, she gave us a flea and tick medication from the Vet – and Frodo had a reaction – so since then, it’s been us against nature. But she had several recommendations for this new natural voodoo concoction – so we will be starting it. So far, despite the fact that we live in the boonies – and run in the woods, we have not been plagued by ticks. But we know we have just been lucky – they ARE out there. Ticks are horrid little creatures – they attach themselves to a dog – or even a human and suck blood. Like mini Vampires. But bad enough that they suck blood – they can also spread diseases like Lyme. Honestly, I would like someone to tell me ONE good thing about ticks. I know we are all God’s creatures – but CLEARLY, God was having a bad day when he created ticks. Anyway, our new hocus pocus pills have arrived – and we’ll be reporting on their effectiveness. If they work – maybe they can pay me to do commercials…
Well it’s Saturday – so time to get my human moving. I am SUCH an excellent Personal Trainer.
Have a great day. I know I will. I always do.
