Took Gretchen for a walk in the park right before sunset.
Came back and she started scratching and biting at her tail-- fleas!! grrrrrrr
So.. she got a bath, the carpets got sprayed and vacuumed, then stripped the bed and washed the sheets in hot water, vacuumed the mattress..
Wore myself out freaking out over a possible flea infestation from a 5lb dachshund..
I'll have to go to the vet tomorrow and get some Frontline.
Bought a flea collar for her at the grocery store.. Hartz, but they don't work that well.. if at all.
That said, she hasn't scratched at all since "the treatment".. probably too worn out from watching me race around..
She's under the couch.. ticked, I think.. (pardon the pun)
So much for relaxing.
