Can I just scream, ICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have the heebie Jeebies so bad right now I can't even tell you!!!! I was sitting in my chair last night brushing Harley like I do most nights and at first I saw a couple little itty bitty black specs, thought they were dirt or crap-who knows what. Than, I saw it, a big one that moved!!!!!!!! I picked 3-4 medium size ones of his skin.
I picked up Oliver and the same thing. I thought oh boy, better check kitty, he had them all over. Kitty had them the worse by far. We figure that Chloe, the one who used to go outside but got hit a couple of weeks ago brought them in. She primarily kept to the basement and the dogs never go down there but the other kitty does. I only brush that kitty once a week or so and hadn't noticed them.
It was 9:30 Sunday night, we drove to Meijer's and the store was remolding and was out of everything.  Drove to Target, they close at 9. Made it to Walmart just as they were closing and got bombs and spray. We sprayed the kitty until he was wet than realized it said not to use on kitties! Oops. Kitty got a bath at 10:30 and we had to blow him dry, he is a long hair persian and we were using tweezers to pick them off as we dried. Gross!!!!!!!
We changed all the sheets and spayed the bedroom and tried to get some sleep but of course I kept imagining them crawling all over me. 
Kitty went to vet this am for flea dip and will be bringing home treatments for all three critters. Two bombs were deployed at the house at 9am. Dogs are at the office waiting for the tub to be free next door at the groomer and they are getting flea baths. They will stay next door at dogie daycare and I will set off a bomb in the office tonight when I leave. My car has been sprayed as well.
The comforter on the bed went to the dry cleaners. Once Will is allowed back in the house this afternoon, he has strict orders to wash all bedding in hot water, with bleach! I'm not messing around, I want them DEAD.
I stopped next door to talk with the doggy daycare girl and expressed my concerned about the fleas getting in my hair. My hair is very long, middle of my back and its totally freaking me out. She assured me that if the fleas were to "get me" they would go for the hair down south, if you know what I mean!!!!   Ok, so I'm shaving EVERYTHING as soon as I get home!!!!!!!
I've had cats forever and just recently the dogs but I've never had fleas and I'm just so totally grossed out and embarrassed!!! The vet assured me it was no big deal and in fact, they are having a really busy flea season right now. Ack. I just want them dead and gone. Please, someone tell me I'm not the only one to have fleas...I feel so dirty and creepy.
