Sorry for being MIA. Momma has been really busy with her work. She has some free time today so I took advantage of it and motioned her to help me blog.
Anyhoo, I was rushed to the hell house (again) because Momma panicked when she noticed several little lumps in my arms. The vet said that there's nothing to worry about because those lumps were just flea bites.
Momma: Flea bites??? How did that happen? We always make sure our house is clean and Sushi gets her bath every week. Does she have fleas?
Vet: No, she doesn't have fleas. Do you have dogs or cats within your vicinity?
Momma: Cats, no. Dogs, yeah. Our next door neighbor has a dog. There's another one at the far end on the other side.
Vet: Okay, so that's where Sushi got those bites. Fleas jump from one pet to another easily. And we're not sure if their humans give their pets bath and medication as often as they should.
Thank Cod, I don't have fleas! But those bites sure were itchy.
Bummer, Sushi sorry your neighbors made you itchy with their fleas glad you are feeling better and chilling by the fan.
ReplyDeleteOMC, the dog gave you fleas!?! How rude!
ReplyDeleteYikes, that's not very nice of the woofie to gives you fleas!
ReplyDeleteLub your laser eyes Sushi, MOL.

ReplyDeleteHi there Sushi. We have missed you and so glad to see you again. So sorry you have the itchies. A lot of us have that too. You are looking mighty cute as usual. Hope you have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteSweetheart, ask Mommy to comb thru your furs to make sure none of those nasty fleas took a ride home on you. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteYeah, those little things pack a big bite.
ReplyDeleteThe neighbour's dog's fleas bit you - how naughty of them - we hope that dog gets real itchy.

We got fleas from the dog next door 2 years ago. We are inside cats and they came through the walls! Just be careful and keep an eye open so it doesn't become an infestation. Our mom put drops on us for a couple months to be sure.
ReplyDeleteI have been pretty lucky the past several years--I'm an only kitty and I stay indoors, so usually I don't get fleas, though sometimes they can come in on the Human's shoes, etc.--ick ick ick!!! Still, the Advantage stuff works if you really need it. XOXOXOXO
ReplyDeleteVacuuming regularly is one of the best things you can do to keep fleas under control in your house. True story.
ReplyDeletePoor Sushi! We are sorry that woofie gave you fleas!
