Change flee treatments (brand) and that is way too much flea product on the dog your going to kill it. You're using so much the fleas are basically immune to it. Collars only kill fleas that get near it big waist of money. 

I massively over react to fleas, it's not something he ever had in the U.K., and they freak me out (and are making him miserable)

 

Will take his collar off (tho he's had no ticks this year so I figure it's doing some good?), he had a different touch on yesterday and I will ease up on the vets choice (that's rednecks doing, he's convinced it's the best thing ever despite the evidence it isn't working)

I just want the poor lad not to be miserable

I had to google vet's choice. Toss that stuff it clearly isn't working. For fleas I never found an all natural product that worked and I tried many.

If the only thing you are using is the natural stuff then go to Walmart buy this https://www.walmart.com/ip/PetArmor-Plus-Dog-4-22-lb/42425086. It's their version of Frontline Plus and it works. Do a flea bath with blue Dawn dish soap. let it sit on him for a few minutes rinse and repeat a few times. Then add the drops to his neck. Don't let your guard down in the winter either the fleas are just as bad then.

 Cup holder report...

 

It sits canted. There's another cup holder, but that's no better. With the cup only half full, 1 moderate bump and I got a splash. This never happens in the accord...

Redneck wants to go to the movies today to see Dark Tower (or whatever it's called), he has visions of going to the 10 o'clock showing, I'll be amazed if he is up and awake that early..

 

Oscar dog has fleas, they must be some kind of mutation cos this house has been treated, everything has been boil washed, he has a $80 flea collar, has had that touch on stuff, gets bathed in flea shampoo regularly and is soaked in vets choice twice a day - just how are these infernal things not dead!

We will be treating the house again today, buying him another new bed (I threw his out in the yard last night) & bathing him yet again - I hate hate hate fleas.

 

I have coffee so my little world is good

 

Vacuum religiously all the corners and little crevices on furniture with a cut up flea collar in the bag.  This is what always worked for us when our dog picked them up from the neighbor's dog.

 

It got my Starbucks yesterday so I'm set for the week.  Venti Java Chip Lite, why are so you good?

I have a couple of those thermos ones, they're big. I use them when hunting.

Tiff commandeered one of them, because she realized they were better than the nipponese ones she bought, for more money...

I'm gonna get a small yeti tumbler. Or something similar, maybe that Starbucks one. I'll look next time I'm there.

3 more gripes about this car so far.

No sunglasses holder.

No little misc utility compartment in the middle of the dash. 

Only 2 accessory plugs in the interior.

Tiff's fat friend got a makeover. And she's looking pretty hot...

She's the one whose brother in law dropped dead at the casino. 

Sometimes I feel bad for her. 

Her husband is loud and boisterous, changes jobs over and over, her 3 kids are a direct reflection of him. 

I know she wants to be classy, but she's being held back. 

They got their house foreclosed a few years ago. But then she blows that settlement money from her BIL...

I'm only fond of 1 of Tiff's thuggy friends. 

This woman lost her father when she was a toddler, she has like 3 siblings, and was raised in a convent in Malaysia while her mother went to make a living. 

She followed her BF to the US and they got married here. 

I remember when she first got here and met Tiff, she was apprehensive.  She was afraid of me, or at least, uncomfortable.  

She has 2 kids now. And they're a direct reflection of her. Polite and graceful. Her husband, the guy works hard, respectable. But he spends all his spare time fishing! 

She's raised by a bunch of nuns, so I got her daughter a children's bible. 

Come to think of it, I gotta get her a harmonica as a reward for not fighting with The Little Turtle over a harmonica.

I'll order it right now...
