Flea!

Today is a bright and sunny day to spot...... flea!

Yesterday, sista brought me out for my usual quick run on the grass patch and this morning, she found my very first flea while brushing me! *I've been really lucky not to get any without prevention for 1+ year of my life! God bless that woman.* *Roll eye*

I tell you it was so darn big and fat! doG knows how much blood it had sucked! When sista tried to pull it off, that stupid bugger just won't budge. Then the harder she pull, the tighter it cling on my skin. Luckily Shaney was around and helped sista to get rid of it. Seriously, I don't trust my sista at all. I was petrified when she pulled on my skin, I don't even dare to move! That woman is so rough at times. Geez.

You sure you know what you're doing, Sista?


Thanks doG that was the only one sista found. One lesson learnt, prevention from now on. =P

Hi Precious

Fleas are not good. I don't get fleas very often .. the only time was once when we went to the beach. I still cratch a lot though coz my skin itches.

Love from Hammer

Lizzy said...

I hope that was the only one! Fleas are horrible. I don't like them.

Since then my mom applies something on my skin every month to prevent them!
I love your picture!! Your eyes say everything!!

Hi Sista,

See, if the instrument on Chilli's blog is really a magnifying glass -- we could've used it to make sure we see that flea (and that it's the only flea you'll ever see)!!

Great minds think alike. We'll know tomorrow.

Hiya Precious

EEEYEWW!!! a flea?!?!! Yikes! it muz have be painful to have your sista pulling and pulling at that nasty thing and still not be able to get it out. Good thing you have Shaney around to come to your rescue.

And you're rite!! Prevention is better than cure. Mummy oso resumed her routine of applying the monthly flea guard thingy recently.

I hope you wont have any more of this problem in future!

Love ya!

Chilli

Bad Tick! You should be careful. They normally like to cling on our legs and work themselves to our body.

Oh no, Not flea...TICK!!! Those stuff are really nasty bloodsuckers apart from mosquitoes. They are just as bad! My mommy knows how to pull them our using her long & shiny nails. It hurts sometimes too coz she sometimes pull my hair...She's rough at times too. The other thing you mommy can do without hurting you & your lovely hair is that, she can heat the sewing needle with a lighter & when it's very hot, poke the tick's body. Make sure she doesn't touch your skin or else it'll hurt! And don't worry, the bull ticks will not run away unlike the flat red ones & fleas. Chloe & I are actually infested with some ticks too, picked up from our training grounds but my mommy bathed us with Bayticol already this Monday but not working coz too diluted with water. So next Monday, gonna try again but make sure it's stronger. I think it's time for you to put on Spot On Miss Precious!

I'm confused. Was it a flea or a tick? Either way they're both pretty horrid. Hope it doesn't come back! J x
