Yep - we may have gotten them. I took the girls (Bella and Izzy) over to a friend's house to play for a while on Tuesday night. They had had a dog there for a couple of days who had been dipped for fleas, but they hadn't seen any in quite some time so we thought it was safe. I'm not sure it was.
My friend called and said she had just found one little flea on her doggie, so I went into full panic mode. I googled everything there was to know about fleas and learned way more than I ever wanted to know. So then I called my father-in-law and we made a plan of attack to get the girls flea free. My friend called later and said that after she bathed her dog, she didn't find anymore, so maybe it was just a fluke, but we weren't taking any chances.
J, my FIL and I got to work on the girls. We gave them hair cuts (brace yourself Barb) and then bathed them in flea shampoo, washed all of their bedding, toys, blankets, etc. and cleaned up the kitchen floor hoping that we got anything that might have been attached.
We didn't find any fleas on the girls, and they are quarentined in the kitchen until further notice. You don't even want to know about the discusting things fleas can do - including where they hide all their nasty little eggs.
Here's to being flea free....I pray its true!

Ugh, Steph. I'm so sorry! Please note, all you readers, that the MIL is out of town, otherwise I would have been there in the thick of the trimming and bathing! Fun times! Dale sent a pic of Izzy and she doesn't look too happy! But she didn't look like there had been a lot of trimming... you looked happy though! Looking forward to seeing you in a couple days...love you! Barb
Ugh! Sorry about the Flea Fear!!!
It's true readers, Had MIL been in town she would have been in the thick "itch" of it all!!
