My sweet little "Meep" is 8 weeks, and the fleas are having a field day with her... so far I have bathed her twice with Dawn.... but she keeps getting them... This is THE worst year we have ever had with fleas... I have had 3 dogs, and in the last 4 years NO fleas at all... this year it is a nightmare! I am going to find some borax and do my yard and my carpets and furniture. I have had it! Still wondering why God created Fleas... Do they actually benefit anything? I don't think the birds feed off them of any other creature needs them to survive...
