Good News!

 The good news is that the fleas seem to be gone!  A thorough search this afternoon found none.

We'll keep checkin'.  As I said, having fleas around here is uncommon.  We don't have ticks either....at least where we live, as a rule; but we'll keep a look out for them, too.  Thanks for all information about available products.

But enough about those pesky bugs.  The really exciting news is look what SHE found at the shops!

 Even Kendra's baguette-stealing skills wouldn't work here.  There were six little bags.....that means two bags for each of us, right?  Wrong!  We only got a few to taste.  They were out of this world, little balls of cheese and bacon flavour.

 I'm trying to catch one here. It bounced off my nose. You have to be quick before one of the other's gets it.

 Bella didn't have a clue.  It just bounced off her head.  I at least tried to catch it.

Kendra is the best at catching food, she rarely misses......but we couldn't get any pictures.  Would you believe we had to share ONE little bag AND it wasn't shared out fairly?  I keep track of  these things.  SHE managed to get the lion's share!  Now the other five bags are high up in the treat cupboard.  Sometimes life's so unfair.

W A R !!!!!

 WE'RE AT WAR!

For the past two days, we've been scratching and scratching.  When SHE checked us.  SHE found fleas!

This is me, Daisy since you can't tell us apart, scratching.

 We've been in drought for so long; it's usually hot and dry.  So we have NEVER had fleas before.  When SHE lived in Sydney a hundred years ago  where it's hot and humid, it was a constant battle: an endless cycle of bathing dogs, washing bedding, flea wash, flea spray, cortisone  needles, you name it!

 It's all this rain we've been having, and cats.

Today, SHE went out to arm herself with flea shampoo, Frontline and Capstar.  Luckily, the first stop was our vet's office,  where SHE was presented with these very expensive  chewable tablets that are supposed to do EVERYTHING!

For a... whole... month!

 

Have any of you tried them?  SHE'S a bit sceptical.

We had our tablets, wrapped in cheese, with dinner a few minutes ago. 

(Hope it works, those little bugs are extremely annoying.) 

Wordless Wednesday--Me

Our Beach

Our little beach, on the river, is called:

 Here's Bella standing on the beach.

Notice anything?

Rainy Monday

 We awakened to pouring rain this morning.

 It's wet every where.

 Even the flowers are looking down-trodden.

 Kendra ventured out because she had to. 

BUT.....

Bella has been out looking for birds!

An Award

Hi Everyone,

Early last week, our friend Levi Mac gave us this Doggie Bloggie Award.  We feel very honoured that he thought of us.  If you haven't met Levi Mac before, you should go visit him.  He only found his forever family last June and started blogging in August.  So he's trying out all sorts of new things and having new experiences.  We love visiting him.

We did receive this award not long ago, so we won't be following the rules (again), but we just wanted you to know what a great fellow he is (girls, he's a hunk; and guys, you've got some competition here) and how much we appreciate the award.

THANKS!!! Levi Mac

Saturday Morning

 This morning we all piled into the car to go to the river via the shops and coffee place.

 We didn't walk along the river today.  While SHE had her morning cappuccino, we ran around the picnic area.  Then walked up the hill.  We were free to run around like........well....like dogs.  Kendra went AWOL as usual, so she had to be put on the lead.

 Even Bella was fairly well behaved, just watching the cyclists and walkers today. No chasing.

 These are just a few of the pictures of us. (SHE took 46!)

 After an hour, it was time to go home.  Bella refused to be put in the car.  She was so cunning that she came, sat, got her treat and ran away.  Finally she jumped into the driver's seat by herself.  Obviously she  wanted to get in by herself.  We thought she was very naughty.

UNTIL............

We got home and found that Kendra had helped herself to a baguette! 

(Don't know who made the seat so messy.  I'm sure it wasn't me.)
